I too find this 'burn the freelander, doors fall off, gay hairdressers' and so on, very tiresome now. Just cus some numpty backed his freelander up while washing it, with a rear door open and smashed said door off on something solid, is not a reflection on the car. True the Freelander is more a normal car than a utility vehical, and by that very nature there will be a greater mix of people owning them and driving them like a normal car, possibly the odd hairdresser. As to their sexual preferences, whats the car got to do with that?
I have to say that all things considered I would not buy any other Landrover than a Freelander. I have no use for such a machine. Having said that I would seriously consider a Slitty the next time, simply because Landrovers are so unreliable. The rate I'm going my Hippo is going to be about three years old on a W plate, just cus some much has broke and been replaced.
What does **** me off is the guy I saw today who was driving a Rangy sport, black, blacked out windows, alloy low profile wheels and a four pipe stainless exhaust. It was powered by a V8 on an auto box and made more noise than most Barry boys make. Cheers mate, bring on the anti 4x4, gas guzzler, Chelsey tractor bridage, why don't you!!
