At some point the cost of keeping petrol up to a TB42 will stop me taking Silver out for a play - long distance plays, anyway :-). The answer to that would be a TD42, which is the same age and relatively low tech.
I'll be fascinated to see how the CRDs last with different usage, eg short trips in suburbia -v- longer trips.
I think there's a difference between technology for luxury and there's technology for motors to make better power, better performance, etc. the 2.8l was nothing as an example...lololol
The old school is good I agree and as I said they don't make cars as the used to.
How many of you have a fancy tv, dvd , etc, etc. It's all technology and here to stay. I think we need to move forward and accept technology is here and getting bigger and better.
Bring it on!!! hahahah
Just on the other note, why are the old school boys putting on new technology on their so great GQ's.......:) yes you Andy HAHAHHAH
By that theory, we should all be living in caves and carrying clubs then. :DQuote:

In fact Turbo technology dates back to the early roman times where they stitched a large funnel on the horses mouth to draw more oxygen in before battles...LMAO
Wot Andy said x2 go the Romans hahahahhahahahahhaa
Tap, Tap.......Who's there?
For sure totally agree technology is great....Our generation is seeing some cool things but maybe we should of stayed back in the dark ages....I'm looking forward to our nuclear and biochemical war coming up next month too....Yay for technology!!!...LMAOQuote:

If you had 2 cars...
Brand new 1990 GQ TD42 N/A engine and a brand new 2.8/3 litre litre GU Patrol.
Drive continuously around Australia (fairly moderate/extreme type of offroading) from mud to salt to deserts through rivers and muddy holes to snow and salt water until one eventually had a "Fault" and had to stop.
Which one would most likely stop "Running" first?

Half your vehicle is a GU isn't it????
GU's are a more technology advanced vehicle , right???
At the moment I need something to bottle my farts as I reckon I could make any GQ fly like a rocket...HAHAHAHh

I'm guessing he is asking has technology killed the newer 4wd's in reliability, strength and longevity???
If the above is correct then my answer is yes!
