What did you do with your Range Rover today

Spent the last hour under the Range Rover taking off the front prop off after the wife broke the uj. Guess what I'll be doing in the morning after a trip to Emmotts.
 
Just went for my first trip in the snow this morning with the Rangie...took it nice and easy, feeling out how she handles. Got a slight skitter on as I went round a 90degree right hand corner, but she held nicely. Then pi$$£d myself laughing as the RAV4 behind me did a full 180 spin on the same corner, cos the pillock was going too fast and thought he could keep up with me!!

Will people never learn to drive to their own...and the cars ability?

some people haven't got a bloody clue :rolleyes:
 
Went playing in the snow in North Yorks. Found some good roads that hadn't been cleared, with the BF Goodrich mud terrain tyres on my '92 classic the snow wasn't a problem. Came across some lads in a newish defender trying to get up a grass embankment from a car park onto the road, it wouldn't get up, showed them how it was done in a rangie!! :)
 
Took my p38 to Bulldog rangerover breakers in ipswich. Had a look around.... Great bunch of lads,very helpfull.... For service repaires and parts..... Sorted my eas fault and bought a few goodies too......

Recommend these guys....:director:

It was quite entertaining.

I actually bothered to take photos for once.

Bit of a hassle though, I was paranoid someone would nick my vehicle when I jumped out.

Roads quickly ran out though.

And these tyres might've got me slightly stuck.

Still got me out though.

They are capable in t'snow aren't they? I suspect if I had better tyres on she would've been unstoppable.

Yep, theyre deffo capable. Got a full set of Marshal Matrac road tyres on my girl, but even with them on she was handling the snow and ice like a true pro.
Had to laff at the X5s,XC40s and other so-called '4x4's that I just glided past.

Ahh...Landrover, The Best 4x4...BY FAR!!
 
Swapped my LPG vapouriser coolant hoses round and fixed my heater issue at last!!! Also managed to give her a good wash now the roads are finally getting back to normal :)

I'm currently sporting Kumho Road Venture APT and I think it is the last time I run a set. They are well behaved on sealed roads or dirt tracks but they quickly leave their comfort zone. The only thing that stops me getting stuck more is just the vast amounts of mechanical grip RRs have.

It is entertaining sailing past the London Offroaders though.
