Thats an understatement :D And "Well wear" on the new motor, looks......................shiny :D:D
 
Simple, a bit like the hoover, sorry vacuum cleaner.

The willies jeep was the first mass produced in the world. Even the series1 footprint is based on it. It was not until the Series 11 came along that Land Rover took the title. By that time the Jeep word was in full use.

Now it is used to make the others feel good as they can not compete:D
Jeep is the word for 4 x 4s. Land Rover means 'The Best':) IMHA
 
I bet he confused the **** out of the poor sod on £3.25 an hour when he phoned up for his insurance.......'Yeah its a Jeep mate'.......Which model Sir?........'Discovery'.......'Errr, we don't list that'........'Yeah, its a Land Rover Discovery Jeep, X reg'.........'So is it a Land Rover Discovery, or a Jeep, Sir?........'Yeah, its a Jeep, but its a Land Rover mate'..........
 
Jeep, truck, car, Land Rover, Jalopy, ATV, RV, automobile, whatever.

Why do people call Reliant Robins Robin Reliants? Do we call Ford Cortinas Cortina Fords? Why do people post on here whole posts without even one punctuation mark? Why do people have abysmal spelling but yet don't even use a spell checker?

All these things have the potential to **** me off and occasionally do. But life's too short.

Yup i thinks this aswell
 
What annoys me is :-
Why are people with degrees classified as more intelligent than those who have done an apprenticeship.

Also, in this day and age does spelling and punctuation matter, especially when even the BBC mis-use the word 'more'.

They only think they are more intelligent, the intelligent thing to do is let them carry on thinking that. ;)

Yes it does but takes longer to send text messages that way ;)

I've never noticed the BBC mis-use of the word "more" :confused:
