Thanks for posting, interesting article.

It's kinda sad that the closest to taking the Patrol "off road"they was apparently to drive it on a dirt road. If they would have found some semi-serious off road areas to run it in, I believe their opinion of it would have been a lot higher.

It's nice that they have a Patrol in the Heritage collection but they really could have done a better restoration on it. The seats?! Spongy brakes?! C'mon. :snooty:
Beyond any hope for intervention
