    Should I........ ?

    I'd say better the devil you know. People don't look at 4wd's and there age unlike many other cars.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Well it fits with the bike having around 3mm of space between the fork and spare wheel. So I wrap the fork with a cloth to save it marking. Its a Thule 2 bike one. Not the brand new version though you have to use a spanner to fit it and straps to hold the wheels. Don't see why the new version...
