I wouldn't call a Freelander an off roader.


But the ad men would have the great unwashed believe it is with all those
adverts showing it as a wild animal running about the African plains ;-)

Cheers.

The Land Rover people are only too well aware that their vehicles are bought
largley as a lifestyle symbol and not to use in anger as for true off road
work and that is the way they are marketed . There are exceptions to this
naturally. On a recent gas pipeline project I know about the Land Rover has
to be returned to the dealer for offroad tyres to be fitted which shows how
these vehicles are generally used.
