breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Land Rover themselves used Fronteras at the Skipton-based Land Rover Experience to get their punters used to the course before they'd be let loose in LR products. Adrian - senior instructor down there at the time but now based even further south at the Gaydon premises and last I heard, working in something called an o f f i c e :? - is a forum member although he doesn't post frequently. Who knows; maybe he'll come along and put up some of the photos showing Fronteras dragging stricken Freelanders out of the clarts? (Well they weren't about to risk getting a Disco dirty). Even the staff used to find that funny!

But no, Rich, if you want a GM 4x4 buy a Trooper, they have really comfy seats that support the lumbar region perfectly during these long waits for the RAC. :thumbs:

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Tea has just come out of my eye sockets, thanks.

It's one of those Banham Audi TT replicas isn't it? I don't eat meat but wouldn't want to go that far. Here's a piccie of a Banham from the front:

What a delightfully appropriate plate!

And they also do one that's based on the style of the Veyron, this should fool a good many folk, it's a ringer for it:

Banham Bat there, or is it the real Veyron, it's just so hard telling. :lol:

And one of these mingers like the one for sale in France, where I'm surprised it hasn't been tried, convicted of something and locked up out of harm's way:

Banham Superbug indeed? How so? Like MRSA? Aye, that fits. :x


Waste of a perfectly good Rover 111, 114, whatever, in every case!
