Such is the state of British exceptionalism that
1) the subject of the thread holds British records but not world records. This is a very limited version of exceptionalism, suggesting others elsewhere are a good deal more exceptional.
2) finding something special to say about Britain demands bumping a thread from a year and a half ago.
3) the Range Rover is by most data the least reliable car one can buy.

Quite coincidentally, "The English Patient" was the nickname at BMW headquarters for The Rover Group car company during the brief time BMW owned it, referencing what the Germans considered to be the sorry state of the Rover company and its vehicles.
