It been canncelled ........................

Only Joking

All of you FL2 driver who are going have a good time and be carefull you wouldn't want to scratch it.


Don't forget to bring any DVD with you that you wish to watch through the back windows of Carlfraz car when you pushing him out and if it cold ask him to switch on the rear window heater.

Actually if anybody has the Land Rover Experiance Off Road Driving tips DVD take it with you and he can watch it beforehand and not get stuck.

I know that me and Carlfraz are lined up to go, there is a thread over on Disco3 with 'final joining instructions' for anyone else who is going ...

Will have camera with me so hope to have some 'incriminating' pix of Carlfraz to share in the gallery ...

You'll have a hoot, I threw caution to the wind in a quarry on Monday, & rather than wait 20 minutes for my kit to be
carried to the top by a fleet of hired hilux pickups,
i put on Richard Hawley's new album, picked out "mud ruts" on the terrain response
put it in 1st & shot up the 60m slippy hillside, effortlessly.
not gaining nearly as much respect as at the end of our day when i brought 3 passengers & all of my stuff back down without touching the pedals.
( to be fair i'd been " bloodied" at the landrover course at Dunkeld in previous discos)
but this was the first real offroad driving ( apart from forestry/ farm tracks).
& even though ground clearance is limited, "hill descent" lets you stear round the deep holes easily.
And the anti-stall mech' in the manual REALLY works. I'm enjoying this car more & more
especially the 90 mph drive home after the 50 degree ascent/descent ( to get home to dry off/warm up)
Look forward to seeing your pictures, wish i was going too, but have to work to pay for toys.

Yeh yeh bring it on guys take the Pi55.... should be a good laugh, just wish that a few more of you could make it, more hands the better to push me out of the deep ruts!!!

My side pipes are the same level as the exhaust 220mm from floor so decided to leave them on and protect as much as possible

DVD's most welcome to be watched, but bring your own popcorn, and NO CHOCOLATE on my cream leather seats!!! Mrs Fraz is allowed, buts thats under different circumstamces

See you there avtur and qx

Wish you the best for tomorrow guys. I would definitely like to join you if I lived a bit closer. Anxiously waiting for your news, take care of you and your FL2's and especially take care of the company's old man (everyone knows who that is, right?)

Cheers Def and GS69 (your best wishes from the van thread acknowledged here), FL2's first priority of care with the 'company's old man' a close second..

Have fun lads, and any lassies, would loved to have tried it out but the other half is doing the great north run tomorrow and I'm lending support.

I'll be there next time. (and after my LRE half day so I'm not a complete newbie )

... ooops ....

Hi avtur, tell us more mate, how did she behave? Coped well with all terains? Did she follow the D3's everywhere? Did you all manage to drive around or couldn't 'cause you were holding your bellies from laughing (and we know who's responsible).

Coped brilliantly well. Couldn't quite follow the D3's everywhere, thats where ground clearance comes into play. Only a problem on deeply rutted tracks. In terms of uphill, downhill performance and axle twisting terrain WOW ... performance on 3 and even 2 wheels most impressive. Got a sniff of burning clutch just a couple of times ... which of course was not an issue for Carl ... thats where the auto really comes into its own ...

Sorry haven't got to uploading pictures to the gallery yet, hope to later on ....

Wait for Carl to post, you know he has a way with words

Good on you Avtur - I remember my first experience off roading when at the LR experience centre the instructors said that the original Freelander was a very very capable offroader, seems like the FL2 follows the tradition. RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver, Alpaca, Privicy Glass, Sun roof, PTI, Tasmod's sills, DVD for the offspring, Sex on wheels! RRSPORT.CO.UK sticker on back window! S/C grill & Vents, Front & Rear Lamp Guards, Driving lamps and mud in places you wouldn't believe!
D3 for the wife - No extras! (she has to earn them!)

I like Boobies!!!!

Even more capable than the FL1 give it a 3" lift and move the air intake and it would show the D3 a thing or to i recon

Add a low box too, then it might. The D3 has a weight problem, and to a lesser degree a power problem, but the Fl2 has a long way to go to catch it. But at the end of the day Fl2 will do what 90% will ever want to do. It is a real LR D4 HSE Lux for me
FL2 HSE Zermatt & Alpacca for the wife now gone
Skoda Yeti L&K for the wife.

RPJ had a 'wait' not 'weight' problem, didn't you old son 'Waitin' to be pulled free!!!

Pics will be posted hopefully in next couple of days.......without reg numbers as requested

Honestly, RPJ must have felt like a star!!!! apart from the bank the car was hanging off he also had a bank of photographers clicking and giggling!!!

Sorry Chum
