And quoting from the JLR website:

"Joseph added: “At first the Land Rover Defender was difficult to drive, but I did fall in love with it because it brought you back to this contact, this very immediate contact that you don’t get in modern computerised cars.”

Just watching the first one again……..it really does make you wonder at why people would crawl through tiny spaces for the first time!

Ran did a tour of talks just before lockdown, he is just so dead pan, but it was so funny, and when he describes every detail of cutting his fingers off by putting them in a vice it just left you speechless. He is one amazing character with an incredible life story, well worth going if he does it again 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6

Certainly can, all to do with a barn in a field that he couldn't see from his house but complained about anyway, and it was subsequently removed. Karma came home when he wanted mains electric at his house, farmer refused to have poles across his fields and insisted on it being buried. Which was a tad more expensive than having poles. 110 D250 SE HT
