Driving in modern traffic
I noticed on a forum recently, a chap in Canada is selling his WW2 Jeep. Main reason given was the problem driving an old , slow vehicle in modern busy traffic.
Just my observations. The amount of cars/traffic on the roads around here has gone up exponentially in the past few years. Driving an older slower vehicle around has become a nightmare to endure, rather than being a enjoyable outing.
Had a fatality just down the road here a few months back , a windy narrow rural road and a 4X4 and inexperienced drivers.
I drove a series 1 Land Rover into the nearest large town twice, I was a nervous wreck battling huge trucks and fast cars on a quiet 'back road'. The Rover now sits unused.
