I wonder how the suspension would cope with corrugations? I think that JLR should give me one to test. [emoji[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]

My humble SE D300 was in for its annual dealer check-up today. There was an Octa on the floor so I had a squizz. Its a lovely bit of kit. I was bowled over by the smell of leather upholstery when I opened the door. They declined my request for a test drive or a swap![bighmmm] It is hard to reconcile the luxury with the Dakar potential.

A clean bill of health for mine.Its off to the Snowy Mountains this Friday.

One hopes it hasn't got upset at your unfaithfulness at the dealers...
