Or they were designed and built to cope with more than the average Corsa, Fiesta, etc.

Which reminds me, i have to offload the chucks of oak tree filling the back of the YJ...

The back of my range was filled with fence posts yesterday evening. The farms pickup has suffered an incident (hit by a young lady who is insured by "drive like a girl" and stereotypically, she did!). They were free if I could collect them then and there. Big cars are damn handy some times! (other times eg when filling up with fuel they suck!)

have you thought of gpl or fitting a diesel?

Yes, Rich. You've killed the interwebs stone dead. Here's what you should have been seeing:





It's no use for France though, as some thoughtful soul has put the steering wheel in the correct place. Shame they didn't do likewise with the wipers but hey, you can't have it all ways.

Buying a manual DAF 77/Volvo 340 is much the same as having a dog but biting the postman yourself. Nasty gearchange, nothing like the same incredible acceleration from rest 'til the car's maximum speed of around 52mph oh, and the speedometers tend to under read as three of the points on my licence can demonstrate!
I was never as happy as I was the day that the gable end of a house fell on top of what had, a few months earlier, been my fifty quid example of the 340. The tumbling masonry scratched the paint really quite badly and cracked on corner of the windscreen yet still the evil Dutch sod refused to die. Dead now though, and its pulleys and belts are in another example. It was a decent car in fact, but its speedometer cost me sixty quid and those points.

Do the world a favour please, Rich. Go and view the 340 and accidentally burn it to a crisp during your visit. Pretty please?
