Unfortunately the 4x4 suburban wagon plague has taken off with a bang, but these types of vehicles, although eminently capable, are only taken bush, and I mean bush, rarely.
They have become somewhat of a status symbol, but the fair dinkum, 4x4 wagons and those of us who own them, have very confidence in them, expecting them to become knocked about, in travels to remote places, knowing that in the event of a breakdown we will be able to cope.
I'm talking here from the voice of experience, having owned a Series 2a Land Rover for 42 years, indeed, during that time we established indelible memories in our children to such an extent, that we have been forbidden from ever
disposing of it, every dent and every scratch has a story behind it.
Anyway at present it is undergoing a massive rebuild, there is a long established tenet, that one never really owns a series Land Rover, one simply preserves it for the next generation.....!
