    Some lyrics from Aerosmith come to mind.... "I got good news, she's a real good liar Cuz her backstage boogie sets your pants on fire..." :p

    I also would like to point out that the guys who ran the original Camel Trophy events never complained about wheel/tire diameter.

    These are test courses that are made to be repeatable every time in exactly the same way and are designed to test and tune things like suspension, steering, throttle response, braking, shift points, etc. That they do double-duty as Land Rover experience centers for introductory off-road driving...

    Ain't gonna be any easier in the 2.7L EcoBoost on the Bronco. Direct injection is direct injection, doesn't matter what flavor of dinosaur juice is flowing through the veins. Both use high pressure fuel pumps. Just make sure you're keeping up with your maintenance, not mainlining pure...

    Mine takes literally no time at all. It's a diesel. ??

    That would be good...Hammond would have to be in the Bronco since he's a Mustang fan. Clarkson's got three Range Rovers including a Classic with an LS swap so he would have to get the 2016. May would get the 2020 because he would have to explain the tech and put everyone else asleep. The...

    O/T: You laugh but that's literally the reason I dumped my 2005 Subaru Outback XT at 90,000 miles. The flat-four had about 4 inches of clearance between the wheel well and the engine...couldn't even get a plug socket down there, never mind a socket extender. I called the dealer and they said...

    I saw this, but Dad bags it. Likely because the dealer told them if they ding it they buy it. I posted it but then deleted it because ultimately it's a lame video. Another recent video of a Touareg vs the Disco, the Touareg won. I think the Touareg was on coils. I want to see a head to head...

    Yeah, let's see them on the trail.

    In my experience it's almost as expensive as replacing them if they're dinged deeply and you want a factory-new look.

    There are posts in the engine compartment, same as the Discovery. The Disco's battery is in the cargo area on the side behind a removable panel.

    Lucky for you because I would have bought them.

    Ok, so they claim no cutting, no grinding, no "nothing", and they got 18" Compys on front and rear, with factory pads, rotors, calipers. Gotta be a catch but waiting for the deets.

    I've had three SOTA updates on my infotainment in my D5.

    Every automaker needs a volume model to sell at high margins to drive revenue, and they need that income to justify borrowing cash against new models. Had they never invested in the Evoque, they would never have been able to justify the value to Tata when Ford put them on the auction block, and...

    My local dealer is going gangbusters. 20+ orders in a two week period, plus pre-orders. I think they're sold out of allocations through October. Recall their planned production ramp up in Slovakia was delayed because of COVID.

    What happened was LR did some genetic engineering, and went from a medieval courser to a Viszla overnight. They didn't have the resources to gradually evolve it while they focused on the volume sellers. You can look at the Range Rover and no one would say the current one isn't true to and a...
