2014 Freelander 2 TD4_e Dynamic Manual Fuji White

Sadly our family farm has taken a hit this year the previous year was not the best either in all honesty. In between working a full time office job I have been spending a lot of time on the farm. The bar will offer some protection from livestock and the spot lights once fitted on the bar are handy once I'm out at night checking everything is secure. I just really hope things pick up we've had the farm for nearly 71 years and it's done well for us up until recently. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

It's a well documented fact that Scotland is overun with Kangaroos, they are rare breed that love IRN-BRU and White Fl2s. So you can see Nuts problem here, he's vulnerable and prone to attack. The problem is so bad I sold my White Fl2 and went with a White Evoque as they ain't keen on them. We are desperately seeking help from the SNP as Westminster have washed their hands of the problem. Until then owners of White Fl2s have to do whatever they can to keep themselves safe. With the decline of the Fl2 model God only knows what the mutated Disco Sport will do to them. I just hope and pray us Blue D4 owners won't be next.

Some say it was a group of them chasing a White Fl2 HSE LUX that caused damage to the Forth Road Bridge.

I think we should have a new society, the 'Royal' could be omitted: The Royal Society for the Protection of Freelander 2s or RSPF2s for short!

Sydney shopping centre car parks especially on the Northern Beaches are full of D4s. Tackling the extreme terrane, speed bumps, wise owners have bull bars to fend off feral shopping trolleys.

There are increasing numbers of injured trolleys with a dodgy wheel and when they have a eaten a full load of groceries they are out of control. Full body armour is the go, bull bar and bike rack with bikes to protect your rear! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I believe that there is a pack/herd or whatever of Wallabies in Derbyshire which were released from a zoo at the beginning of WW2 and have survived quite well. Evidently the police get a call occasionally stating with "you are not going to believe this and I haven't been drinking but I think I just ran over a Kangaroo.....) 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
