"It cannot be made to comply with EU6 regulations, due in 2014, so Land Rover is being forced to create an entirely new model. A little corner of Britain’s heart might break."

Rough and ready?

"......laughably incompetent on the road...." ?? Mine works fine thanks.
".......rough & ready....."?? Compared to what, a euro-saloon?

Do I assume this fella isn't a motoring journo, but a literature one?
