2008 LR2 TD4 HSE Auto Baltic Blue
Fun in the snow

Live just south of Vancouver, BC - We've had some big snowstorms up in the pacific northwest which equals much fun for me. Fitted my LR2 with some Pirelli Snow and Ice tires from Tire-Rack.com and it's been the best thing since. Near where I live, got some 25-30% grade hills and I took it up em. One time it actually got stuck in the foot of snow/ice and so I backed down, turned off DSC and drove that sucker up the hill and it got up there with no problem. The feeling you get passing other cars stuck on the side of the road is almost indescribable

Gonna be taking it to whister and other ski resorts around here - can't wait Very Happy

Canada 2008 LR2 i6 SE Auto Baltic Blue

I stopped going to blackcomb/whistler (too many boarders, wannabe's, hummers...)except for maybe once a year. I do Mt Washington as many weekends as I can (night skiing), as well as the Vancouver locals like Cypress, Seymour, Grouse...Of them all I prefer Cypress...
I should of bought into Sun peaks, Its really developed alot...but b/w kamloops or kelowna I prefer sun peaks.

THis is how we roll on Vancouver Island.



..And...how we cook breakfast...

United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Santorini Black

Its the tank from an air compressor, weighs a tonne Evil or Very Mad . Its cooked tonnes of food at parties and village functions, just a shame it needs three people to lift it onto the rear of my pickup. I quite often use the forklift truck Laughing
But the replacement compressor broke down and has been replaced so I now have a more modern lighter tank to chop in two Thumbs Up At work
