D3 on road ability

hi guys, went on a land rover experience, here in Durbs

Was amazed with the vehicle in comparison with the other brands that were there.
I am not one for going off road just yet, the basics on the vehicle were nice, I know how the vehicle operate moderatley well now.
Must say the D3 on road ability is what amazed me, Land Rover pulled the hat out the bag on this one.

Well Done, Landrover

Thud

Not to be ignorant, but why did you buy a LR? They are some of the most, if not the most capable vehicles off-road, and you have some of the best places in the word to go view, off the beaten track.

Hope you get into off-roading, as the rewards, is priceless. Thumbs Up Why is the fear of long words called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?

Totally agree, much as I like off-roading, my D3 spends 80% of its time on the tarmac and it never stops impressing me. Good choice and welcome Thumbs Up 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

You're fitting in nicely. Rolling with laughter

Heine was there. The Defender was 2 days old with 200k's on the clock. The only damage for the day was I lost my number plate. Thumbs Up Why is the fear of long words called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?

It is called the accelerated testing. You hammer the car for two days in the bush, which is equivalent to 200k on the road.... 8) Why is the fear of long words called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?
