Land Rovers are slow; I have driven a long wheelbase diesel during a summer
job and it's maximum speed was about 60mph. It was very noisy, the steering
shook continually; it was so noisy that we could bearly notice the fact
that the front of the propshaft was held on by 2 loose bolts. Two other
guys were not so aware, and ignored the steering shake until they were
overtaken by a wheel!!
This outfit was a nightmare, I was sort of baptised under fire (with
respect to vehicles); my first windscreen shattering, first bonnet flying
up whilst bombing along the road, first bogging down in the mud with a 4
wheel drive vehicle, first reversing into a telegraph pole, you name it,
it probably happened sometime with this company. But it was good fun ;-)
and we always blamed the problems on the guy that had just left.
Regards,
Mike
