Thank you so much for the nice Words and for visiting landmannalaugar with me!

Thank you!

Thank you for coming to landmannalaugar!

Thank you for joining!

Nice that you write that, I always loved the books too and never got into the movies because I was so disappointed that everything looked different than in my fantasy. And yes that’s how I would imagine it too!!!

@@Got2Go i still can recommend the movies by Peter Jackson. See the extended versions.

Thank you so much!

There will be super cool warercrossings in the next two episodes, some of them were actually so exciting that my travel partner said I should look instead of film 😂😂😂

Thank you for coming to landmannalaugar!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Oh congrats! Always nice to get the vehicle of your dreams especially after waiting so long!

Dont say that too early - there are two more episodes of the Iceland series to come and I think the roads are getting better and better! Especially in the last episode I will have one of the most beautiful roads I ever have seen for you guys!

Thank you for coming to landmannalaugar virtually

Ohhh that’s a nice one!!! Envious!

I love them too! I own a Toyota landcruiser myself but a newer model - I am always looking at the older ones in admiration ! Most beautiful car!

Thank you so much!

Yes, Iceland and landmannalaugar are really stunning

Even more spectacular roads to come! But a visit to landmannalaugar is definitely a must!

Thank you so much! I like the defender too but tbh I think the style of the old defenders is unbeatable. I don’t get why all cars need to become luxur SUV type vehicles…

The new Toyota Land Cruiser 2024 or an Ineos Grenadier would be my choice.

@@totoarriba 2024? Do they even work without internet access? 🥴

I am also not so sure I like that new landy. I don’t know why every car needs to end up looking like a luxury suv. 😕

@@Got2Go I think there's a relatively simple answer for that: People pay for the shit. Real off road capability has always only been requested by a tiny fraction of customers. Off roaders look edgy and utilitarian, are technically more complex, heavy and thus thirsty and here in Europe like in most other densely populated regions in the world, off roading is illegal due to the damage it does to the few remaining bits of nature. So hardly anybody really has a use for real off-road ability. That's why the SUVs are rubbish there as well, by the way. The heavy weight and big engine power makes such vehicles ideal for pulling trailers. That's where they shine on the road. In all other aspects, their heavy weight and size makes them unwieldy and awkward. See Fortnine's last video about their safety deficiencies to add to that. Long story short: If many people buy them, even the more complex tech becomes a cash cow. When all the cars you offer are SUV-ish, you get away with basically putting the same components into all of them. Of course a small vehicle's 4WD mechanical parts fail quicker in the big heavy ones, but buyers of big heavy don't pay for reliability, they pay for image. The entirety of customers pay for the security recalls and warranty repairs there after all, so making the lower market segment cars a bit more expensive pays for the rubbish sold at the high end. Then there's market research: Marketing experts try to find out the most common taste and what design would please everybody. That results in a vehicle having to please people who wouldn't understand what an off-roader or actual sports car is to begin with. That's why a Ford Ka and Renault Twingo look so suspiciously similar to a Hyunday Super Countrypatrolmeister nowadays. Zeitgeist. Fat and bulky was announced to be hip by car designers. The vast majority of car buyers are by and large indifferent in what the car looks like, it just has to carry them to work and the shops, so they buy the stuff. People who buy SUVs wouldn't buy off-roaders, but when SUVs are the only thing you'll get, people looking for off-roaders will buy SUVs, even if these crates are rubbish where there's no tarmac. It's a bit like with the music industry: They don't sell songs written by artists anymore, they sell niche designed products aimed at market shares. Casted bands, boy groups or girlie groups, that present market oriented bits of "lyrics", Baby Spice, Posh Spice, This spice, that spice so that every teen finds what his wettest dreams came up with to catch every potential customer's attention and pennies. SUVs are the spice cars. The one size fits all. It doesn't, but as long as the people with all the money do believe it does, they'll pay for it. (Rhetorical cross-language brilliance alert:) Das ist, wo der Wurm drin ist! (German: Da ist der Wurm drin (There is the worm in there.) is an idiom for saying "There's something wrong") That is the connection! The worm, the spice… It was me who found it out. 😳🤯 Could it be? Am I the Kwisatz Hadderach? 🤨🤔😵‍💫🤢! …🤔²👑💰💰🤑🤗🤩!!1!

Especially because all the normal things that I am wearing get more and more dirty from video to video from all the dusty off-roading. We got never charged for it but in the end even the inside of the car had a thin dust layer 😂😂😂

Oh I love charlotte! Hello back!

💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Ohhhh ich bin ja kein Fan der G-Klasse! Irgendwie ist er so protzig! Mein Liebling sind die alten Toyota landcruisers 70 Series - ich habe selbst einen bisschen neueren aber schaue immer neidisch auf dieses Auto….

@@Got2Go Moin, wenn man die G's auf die beliebten und teuren AMG Varianten beschränkt, ja, da bin ich bei dir! Ich denke da eher an die ursprüngliche Variante aus den 80ern oder wie die Bundeswehrausführung. Spartanisch ausgestattet mit allem Notwendigen, was man zum Reisen braucht. Liebe Grüße zum Weltfrauentag!🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you for watching!

Hello again!

@@Got2Go hi dear. 🤗

💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

it’s nice, but have to admit I prefer the old school style….
