It makes me laugh ......
It really does make me laugh this argument.......
I am sure that there must be examples of Land Rovers faililng, but I have read HUNDREDS of overland websites and not come across one.
Go to the link below and see that, surprise surprise, Toyotas break down catastophically too! And even more ironically, spare parts for the Toyota weren't available and it has to be shipped back to the UK, whilst they continue the rest of their trip in a hire car.
End of the trip
Now to be fair to Graham they have had a great trip, and written some nice stuff, but he was also a huge advocate of Toyatos and wrote several emails explaining why you shouldn't take a land rover. I think he is now of a different opinion, but I believe he reads the HUBB and so will most probably answer for himself.
I think all I am trying to say is anything you drive could break down, but remember, it's not all about just getting from A-B but it's about the adventure, well certainly it is for me.
Long Live Romance!
PS Well done Graham and family for their great trip, and for inspiring others with their great blog and photos! Good luck for the rest of the trip
