in the same respect that if you want to know what is the most reliable saloon car checkout what the taxi drivers are driving

if you want to know what is best most reliable towing car, forget what the caravan club say, checkout what the gypos are using !

My brother (who has one) explains the basic rule of 4x4: use the 4-wheel drive only to get out of trouble, not to get into it.

Expressed as a Murphy's Law: The better your 4x4, the farther out you get stuck.

the disco's I'm looking at are in 4 wheel drive all the time.....but yes I take his point.

Hmm, 100mph in a Landrover?
Range Rover, yes. Land Rover, nope.

my Disco would be fine doing about 110mph and be very happy doing 100mph.

Yes those Nissan Bluebirds go on forever, and as for gypo's they buy BMW X5's because they have large ill gotten incomes and they like shiny flashy things!

Ah I remember my OTC days when they let us loose in a V6 landrovers, should have seen the looks on the faces of the blokes in thier hot hatches when a army landrover overtook them on the motorway slip road and left them for dead accelerating past the 100mph mark on the motorway.

Loads of fun, and they did off road surprisingly well too

1. Mercs.

accelerating past the 100mph mark on the motorway

Where do they have those?

1. Mercs.

Yes but the Mercs used by taxi drivers in germany etc are all pre-1999. After 1999 Merc had huge QC issues as they took their eye off the ball after the Chrysler merger. I believe these issues are fixed now, but I wouldn't bet on it

What would you bet on? It would be useful to know
