by Claire Njoki 04 Jan '11

Oh my, They did it again last night... 33 - 11 x 2 + 100 - 5 x 5 + 103 = ? The guy who won said that the answer is 312, but I cannot even see how that is possible... ...I have tried even doing the calculation using my new invention called reverse BODMAS (i.e. SAMDOB) and it doesn't come anywhere close to 312...THIS HAS TO STOP !!!! FOR THE SAKE OF THE LITTLE CHILDREN !!! THIS MUST STOP!!!! Claire.

You might also consider a 1995 model or previous range rover with the 3.9 ltr V8 (one of the most reliable engines, fuel economy aside). then again if you go with the new fuel efficient ones, no one will fix them for you. You might have to replace the air suspensions with heavy duty coils for more reliability... -----Original Message----- From: Garr Patronas Sent: 03/01/2011, 3:23 pm To: Skunkworks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Land Cruisers Vs Patrols "...extra tyre...a machete.."
