Are we supposed to be impressed?

But the question is can Driftke70's mate slip it down the hill and roll it as well as he did his other one?

:twisted:

He would have rolled it end on end several times on that track

And blamed the vehicle of course.

I hope the CDL was not engaged.

Dude! First praising the tojo 70 and now bagging the Fender!

Are you sure you're not a troll??

Looked to me that maybe they were trying to demonstrate wheel travel.

Well, the camera angle doe's a bloody good job at hiding the hump the right hand side wheels are having to go over, large enough to lift the left front wheel 8" off the ground, and the wheels are still driving, so the CDL is engaged. as the right rear wheel tries to climb the hump the front left has to climb another. no wonder it gets cross axled! also remember its new and unloaded, so the suspension will be stiff, and lastly, the sound is out of sync with the video by about 3-5 seconds.:eek:

ROFL

Either way that person should NEVER NEVER NEVER be allowed to grace the seat of a Land Rover Defender or any Land Rover for that matter ever again Dismal effort that my ten year old nephew drives better than that:angel:

I reckon you guys are being just a little harsh.

First up, if I'd just spent $xxx I think I might take it just a slowly, y'know, try not to destroy it on the first ride.

Looks a lot to me like he took it slow, CDL in and high range, then hit low range first after making a mess of it and spun the tyres.

Looks to me like a fair bit of cross up too, looks easy from the side angle, but from the drivers seat of the new pride and joy, well I'd be driving careful too.;)

Cheers
Simon

If they were, wheel travel is supposed to keep the wheels on the ground. I don't think LR will be using clip this for publicity purposes.

I don't have rose tinted specs and leave no stone unturned. For my usage I've ruled out the 70 and any new Ford Rover is not far behind.
