Maidstone had a good 6" and the FL2 flew through while others were having major trouble. Even driving uphill was soooooo easy. Freelander 2 GS TD4, Santorini Black |

After spending the first part of today in a 38 ton Car park, sliding all round the countryside I finished work and jumped in the 90, ahh heaven a motor that can just cope. Got home and the wife wants shoppping, Ok chance to try her FL2 in the snow. Twist the silver knob and away we go, I have to say it felt really good, properly planted on the road, I put my foot down hard a few times and the difference in trottle resonse was noticable. It was a pleasant drive in the snow and the wife who hates snow driving also said she felt really confident driving it. Good job done Land Rover. |

Thank you for help I have tryed to translate "pigged" to Russian. There ensue something like "craped" Freelander II 2,2 TD SE Stornoway Grey Sorry for my wry English. I began to study it recently. I'll be thankful for your corrections of my mistakes |

Got fair bit of snow in Manchester, noticed how badly the cars cope with snow, not being able to drive straight up even in the smallest gradients or around bends and so on but then FL2 just drives 'almost' like any other dry day ...very impressed.

Wish I'd have got around to going to the Traf, instead went walking in the snow, and didn't try the freelie out 'til after it was closed. Hope we get more as promised, then I'll go there tomorrow. Hopefully do all the dreaded shopping in one hit! Did have alittle drive around Manchester and likewise was again impressed. Found what appeared to be an empty carpark to have a bit of a drive in, but then noticed kids sledging down a bank into it. How dare they Indus Silver GS TD4 Private Parts |

It has snowed today, I hope I said this right (or for better English you could say ''I hope I said this correctly'') Lar your gift of speaking our language is very good - our comments should never be read as a citicism |
