Yep, old four-wheel drive vehicles, ECP machines and that Chi massage apparatus where you put your ankles and get thoroughly shaken are probably based on the same principle - rattle those parkies through to the bone marrow. As I mentioned, the drawback is the uncalled for headaches you get, but I also have to admit that I secretly love sitting high up overlooking traffic and watch all the other cars frantically passing us, while we fly along at a break-neck speed of at least 50-55 mph, like the Beverly Hill Billies or something, wondering why people are so nervous and drive so fast!

Come to think of it, we are probably holding on to that old Land Rover because it's an icon of days gone by, when people bought a vehicle to last them a lifetime and not to be glamourous or posh. What surprises me most is that lately hip-looking young guys (probably surfers or mountain-bikers or snow-boarders) have been approaching us asking whether we'd like to sell it...never thought I'd see the day!
