Question about adhering Support Our Troops ribbon

Strange as it may seem, I tried to adhere one of those Support Our Troops yellow magnetic ribbons to my Land Rover Discovery. Haven't had the truck that long, but the ribbon didn't adhere to the usual places one one adhere the ribbon. I am wondering if the lack of magnetic capability is due to the fact that those parts were possibly in an accident and replaced by a body shop, or quite possibly the LR is constructed differently than American cars and the inside structure is not fully magnetic. Just curious.

Your LandRover sports an aluminium body! consequently it is generally non magnetic!

Thanks, I did find a few places that it adhered to. I had it on the door, then I moved it above the side window area.

Hehe this reminds me of when my nice new magnetic Bluetooth GPS extension aerial arrived. Put it on the roof of my Defender and it slid off. D'oh! Fortunately the cyclone top on the snorkel is steel and it sticks like s to a b, and gets perfect satellite coverage to boot as it's the highest thing on my vehicle.

You can of course fool it, put a mild steel plate on the other side of the aluminum panel and you're back to stb!

Well maybe it is according to the British Army who designate a Wolf as a Truck Utility Medium. though personally I thought a wolf was something that ran around in sheeps clothing.

Just whatever you do don't call it a jeep, though you can call a jeep anything you like so long as I care.

If my (and other peoples) experiences are anything to go by, your missus probably knows a few more names for a 101 ;)
