another duff test from 5th gear

Ahh. the 'Classic' Range Rover, a 'L' plate Vogue LSE, but pre-'soft-dash'
--- End quote ---
Oh yes indeed, I'd even put up with slaughtermatic for a nice LSE, but not an oil burner, one has standards after all.
Donald the Disco:
Once again 5th Gear shows its self to be a complete waste of space
on TV.
Tif Needell, what a twonk !! spinning the wheels like that to pull away
surely, pulling away slowly and then speeding up would have given the "traction control" some sort of helping hand....
Granted ......slick road tyres are not the best thing to use on a soaking wet field...........Why did they even try it ??
And as for the down hill bit.........
"feet of everything and hands free"............I was always told to hold onto
steering wheel to correct any possible slide............oh well !!
I'll hand over the soap box to the next person
muddyweb:
OK... far be it from me to disagree with the consensus ;-) but bear in mind that this is a television programme. The item is designed to be gimmicky, to provide entertainment and to get people talking about the show (seems to have worked)... It isn't supposed to be a proper test of the vehicle.
I wonder if there would have been this much outcry if the piece was run the same way but with a Pajero instead ?
JeepCher53:
Is there an email address to respond to this? Ask them to take an off road course before they make themselves look even more stupid than they are :evil: There's plenty of experience in this club to do that. Before hubby (Tazman) took the then Shogun off road, he booked himself on a course in the Forest of Dean for a whole day. You wouldn't get in an artic and drive off - 4x4s are NOT the same as a Ford Focus :shock: Plus, yet again, it paints us all with that familiar brush :(
Dave:
Well i think it did well every other car tiff drives breaks. Nice classic in the competition my name's on that one for the next wicked whaddon trip.
