Well, it's finally happened :!:
A mainstream 4wd magazine with heaps of Land Rover content.

To wit:
:arrow: p 10 "Cayenne Crusher" - a story about the Range Rover Sport.
:arrow: p 20 "G4 challenge 2006" info
:arrow: p 30 "The Saviour?" - long article re the new Disco 3.
:arrow: p 146 "Short, but Gutsy" - review of long term test Defender 90.
:arrow: p 146 "My wife's great idea" - discusses spare wheel carriers for Defenders and wife wants another Landie style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
:arrow: p 158 Stronach editiorial "Groundhog Day" discusses intro of Disco 3.
:arrow: p 165 Widman editorial "Under Pressure" discusses spare tyres and features a LR Defender 110 as the main talking point.


and if that wasn't enough:
:arrow: p 42 "2004: The year in 4wds" - several LR items.
:arrow: p 56 part of the "Trials & Tribulatrions" article. A Rangie trayback.
:arrow: p 88 part of the "Mud Pack" article - another Rangie comp vehicle.
:arrow: p 148 "28 vehicles sign up for the Challenge" article on Outback challenge. The only pic - is a Rangie.
:arrow: p 174-5 "4WD Buyers Guide" - LR Defender, Freelander, Disco3, Rangie V8, Rangie TD6.

even some of the ads:
:arrow: p 5 Camera house ad. Of 3 pics, all are of the same Landie - looks like a Series 3 or 110 hardtop.
:arrow: p 47 Kaymar ad. Of 5 photos, one is of a Disco.
:arrow: p 105 Tray-On campers ad. Of 4 pics, 2 are Defenders.
:arrow: p 145 Open Sky ad. Of 5 pics, 3 are Defenders.
:arrow: p 147 AMV ad. Of 3 pics, 3 Landies (as you'd expect).

and possibly even a thing or two I've missed.

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif Important to note is that of these articles, many are quite complimentary in what they have to say about Land Rovers. Perhaps the tide is turning. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif



Definitely worth the cover price this month :!:

Some years back Overlander reported that after giving 4WD of the Year to Discovery two years in a row, Toyota complained and called them "Roverlander"
