Hey Dopey, haven't seen you around the for a while....How is everything and life after your kidney op????
I have to say the L405 (I believe is the designation) doesn't inspire me to much from the sneak pics I have seen....especially looking at what the Land Rover design dept. did to the Evoque!!!

I have seen pictures of the new model
Let's just say the pictures have turned me off the new model
Front looks very similar to the evoque !! Which just looks awfull in my opinion !
Hopefully the price of the older models will then come down so I can get my tdv8 vogue
Lol

I like the big red button!! Every Rangie should have an emergency button
Hey Spud, I would say the big red button is the DON'T PANIC! Button when it all goes wrong

One was driven through town the other day, but was all camo'd up, looked slightly smaller than the current model, but looks can be deceptive

The Evoque is supposed to herald the new design "signature" for Range Rover, those machine gun slit windows, sloping roofline, horrible bits of plastic brightwork and all. Very sad. My next and last LR will be a late model L322 I reckon. But in no hurry, loving my P38 inspite of her being a hysterical menopausal bitch sometimes!
Edit. Anyone seen pics of the new Defender? Its called DC100 and will really bring a tear to your eye.

I posted pics of the DC100 a while back, it's a fecking joke, a Gaylander in a new frock, normally front wheel drive, viscous to engage rear wheels when it's too late to do any good, cameras in the wing mirrors for "Terain Response" as owners cannot be trusted to select the right gear etc, I bet they will be just great when covered with mud. The fresh out of Uni geeks that are doing the design probably never been off road.

Apart from people who go off-road or boulder-crawling for a pastime (the type who normally modify their vehicles anyway) how often do off-road conditions actually get anywhere near the limits of any Land Rover product? I suspect an Evoke on the right tyres will go where most people actually need to drive. Even on the farm it's the tyres that matter.
Damp grass and wet mud will defeat any car on the wrong tyres add an incline and the lightest car will "win". Similarly "soft roaders" will perform perfectly well in most conditions as long as the tyres are right for the job.

Thank you for that. You made me laugh out loud.

Really? On a LR promo day, the only vehicle that made it up the muddy climb was a Defender, it lost it's exhaust on the way up. The Gaylander lost front grip and rotated until it faced back down the hill, the P38 broke down
These were all driven by LR "Experts"
