If you’re a mod, then mod. Tell the others too.

Welcome to the forum. Instead of a polite introduction, your first post was to bring attention to an obvious spam post, so it looked very sus.

Okay. Sorry didn’t realise i hadn’t posted here yet.

I admire and desire an MQ shorty to complement 2 hi-luxes, 2 land cruisers (hj60 and bj73) and a ‘58 Land Rover.

Not really sure why; maybe just because they were the in thing when I was a boy.

You’re about to see the light. Get under the MQ and compare diff size, chassis section size, drive train size compared to the Toyota.
Don’t even worry about comparing the Land Rover in any aspect. Sell it.

Love you Plasnart XO, I'm glad to hear your well.

Yes I'm still a mod.... and mod mostly in the background, what you guys and girls see and report is not even half of the spam that is posted on this forum. I'd tell the others to mod but no real need to as they they still do when they can, I mean we all still have life's to live other than sitting here removing spam post as soon as its reported.

I see your point.

But post war Britain was not a place to be able to enjoy the ‘luxury’ of massive parts, powerful cars etc. Land Rover was a pretty ingenious product of its climate and fitted perfectly (surplus aluminium, naff all steel, speed limit 30mph, people by and large were not wealthy).

Toyota does what it does with a special brand of process control if not imagination.

Patrol, as you say, is bigger and arguably better in many ways.

Land Rover can drive power take offs, generaotrs and skip over boggy ground like almost nothing modern or ‘better’ especially this one with a Peugeot xd2s and high range transfer. Alaska it dismantled at moment.

MQ just, in my opinion, has just right proportions and is simple enough for a mug to understand. Leaf springs have their own special functional simplicity that appeals as opposed to the more complex arrangements of coils and control arms
