Actual quote from article:

"The Freelander does off-road better than just about anything bar a military tank"

I'm not a hater... just quoting the article.

Perhaps Dan & Steve want to take that one up for discussion?

For goodness sakes, I just saw a Top Gear on YouTube a while back where they had to get a Defender to rescue it from two inches of muddy grass

Really? The new Freelander? Wasn't that the guy who couldn't drive?

(Not that I'm saying it can outwheel the Disco by any means)

I think that's 5th Gear...the boring one

I think it's pretty sweet.. the only thing I'm not a fan of is the molded front and rear bumpers.. mainly because there would be no real way to swap them out for anything worthy of real off-roading. Other than that, a good set of mud tires and maybe a two inch lift if possible and it would be a pretty sweet off road machine..
