They are getting used a lot more here in the UK, and when it comes to damaging a vehicle, it depends how rich you are and how determined you are at using the vehicle to it's max. I know someone who uses is £60,000 plus top of the range, Range Rover, (still less than one year old) off road in some seriously tricky situations, but he has a lot of the extra's fitted and approved by Land Rover, which means his warranty will not be voided... _____________________________ Land Rover Series One 1952 Land Rover Defender 200TDi 1991 www.**** (in reply to 05LandRover) Post #: 7
