Describing a 1989 British Land Rover in a Wall St Journal article. "We did hit some weather. There's a lot of water ingress with this truck, but that's part of its charisma."
Water ingress. Yeah right. Any real person would say "It leaks like a sieve." Part of its charisma??? Detroit figured out how to make a waterproof car back in the 1930's. I've owned and ridden in a lotta things over the years, Fords, Chevys, Dodges, Caddy's , Mercuries, They all had problems of one kind or another, but none of 'em leaked rainwater. For that level of build quality, you gotta go to England.
He also admits the Land Rover was only doing 11 mpg and burning oil at the same time. Another example of British engineering at it's best. A plain old V8 Chevy pickup will give you 16 mpg.
