Actually, saw it yesterday and took a few pics.....Agree with lads about the engine, it comes with the orig 4cyl as well, no idea what that's like though.
Will check the condition of both anyway.;)

Even my Freelander is not a SUV - it is an AWD or Softroader.
We must take every opportunity to stamp out Amercian speak whenever we can:)

Cheers, Mick.
I've only ever seen one GAME, in Katherine a few years back. He was a tourist (in the NT? in the Dry? in a Land Rover? who'd have thunk it?) and it had a diff lock and other bling. Very nice.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that the GAME also came standard with a Fairey Overdrive. Not a big difference, granted, but getting more and more desirable these days.

Unfortunately, all of our motoring organisations, the NRMA, the RACV, RACQ etc now recognise the Sports Utility Vehicle as a descrete market sector.
The sad fact is also that the Range Rover is considered the seminal SUV, which in the words of the television programme "Torque" created a whole new class of vehicle.
I'm sorry the Range Rover is in the SUV class for keeps. :(

I thought that Yellow 101 at the show up your way looked great, as you said, really stands out.Quote:

Simply another case of commercial organisations (I think the movers in this example were the motor industry associations - the motoring associations followed their lead) copying American advertising terminology in the hopes that the preponderance of this language on television will give them an advertising advantage.
Possibly it works, or they would stop doing it.

Ok, heres some pics
It has AVM hubs on the front? Is this just a mechanism to allow free wheeling hubs?

Hey matt
that is really nice,
looks great, not much a bit of degreaser won';t fix in the engine bay and a hub oil seal on the o/s rear wheel.
that brush bar is a mill one didn't know they came with the civvy ones.
yep the freewheeling hubs mean the whole front driveline doesn;t turn while the veh is going only the wheels,
good find
