    I drive a XR6 Ute with ladders on the roof and 500kg or more in the back and it will still outhandle any "4wd" i have ever taken on...
    "4wd" does not include Porsche Cayenne and Lambo 4wd's...........

    nope the suspesion test track on base....

    handling is a figurative term... and he only said track...

    ok your still on I know just the track and I'll be nice its not the suspension track on base....

    motor cross tracks are race tracks too...

    and incase you get any ideas about specifying a specially constructed concrete or black top track I happen to know where there are a couple of mogal tracks done in concrete with black top on them for testing purposes....

    I still reckon the deefers going to get you so long as Im picking the tracks....

    tell you what you pick the track and I'll pick the race style and see how you go.

    I think Cameron may have been referring to a circuit, like Oran Park or similar...

    But, on a wet day, (and the Stig at the wheel) a supercharged V8 Range Rover Sport, may just do an XR6, on a greasy tired Oran Park....

    I dont think a current real 4wd diesel would do it, but then again, they're not for tarmac racing, haven't seen any XR6s cross the Simpson...

    yes I know what he was reffering to but I was being obtuse



    "I know what you ment but that wasnt what you said....." is something that comes to mind....


    I can be a bit of a bugger like that if i feel like being cantankerous...

    besides youd only have to get it close on one corner and pull a pit move.... and just think of all the shortcuts you can take over the ripple strips and traps with the 4x to get closer thats gotta count as better handling if you can straighten the cichanes that much more than the ford..

    we'll have to do it on the same day that we race the diesel and v8 counties.

    you might as well tow a mower on the back and cut the grass at the same time

    A RR sport is alot different to a Disco / Defender ... I would be scared with someone came with a Porka ... I would have to pay the 10k then

    hmm talking about cuttin ze grass time to hit the sack

    Just pulling the chain a bit there, Dave, we all know any Land Rover can run rings around anything else

    Now where's that Top Gear vid of the BMW X5 being done over by a Series 1?
