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?) |

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 ...

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!

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
