That thing is badass! ... It's obliviously not for hard core mods or trials, It's for trailering your already modified disco 1or2 to the trail!! Anybody got an idea on $$? More than a Rangie? |

I got referenced to this page from a BMW board, because of the 6-series quip, and it also had this on it: RANGE STORMER Another star of Detroit was Land Rover's remarkable Range Stormer concept. 'As a company we have never made a concept car before,' noted some bloke. 'But with a similar production model coming very soon, what better way to get people's hopes up than with something really cool that will make the showroom version look weak and disappointing� Oh bollocks'. Many observers noted that the three door Range Stormer had an obvious link back to the original Range Rover of 1970. In fact, the concept's influences are more unusual than that. 'The sides are a bit too high, the doors open at wonky angles and it's painted bright orange,' admitted a senior designer. 'I think we spent too long studying the Austin Allegro' The full link, with other amusing tidbits, is here: http://www.sniffpetrol.com/index.html |
