Well....I went for the RRS! A G4 Challenge 4.4 V8 to be precise. Fuel economy aside, I love it!! :D:D

Yeah, you're right, I bet they'd be terrible offroad...:rolleyes: Oh, hang on, what's this? Three Land Rovers Tackle Sugarloaf - Extreme 4x4 preview - YouTube

What effect did the remap have on power/smoothness/MPG? Which remap did you go for? Thanks!

I actually like the looks of both vehicles, but agree that the RRS looks more balanced - I absolutely love the front end of the original RRS models, looks brilliant. As for offroad ability, this guy seems to give it a good go! RRSPORT.CO.UK • View topic - Range Rover Sport Extreme Offroad...

Far from it! Standard 2003 Td6 car taken on the trip in 2010: Vehicle

Weird isn't it, those guys who drove from London to Cape Town praised their L322 for it's reliability and made it without issue! I still can't decide but off to view and test drive a Td6 L322 tonight to see what all the fuss is about :)

That is true Saint, but I'm not buying the vehicle solely for that trip, it's gotta be an all-rounder - I'll just make sure it is covered in mud before I go to disguise it's newness!!

Tell me more??

I do have a carport and had considered that, but don't think it'll be tool enough with an RR as well as a roof tent / top box!

I'm always surprised about the dislike (bordering on hatred!!) of the RR Sport, which is part of the reason I created the poll! I must admit, I do hate the chav'd up ones with 22" wheels, chrome everywhere and all the other stupid stuff. But to me, a proper RR Sport with the 18" or 19" wheels...

Yeah I think that's the only way, which is a right PITA!! Thanks anyway :)

Most people on here tend to own RR Classic or P38's, but supposing you were going to trade them in for a newer model, which would you go for - Range Rover Sport or Full Fat Range Rover L322? Perhaps more importantly, why would you choose one over the other?

...without scratching the hell out of your roof?! Annoyingly I caught mine when I collected my tent (first time fitting, at night, etc - was going to happen I guess!) and don't want to repeat it. It's a Maggiolina Safari, so seems lightweight until you have to lift it above your head - at...

Thanks Zan but don't think they're quite rugged enough for my requirements!

Why did you bin the Classic roof bars?

I have four virtually new Insa Turbo Traction Track A/T tyres on my RRC, 235/70/16 size. The have probably done 1,000 miles, if that, since I got them late last year. Ideally I want a less aggressive tyre for my trip to Morocco, so was wondering if anyone fancied a swap? I only want the same...

Hi ratty, I think the Oasis are a 'fair weather' tent, not sure if they'd withstand a Saharan sandstorm! I've bought a used Maggiolina Safari now. Post some pics when you've mounted your tent - I've seen an Oasis before on an RR Classic:

Haha, thanks! Plenty think I'm mad/foolish, mainly because of A) it's a V8 and may overheat and B) it's on air suspension. I have been recommended to add Millers Cooling Additive to the coolant before I go, this lowers engine temperatures by up th 15'C, which combined with a working viscous fan...

Thermal cover? Doubt i'll need that in Morocco in August, but I still want one!

Planning on using it at the end of the month so will take some pics then!
