Hi All

I have been lurking for a long time and thought i had better introduce myself, I am located in Australia and my RRSport Spends 25% of its time off the road...

I have recenlty Added the 17" Wheels and 10 Ply cooper STT off road tyres, shortly will have Storage Drawers added as well. Ben

Really impressive Rangie. The guy on foot looks as if he panicked a bit.

The link doesn't work by the way, I had to copy and paste. Try this one.

Nice Rangie... do you change your bling wheels for the stock items when you go on the sand or is it simply that you didn't own the other wheels when you took the sand shot?

No, the sand shot was taken before the wheels were changed, i have thought about putting the 18" alloys on with decent road tyres, but then again, i cant be bothered changing them all the time!

Nice to see another sydney sider... have to catch up sometime Jim Ben

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

Hey, some'ats pinched my Sport and taken out to the sunshine................. and I've been driving it all weekend too

How do you find the Cooper SST's Rangie? I was offered them here at considerably less than the Goodyears, but have gone for the Goodyears and 1 month after ordering I am still waiting for them - the tyre dealer says Goodyear has recalled all the G4 MTRs in the UK as they are releasing another version with an uprated speed rating for RR's and Sports. I steered away from the Coopers as many of my Defender owning friends had found them not so good offroad, especially in the muddy conditions we have here. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Tata TDv8 HSE - Stornoway/ebony and straight grain walnut with towpack, Tasmods and an HST grille. Coming soon LEDs in the headlights
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road
