That's interesting about the sand. Cant understand it. They run high profile tyres and are not as heavy as a D2. They have good clearance although i dont know what distance is under the diffs. They have adequate torque and power and reasonable gearing...
What lets them down in sand. The D2 is a similair weight etc and with CDL locked and 31 in tyres they are a sand tractor.
Certainly on narly off road bits the Rubicon is very good.

I'm glad I'm not paying for the track repairsQuote:

And I don't even know what a "latte" tastes like. Never tried one, and don't really know exactly what it is. Don't mind a decent cappuccino though. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...016/01/111.jpg

Just thought I'd show off the new t shirt as well. I suppose you'll be posting up a photo of yourself in your new shirt sometime soon - it should complement your leather pants nicely. ;)
I didnt order one mate:(:(:(:( They only listed 2XL as their biggest,wouldnt stretch around my guts like that lycra gear you bought me:D:D:D:D:D

After Brian's photo, it goes both ways.
This bloke drives a Deefer, and not one of those black 90 Tdci's beloved of the hipsters but an honest to goodness working 130. :o
He's partial to a piccolo latte and will only drink craft beer, prefers the art gallery to football and carried a bright orange Hermes purse as a wallet. (until lost about two weeks ago)
It's a broad church, this Land Rover ownership thingy. :D

Anyway Rick old mate I have always thought of you as a honourary Disco owner and now you have proven that you deserve to be given that esteemed award. ... ;)
There's been a few mentions of experienced vs unexperienced drivers in each and also the value of specific knowledge to get the best out of the D4. That's why they're both really fun and rewarding driving experiences in completely different ways. How could anyone choose?!!Quote:
