It's the authentic Landrover experience, isn't it?

There's a good write up in May's Top Gear mag on the RaRo sport.  Test drives  done in Dubai - against a Porshe Cayenne and a BMW X5 :shock:

Living about 8 miles south of Gaydon I've been seeing them for months.  First of all they still had black camoflage on them to stop the paparatzi snapping the exact design but over the past 3 months they have been out in the open with the test drivers busy clocking miles on them.  Seen them about 30 times, never seen one broken down, did see one at full pelt on the M40, doing close to 70 mph officer.  Not yet seen one off road.

I saw one parked at the side of the road with the boot open and nobody about.

Talking to some of the guys from the factory, there seems to be a problem with the handbrake on some RRsp.

I thought the hand brake was an optional extra??  :twisted:

Never found one that worked on any of mine  :twisted:  :twisted:


Oh, and nice pic mate!!!
