[robint]

[freelander2002]

lol I think my freelander is great (well it is my first 4x4) but vids like that dont do any favours for the jokes us owners get on here......cue the jokes

 

[barmatt]

I really try not to take the **** out of fl owners (shouldn't mock the afflicted an' all that) but you're not helping your case letting us see that. :hysterically_laughi

 

[freelander2002]

i know but even i think its funny and I own one lmao

The FL is grounded, watch as it is towed.

Tyres probably scrubbed to hell.

I recon it would get stuck on a dog turd.

How about a slightly larger dog turd

ffs NI keep up, gaylanderers have been posting these vids for weeks and no matter how many times you post 'em I'd still rather be in my disco / rrc than your motor in the snow / mud and deep down you know our tractors are more capable anyday.

By the same token, the disco is 750kg heavier than FL, at least the FL put up a fight, the shame of being towed by a RAV4

Bollox, In mud yes, but I've drove quite a few 90's and 110's for work and leisure. Give me a lightweight series LR any time

In ice and snow a FL has the edge over your disco on weight alone, light and nimble (commercials are even better..less weight) plus a FL handles going round corners.................Tractors roll > 20mph. Lets see you drifting in a tractor?



There's no TC, HDC, ABS, on my FL, they're not needed, it's all down to the right tyres and driving style

They are only a woman's cars if you drive like a woman

 

[Northern Irelander]

what type of tyres fitted............

Agreed, tyres are everything, whilst all the vids are funny they tell nothing about the tyres/condition.

You dont even need 4wd (but it helps) 2wd racing quads , even 1wd is superb in snow, being ex moto-X

 

[barmatt]

Just out of interest, how much does an FL1 weigh?

1650ish depending on spec.
