thanks for all your input. as much as i love the series, i like having a car that does more than 60mph without making your ears pop. i would like it to look a bit more rugged, i have looked into it a bit. i can get decent mud tyres on the 16" alloys, i dont know if i will go as far as raising it...

Im sorry everyone who commented i made a few errors in my message, its better now. if i could get a disco or defender i would! but im only 17 and cant get insured on anything with a big engine :(.

yes i know its not a proper land rover, but what sort of things could i do to it to make my freelander a bit a bit more enjoyable. i just dont want mine to look like the school run car. any suggestions would be much appreciated. :)
