that looks like so much fun!
being new to land rovers but having considered a Defender XS utility before giving in to gadgets of the Disco why the hell does something as basically engineered (in terms of technology) handle the conditions so much better?
is it just down to the tyres? some of those defenders had pretty chunky looking rubber! XC90 T8 R Design Pro

I'd suggest it was the tyres vs snow combo - in plain rain in The Peaks a D3 on road tyres is bl**dy good - but even better on more appropriate rubber Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Its all the stickers, your car can go anywhere if you have enough stickers on it. It is a similar effect to having a Turbo sticker on the back, that one makes you go much faster.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
