Even though I have a North American Landie 110 and would not trade it for a Landcruiser, if I was gona cross Australia or Africa or some other challenging terrain, I would want a LandCruiser.

Exactly. I'm a peasant. When I feel I can justify enormous service / parts costs then I'll buy a Range Rover. Until then, I, like many others, will keep my ****-profile lower.

If you had to buy a ford you really should have gone for a F150 Raptor.

come on - it's the only decent thing they make. I'm desperate to chop the fortuner in for one but Mrs Millhouse is convinced we need 7 seats.

You only have 1 kid right? That kid can only have 1 mate, 4 seats is plenty.

I don't ever anticipate using seats 6 and 7 but with them flat it means I can leave my golf clubs in the motor. Saves on effort. Tick.

Nah, keeping the VW. Only done 33k miles, so can't really justify pushing the company to change it. And, of course, I'd now be so worried about what Commander thought.
