I'm fascinated. You guys have so much at your disposal over there, then you opt for Britain's Revenge.
I suppose out of the whole bunch a Disco 1 is the best option. Just put some money aside for when it breaks
(no offence to Landy lovers. Just fascinated by the grass is greener on the otherside syndrome)

You know how it is... Grass is always greener on the other side.
Unfortunately, we do not have many expedition platforms at our disposal. No 70's, no Patrols, no 105s, no Defenders

Probably the best we could do would be a Van or a big *** SUV with more bells and whistles than a 747 (not to mention cup holders) The smallest automotive Diesel we can buy over here is a 3.0 L V6 in a Jeep and they don't put it in the new Wrangler !?!?! The rest are 6.0 or so and live in trucks and suv's that can be quite a struggle to deal with off road. My '97 F350 ate a transmission at 90K miles as did my Defender 110, seems about normal these days for tranny's new Automatics seem fail more often and are all electronic no feild repairs.. And try and buy an 80 Series without above mentioned widgets and cup holders.
We really do have bizzillions of options, we're the biggest consumer of automobles in the world! But we (as a nation) tend to get bored easily and we're easily convinced that we need a new car because now it has new widgets. It's really an automotive wastelend very few of our options lend themselve to a true multipurpose vehicle.
Sorry for the rant but everytime I think of all the Cool toys available in the ROW I get a little wound up..

I should warn you Scott, if you go to Inland Rovers, Gordon will probably sell you on a custom tuned set of Fox's. He's got the set up totally dialed in, and he is very well known around here as the guy to go to for such things. I didn't mention it before because you wanted the OME's, but if you are considering the Foxes, you should put that on your list for Inland Rovers, along with their fab'd items.
