I stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Phoenix with a friend one time and the valet practically had to rip the truck keys out of my hand. I wanted to go wander around and find the valet lot so I could check on the truck in the middle of the night but my friend wouldn't let me.

haha, actaully when I was about 7 or 8 Nick at Nite still showed shows from around that time and one of my Favorites was " I Dream of Genie" or was it Jeannie?. But to this day one of my favorite shows is "I love Lucy!"
(great... you made me sound like a 50 year old man)
One requirement is it MUST leak during one point (or most of) its life.

Good question, I've never figured it out. I can probably park better than most, and I know how to drive probably better than most. Plus I have use of both of my legs.
Generally I don't patronize places that have valet parking, or I park somewhere else.
I sort of answered it a few pages back, saying they weren't real Land Rovers unless they had a metal dash. But that's sort of taking it to the extreme. ![Wink](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/Uh2vXQr.png)
I think diehards who speak of "real" Land Rovers are thinking of the original Land Rover target market, utilitarian use. The ones you could hose out when you got back to the house.
Now you might very well find people who drive a RRS say that Series Rovers and Defenders aren't "real" Land Rovers because they aren't luxury 4WD's.
For me, "real" Land Rovers have solid axles and swivel *****. But that's just me.

I have often wondered this myself. This Land Rover Forum site is Discovery dominated. With over 5 times as many threads as Range Rover and over 15 times as many threads as Freelander and Defender put together. I'd like to meet the yuppee who decided on a Freelander, but he might boot me...
I heard a few idiots calling the Disco was a land rover for girls and a range rover for guys.. but I dont see anywhere near as many serious beef machine range rovers as I see Discos! but I like girls so I thought disco would be best anyway! hahaha

All one needs to do is lie down on a creeper, pull themselves underneath their Disco, then do the same to any Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chevy, or Dodge truck - and there will be no doubt it's a "Real" Land Rover. It's exceedingly obvious just how much more robust almost every cross bar, axle spindle, steering knuckle, etc - is when compared to any of the aformentioned.
