I have no problem with JRL doing a model to compete with the G series... it should just be the right one.

The G 500 4x4².

Looking at that, and if anyone wants a LR variant, surely that’s when you turn to the Bowler Bulldog?

I was in my transporter. 140bhp, not too slow.... could I catch it? NAH! it was GONE..... fast as f.... Laughing

Form follows function ~ what not to like?

All the vertically there is just by chance rather than an artificial construct than imbibes the vehicle with integrity... Whistle

Yes portals. I read somewhere that they had issues with breaking or cracking so came up with some fancy bracing struts.

It's all about China... Interesting to also read about them not chasing the volume but happy to sit in a number of niches. This after they killed their most niche vehicle because they wanted to chase volume. Hey ho, I don't think we'll get an apology. Crying or Very sad

Just have to say thanks to Land Rover for using the new Defender to bring the Cup to us.

Both teams played a great game.

A 90 with a faulty sunroof? Only the rear half opens, so must have been put in back to front (about right for JLR QC these days) that one will be off to the crusher PDQ Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Have to say it was right SA won, but it definitely wasn't a good game to watch and England have to look at their own performance for the loss. In the first 10 minutes it really looked like some of them were a little overawed by the occasion.
