Here we go again with the bashing.
For those on a tighter budget, here's an older Mk4 that happens to fitted with an exquisite burl falconry box."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

but can you also fit a sheet of plywood in there at the same time? Didn’t think so.

I like the Wranglers but they're tiny inside for some reason. I'm 6'2 and 220 and my shoulders were smashed the whole time I drove a Wrangler unlimited rental. Cool car otherwise but I wouldn't buy one after having one for a week.

Looks like he bought that shit at pep boys. With apologies to sideshow bob, I long for the days when range rovers and falconry were gentleman’s pursuits; before every Tom Dick and Harry put (quite obviously non-bespoke) burl falcon boxes in their MK4s.
Oh well. I’ll stick to having ravens and crows follow me around in the Outback.

A story about this…
I’m in Maui diving with an old friend who lives near Hana. One day on a shore dive we come out on this really nice beach, and see a topless Wrangler out in the surf, and a couple having a somewhat animated discussion - well, she was the most animated, he was just standing there heads down.
It turns out they were on their honeymoon and husband decided it would be fun to drive on the beach at low tide. Never mind the rental contract sez Don’t Take This Vehicle Off The Pavement. He got it stuck, the tide came back in and the water was up to the doors. Every wave that hit it would deposit little fish in the cockpit.
Buddy agrees to attempt a rescue (using his rusted out mid-80s F150 & winch) for a price of $100 to even try and another $200 if we succeed - which we did. I was surprised the guy carried that kind of cash around…
When Wrangler is back on solid ground buddy asks the husband “you like this rig a lot brah?”
“Yea, it’s OK”
“Enough to buy it from the rental agency and ship it back to LA? Because if they find out what happened that Jeep is yours.”
Wife’s eyes get big…
“Uhh, no, not that much.”
“So, Go -now - to the Napa store in Kahului. Get a set of sockets and end wrenches. Then go to the do-it-yourself car wash about three blocks from there. Take out the seats and floorboards. Wash and dry that interior real good. Then get underneath and make sure there is no seaweed hanging off the undercarriage. Then immediately take it back to the rental agency and exchange for something else.”
We had a really nice dinner that night with the proceeds. Still wonder whether that couple is still together.

I wouldn’t mind living near Hana for long while.

Jeeps and Hawaii is a combo that makes sense to me (just not out into the tidal zone)

I always imagined driving a red with tan interior 308 in HI.

Ha! There’s an episode where he wakes up in the 30s and he drives a Bugatti type 37 GP. Obviously replica lol, even in the 80s I think those were hard to come by.
The show used a Volkswagen platform for the replica. This one is a Pur San and it uses the proper 8 cyl:

Right?
If anyone wants to be someone, then they need to go with the Holland & Holland Range Rover or GTFO.

Hehehe.
That’s at least getting you into something that won’t make the falcon think you’re some Johnny come lately with little more than a few bucks, a British whip and a tether. Note how the guy with the MK4 has placed a hood over the eyes of the falcon to keep it from noticing how janky the setup is.

Look, Bentley has one specifically for falconers, but I figured you cheap fucks wouldn't mind a older RR with an aftermarket kit. I guess I was wrong.

In some areas (not HI) it’s maybe just about timing

My wife didn't believe the Sean Penn story, but I do.
For the record, even if it's bullshit, it's a great story.
