That is a great watch. What ever happened to "as slow as possible, as fast as necessary"?
Interesting commentary regarding LR investing 250 million to increase production to keep up with demand. I bet they wish they had that problem now.

It popped up in my suggested videos the other day, great to watch and great to be reminded of the original Top Gear with Barry Gill and Angela Rippon Very Happy OOM 568R is actually sorned at the moment, I wonder who has it tucked away? Cheers Ian

United Kingdom 2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black
Very Entertaining. Nearly as silly as some of the stuff they get up to these days. The SIII looked dated against it's pears even then to my eyes, I guess it was only a year or 2 before it was replaced with the 90. Didn't hamper its performance at all though. All the cars seemed to have super soft suspension compared with today which looked to be a real boon off road. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS
