Maybe the insurance isn't paying out for the fire? From what I heard, Landrover always denied that it was the first range rover by saying that they numbered the first few randomly
 I'm guessing they just wanted to buy it back cheap! |

The picture remind me of the time in 1978 when I was helping an in law who was a builder. He had a 10 ton tipper wagon, a JCB and his Range Rover on site one day and needed to remove 20 wooden fence posts that had been set in 6 foot of concrete. I was given the keys to his Range Rover that was only 7 days old and told to pull the posts out and not to damage to vehicle. I was  myself all day expecting a post the thud into the back. When finished he said was that fun. I could have had more fun if I was let looses with the JCB was my reply. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off.
