Another brave little Freelander

[silkwood]

Saw this one of a brave little Freelander.

Sorry, because of the bigger brothers with also a green oval on it, it takes so long.

A walk in the park well for the Hippo it was but not for the other excuses for a 4x4! How on earth can this be - I mean are those others so so bad?

I think you'll find that it's just the weight disadvantage here.

Weight makes that much difference - well why bother having a tank of a thing then if it won't go up a small incline?!

That's not a bad question!

So let me get this right - my Freelander is better off road than Discoveries and Rang Rovers - YES!!! My day is made.

Saw it this morning in the Portuguese LR forum! Easy and smooth

he stayed out the smooth wet deep ruts that clogged the discos treads up..and he wasn't gunning it in 1st losing traction...nice n steady was the trick

On a slippy slope weight can be the advantage. A fat tratter un it’s owner may struggle where a Freelander will excel.

It was nice to see the spectators clapping the brave little Freelanders at the end. A fitting reward for being so good.

It’s no wonder that Land Rover have moved over to independent suspension. Long live the Freelander. That’s what I ses.

Proof at last I've been trying to tell the silly bu**ers that for years.

 

[Freelaner]

Theres non so blind as those that will not see! :5bpiggy:

 

[angeloc]

Right do let me understand - Freelanders are best for boggy wet inclines where Discoverys and Range Rovers fail miserably - Freelanders are lighter nimbler and driven by far more competent off road drivers.

Well that just about says it all well almost - correct me but I didn't see any Tratters there - must have been the road journey to the site! Ha ha I jest in good fun.

Who needs a durdy tratter eh? When a Freelander is so good. :doh:

I think it was down to driver error in gear selection. Looking at the vid I rekon the freelander kept a constant speed in first gear and the tratters selected low range and then backed off the throttle when they hit the bumps meaning they lost momentum. Good on him though.
