Being a man who tries to keep his word… let me return to the subject of the Land Rover. (I did say I would about two months ago).
I know that my views are not universally accepted, but I do think Landrovers are fantastic cars. Mine has transported me to the Alps and back and spent the last few weeks lugging wood for the Poustinia around the country. This morning I arrived with a large trailer stuffed full of wood and roofing felt and other bits having cruised, albeit slightly noisily, back from collecting it all. It seems that whatever task I throw at it, it copes.
Yes, a Lexus would be quieter, a 2CV less bumpy, a Yaris more economical, a 1200GS quicker, and so on, but it gets there with all the things I ask it to lug around. Furthermore, get it in the mud and it is virtually unbeatable. It is a jack of all automotive trades and the master of off-road.
Omnicompetence is great in cars. I wonder, though, if it was the way that humans were designed to be?
Simple Mark, that is why God made us unique, all with different functions for the Body of Christ. As a little toe nail I appreciate my role as being a blooming niggle to the rest if out of sorts ;)
