Not quite, the presenter got the thing stuck, the local Defender driver came along took control and showed him how to go on. :lol:  :lol:

Must admit for the price I would rather buy a Disco 3

Where is the rear mounted spare wheel gone?? I know it only a small thing  :!:

It just seems 4x4's are starting to look more and more like your average car. I don't doubt this is a good car and good off road, but I'm not sure I like all the switches and strange settings!!

I like my seperate transfer gear stick.  :D

I think the new Freebie just looks like any other 'urban 4x4' now. Frankly it's hard to tell from a Nissan Entrail.... sorry X-trail  :lol: The interior is nice... follows the D3 lines. But I still prefer the look of the old Freebie.

And as for the price  :shock: If I understand correctly, they *start* at £22k!

I think it looks nice, and the engines they are using are fantastic. Shame about the price though as even entry level is D3 money (second hand) and as you move up higher your well into new D3 or 2nd hand rangie money!!

Another thing about fith gear....VBH....god dam she's lovely  :lol:

She is the best thing about the show. Even if the show was about paint drying and she was hosting it I would watch it..................... if I had a TV that is :wink:

Sorry, she's too annoying.

Suzie Perry is much better looking and much better presenter.
