hiya

just watched top gear about about our hero's using a freelander then going into a wildcat.

Made me feel so proud to be british and really hope they make it onto the Dakar race

the freelander i assume that was a V6 or was it seruiosly modified.

first time ive seen one of those wildcats, that is a seriuos bit of kit.

hope they get the sponsor ship they so deserve

It was a pleasure to watch those guys beating the odds, and it gives me hope for my freelander being some sort of off roader!!

Great TV!
