I'm getting to be an old person ... I have no idea how that happened.

Our 2008 GTi is the "modern" car ... might not need another new car from here on out

First reviews of the 90 are out:

the J Auston Fabrications lifts are subframe lifts, not just lift rods, so they seem much more like the real deal. My question is: does anyone know what they cost? When a company doesn’t list prices on their website I assume it means that whatever they are selling is way too expensive.

If they were actually going to lift without rods, there is a lot more work to do than just adding spacers on the shock mounts - will need new arms, steering linkage extensions, and it will change the spring rate and other performance parameters. Likely not cheap.

In the past he had built drops for the whole third member and suspension assembly.

That's not how a subframe lift works. It takes all the suspension components and just moves them down. Your geometries and everything stay the same, their attachment points are just "extended" from the body, for lack of a better word.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Can't wait till I can get a base 90 in the states!!! I just hope that JLR will bring the P300 version here...

Well a little messy but a good example of why Blackberry SOTA has significant value. Hoping they clean this up in a few revs.

Keep in mind that video was only a small part of them trying to update the software. There are two previous videos..... And this guy is the biggest pro Land Rover guy on the planet.

any news or rumors about if the Defender will be getting a diesel in the US?

I work in I.T.

I really did not think I would need to also deal with wifi password and software updates in my car.
