The D5 is a lot better than the D¾

Big 4x4 test drive last night at Millbrook with D5's.

The D5 is amassing off road Thumbs Up

One chap said comparing the D5 to the D¾ is like comparing the D¾ to a Series 11 SWB

Fair play Land Rover Thumbs Up

Amassing? Shirley totes amazeballs?
It even impresses US IT bods - clicky -although that'll be the petrol variants.

Could not as there was a camera ban, there were other 'sensitive' vehicles in the same area.

In my perfect world Land Rover have effectively persuaded Tarquin and Jocasta to fund the development of the next generation of Totes Amazeballs (tm) vehicles, including Defender2020 or whatever it gets called, by test-bedding it in the wonky-arsed bloat wagon that I only dislike because I can't afford one.

In my *perfect* world.

I don't suppose he happened to work for LR did he Smile Whistle Of course no company rep is going to slate a new model unless he has other plans for his future!

I think millbrook use professional testers, it's what they do. Their reputation depends on it.
