Over the last 25 years, I have owned approximately 15 different Rovers (plus a handful of other BL cars) - none of which has ever failed to deliver me to my destination. In fact, the only breakdowns I've ever suffered have been in VWs.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the light aircraft engines that I've had to deal with (and in which I've travelled far fewer hours and miles!).
Does anyone remember the "If only everything in life was as reliable as a VW" advert? Light aircraft engines appear to be that reliable - thankfully Rovers are more durable!
