I just do not like the unreliability of complex systems which involve engine management and the like.
Take Ferrari, no-one can service them these days, you plug them into the central diagnostic computer, not the way I want to go. I want something simple mechanically, that will go and keep on going, that can be fixed with all manner of bodged temporary repairs when the going gets rough to get you out of trouble.
I am not looking for high performance, comfort even, or style, a vintage landie has all the style I need.
