the paying over the odds for an SE based model (more than you pay in the UK for an HSE me thinks) or being left behind in terms of model release ah, reminds me of a Monty Python BBC licence fee sketch Another Pommie Bar Steward down under MY20 Defender 110 SE P400 Eiger/Ebony MY10 3.0 RRS TDv6 Fuji/Ebony/Anigre |

is the lack of 8 speed gearbox a possible indication that its not up to the off road use you Ozzy lot do?

surely it cannot be any worse than my current 6 speed box that does not have the inclination to know what gear to select half the time when cornering, slowing down for junctions, roundabouts etc, and that is on the black stuff, which contrary to what my fellow UK types may think, they do have here in abundance Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Very few Land Rover products are drivin in this way, most are just bought and driven around the metro areas like X5's and ML's etc. Although Land Rover push their off road history as a point of differentiation, the reality is they see their key markets in the family and poser markets - as these are bigger and worth more $'s! |

I have stopped waving to Landrovers because they all seem to be driven by soccer mums who have no idea what they are driving - to them Landies is just a car to take the kids to and from school and dance lessons. Garry 07MY RRS TDV6 Arctic Frost Aspen Interior |
