So you are watching it then. And lurking in the Freelander section too.

A bit of history

WLJayne · Feb 27, 2013

Well I learned something - I didn't know I could lift the rear seats up when I tilt them forward, i really hated that feature so I'm glad it was just me being dense.

Lol at all the praise of robustness and reliability. Deary me.

enjoyed watching that. FL1 is still one of the best looking 4wd

interesting how the mentioned that the front wheel drive feeling would be something customers would be usd to as a selling point :doh: funny how things date so quick ,love them or hate them it was certainly a successful concept

There isn't one, they were talking about HDC which some early Hippo's didn't come with as standard

.

I know - was being sarcastic

they sell this thing as though it was full of electronics and advanced technology - there again maybe it was when it came out ???

things have certainly changed since then though ......!

Ah

, sarcasm is lost on me without the "

" smiley hehe. Well TC was not old hat back in '97, and HDC was very clever, maybe not a huge leap foreard but very clever

Still works best as a front wheel drive in my opinion.

Fantastic vid Hippo

Thanks for sharing

That's was an interesting watch

Love the old style long hair permed look lol, and how they went on about the interior styling with colours PMSL. I wonder if the female presenter had a swimming pool in the boot after her trip through the river?

Still I do love my freelander, I can sit in the back and have a foot spar whenever I've driven through a few puddles, well until the mastic comes out

ound:

Got my new treads on today, so watch out on those muddy slops

Ian jones · Feb 28, 2013

I did not realise the freelander got WHAT CAR , car of the year 1998 award

and you could have the optional HDC for a grand extra

howardo · Feb 28, 2013

freelander 1 is the best allround car ever made. shame about the k-series engine, drivetrain and landrover reliability.

Freelaner · Feb 28, 2013

K series rule
