I agree lots of landrovers and Nissans O/s. Back in the early nineties i even bought some defender utes for underground work at
Norseman. From all accounts they went
well, not that any vehicle underground lasts for more than 18 months. One of the
views from Snr management was that they were good because they slowed the guys down on the bitumen.
Bought some early Rockies once for Leinster underground, the logic being you can get twice as many for your dollars so what if they dont last as long.
In this industry cars are considered consumables, depreciation or resale dont count. Long term mileage doesnt matter much either, they never get a lot on the clock.
As they say horses for courses. Not upset about his post at all, fills in a quite day.
