We never get any stick of the landie guys at the play and pay days
We usually surprise them on where we can go( and also when we recovered a rangie stuck in a hole :laugh: )
We usually get admiring comments from the green oval guys
Just finished reading all 19 pages.
Some of the comments are not really called for.
yes, it was a little antagonistic "invading" a Landie forum, but at the end of the day, the pint sized suzuki is more than capable, more reliable, and although its not going to haul a sheep or a couple of heavily over weight guys down a green lane, it will happily go where ever the Bigger boys go.
As for comments of rust ... I can show you a 10 year old Jimny that has been though Mud, Water, Snow, Ice and I can show you a 10 year old Disco / Defender. and guess which one will require welding to pass an MOT ..... ?
Im not saying the Bigger trucks are not any good, The sheer dimensions of a Landy compared to a Jimny will mean it is going to be better at obsticles that require a larger ramp over angle, and a wider track, but at the end of the day, I just have to pick my routes a little better.
I dont see wht they feel the need to comare a Lightweight with a V8 to a Jimny .. its like comparing a KAP trails prepped 3 Litre twin turbo Monster to a standard Disco ... What is the point !!!..

I like a bit of Banter with the Landy boys and give it out probably more than I get it!
That's what it is though, Banter, but I'm not sure I would have started that!
He's wrong too!
A SHOWROOM FRESH Jimny is crap compared with a SHOWROOM FRESH LR90.
I've been there and was made to look a tit with my old gold Jimny. Went laning on my own with standard sized AT's on a standard car and got stuck on a rediculously small rut! Got laughed at by lads on bikes, dug myself out with a screwdriver, hurt my hand doing so, sold Jimny.
Now I've got a 3 inch lifted bigger wheel + tyred winch and cage equipped Jimny and I could possibly make comparisons to modified Landrovers - but not say the Jimny is the better car!
