Well, have to give credit where credit is due - much of the backbone of young Canada was formed by people of Scottish & Irish descent. It is particularly remarkable how much of our armed forces were comprised of Macs & Mcs in arenas such as Vimy, Passchendaele, and so on.

I have a new theory - the more sheep per person the better the country is at Rugby. The one country with even more sheep than Wales is New Zealand!!!

I do. "Uncle" Joe Lucas. To be fair though, Ducatis of the time seemed to have a total loss electrical system.

I wouldn't buy another landrover if they paid me. My last 90 needed multiple rear view mirrors just to watch for the bits falling off, these included insignificant and obviously unneeded parts such as a passenger door, a front wheel and the gearbox extension case seperating from the main body of the car at random intervals.......
LR have been trading on badge loyalty now for a number of years IMO

Great video - the Royal Marines do similar things!!!
How can the front wheel fall off a Land Rover? Unless of course repeated use of an air driver has sheared the studs?
Nothing has fallen off any of my Land Rovers - ever!!!
