Extreme discovery testing

Recently stumbled across this youtube video showing what looks like a disguised Disco 3 undergoing some extreme suspension testing that I thought to share here.

My apologies if this has already been posted Wink

That reminds me of why I bought a Disco.....I was doing some work with JLR and a team of us were taken out in one to show the levels of extreme handling and what they could do if in the 'wrong hands'

All shat ourselves !! What so impressed me was the punishment it could take without any trim rattles! Brilliant car!
Now own a brace of them....knowing swmbo was unlikely to break them! Very Happy

I reckon the car can take that with no issues, its the wheels that are going to get all the pain, especially the ditch crossing at 30mph!
