If you're using Chrome, look in the upper right corner and you'll see how you can translate the article into a rather interesting version of English.

Yes very interesting translation. I still don't know what it saying exactly
Maybe I'll take more time later to look at it

Most French translates into gobbledy gook anyways in any other language, it's an archaic non progressive language where even genderisation is still intrinsic and decided by committee at the flip of a coin more often than not.

Welcome back Senormac yep, sadly the Defender is out of fashion with the yuppies. Years ago the yuppies bought Series and Defenders and drove to the station in their wax coats over their slick city suits and parked up the LR for the whole day in the station car park. It was de rigueur back in the 80's, 90 and early 2000's. Now the fashion has moved on to bigger and better 'toys' for them who are now the city spivs of banking etc. The customisation of Defenders by companies like Kahn for the celebs (whatever they are) and pop stars has also died out.

The new Defender replacement looks familiarly like a Skoda Yeti not that there is anything wrong with them for a sensibly priced family 4x4.

Hmmm, looks a bit 'tarty' to me, hairdressers wheels.
