We've been discussing this on the UK-LRO list.
I was here when the first LRO list split, and the split was *supposed*
to be between the workshop/non-workshop people - with the majority of
the RR/Disco people being firmly in the non-workshop camp.
Over time, it has mutated into leaf verses coil tribes - even to the
extent that some people refuse to discuss the ability of the RR & Disco
vehicles as serious off-road vehicles, and as vehicles that are
suitable for home-restoration.
To us non-NorthAmerican listers, it's amusing/sad/worrying that so many
people seem so hell-bent on ignoring the later models.
In the UK, the culture of Hybrid vehicles is much stronger, so we don't
get as bogged down in the leaf/coil issue.
Just my opinion...
