Mine, for example, is 8 years old, has done 105,000 miles, and is still going strong - seemingly in good mechanical order. Plenty of life left in it yet - as borne out by the many Defenders & Land Rovers before it that are decades old and still serving.<br /><br />::[crosses fingers]::<br /><br />::[takes deep breath]::<br /><br />So I can't claim that benefit for them.patentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602962323262055007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-37615296816526284202010-12-20T21:51:53.339+00:002010-12-20T21:51:53.339+00:00and they're good fun for the rest of the year ...<i>and they're good fun for the rest of the year as well.</i><br /><br />And they are more effective than other vehicles at fighting global cooling.Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407051721186824991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-57965176289413739202010-12-20T21:15:30.450+00:002010-12-20T21:15:30.450+00:00Julia - spot on!
