I wonder how long it will be before Land Rover starts laying people off?

13 litres and 3 tons. Lovely. I may have to ask DimPrawn for a loan though as Xeno Worldwide Amalgamated Ltd can't quite stretch to $10m...

Yes I have looked at the H3 and love the substance of them. I have climbed in and out of one and they feel as though they made of iron (probably unlike the Jeep).

Sensible suggestion! I kinda fancy the power though. No doubt it'll corner like a sofa though...
