Well, that was both fascinating and terrifying. Technically it was impressive stuff but I can't get over the way he kept taking his hand off the wheel to wave at spectators mid-corner and then running wide on the exits

Looks like JLR will have to start giving away free Disco 5 branded underwear with every purchase.

No doubt the marketing department are working on the Great British weekend ‘getaway car’ adverts for the new year...

Hence the flush door handles so you don’t catch them on the tarmac......

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

He went round faster than I could in a modified Focus ST with about 300bh!. Says more about my driving than the Discovery I think.

I was going to use the excuse it was wet when I did it, but it look like it was raining in that video too. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

It's even less than that. Discovery 2 was still current about 17 years ago and I can't imagine that lapping the 'ring. Darren
