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.

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