Thread: The M1 in the rain..WTH- GC to Brisbane

Tombraider's right. You need to compare like with like when quoting weight figures. It's no sense quoting the tare of a D2 against the loaded weight of a D3.

And there's a reason that Stevo's V8 D3 can only take 18" rims and above - the brakes are too big! Add DSC into the equation and I'll bet the D3 is a better braking vehicle than it's predecessors.

Brakes are for shirtlifters Stevo - get a series truck and be a real man !!!! ROFL

My Series doesn't have functioning brakes until the fourth or fifth pump - I'd rather ermm "lift the shirt" than drive in rain at 110 km/h any day of the week.

I must qualify my post above by stating that I only read back as far as Tombraider's last post.

(In the true spirit of AULRO I neither read this entire thread before making comment, nor did I necessarily read any post with the intention of understanding what the poster was trying to say )

Oh, Dear. Another one out of the closet. Soon Land Rovers will have the same reputation as Toyota Celicas.

I didn't know Celicas had a reputation.

In the motor trade we used to say they were a "dressers" car. Window dressers, hairdressers, cross dressers.

Ok wasnt the worst day but here is an example for those that havent experienced what it is like, in all pictures the downpour was the same:

Concrete Section





Bitumen Section



One hell of a difference as you can see and that was only in a reasonable downpour,
