Two kinds of people

I turned up outside a local main dealer and *everyone* in the dealership came outside to look at the beast, some at first refused to belive it was anything to do with being a Land Rover.....

I suspect dealers will soon be offering a discreet out of the way car park for series Land Rovers

Last time I was at a main dealer, I came away from the spares counter to find my treasured vehicle carefully hidden from view by a delivery of new Land Rovers.

More like a car park for anything over 4 or five years old. We don't use our main dealer - snobs.

Heh, actually there are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary, and those that don't :)

Skippy, 1988 RR, lacework and string, but goes off road like a good'un.

When I arrived in my 1990 Disco for some bits for my sons lightweight, the senior parts rep ushered the offfice junior out of the way,reminiced how he had had the same colour disco albeit a V8 at launch time, then binned the comp, got a large well thumbed parts manual out & sorted the right bits for the lightweight.........must have been very lucky I reckon.

J.V.Like have never complained about mine... one of their types has a camel disco mind. I went there when places were all flooded for something and he asked me if I'd found any good floods to drive through.

Hmm...can you count to four in binary on your fingers????

Chris

No, but I can do 1023.

Being able to count to over a million on your fingers & toes seems a lot more practical than the usual 20. Wonder why we use decimal?

yer only need 3 fingers. well, technically, you can get away with 2, if you only want to differentiate between 4 items.

with one hand you can do 0-31, or with both hands, erm... 0-1023.

add the toes as well, you can get over a million. mind, you've got to be bale to translate it beck into decimal, or it don't count.

I think the comment was referring to a 2-finger salute. Which is only 3 in binary (if you start from zero) but I thought if I pointed that out, things would get very confusing.

Dunno how many fingers I have got cos them is big numbers :)
