Land Rover

At the middle of my offroading heart are Land Rovers - those are what started me off. Here is a well deserved tribute to the best 4x4xFAR...

Military demonstration about the capabilities of the Defender line-up:



Top Gear clip about the history of the Landy:



A Derbyshire based company modifies Land Rover D90s, and now Range Rovers for the Dakar rally. These are called Bowlers. Enjoy it's a spiritual experience. (For interest, a brand new stock Landy D90 can cost £25,000, so does £50,000 sound so bad now?)



And a promotional video of the LR Discovery, about its heritage:



A brief history of the Land Rover Camel Trophy offroad event:



The new version of the Camel Trophy, the G4 Challenge:

Amphibious car

Sweet - I want one! Would be fun scaring people by driving into the sea :)

Fiat Panda = 4x4????

I was shocked - just discovered this on Youtube... The Fiat Panda 4x4 doesn't seem to be bad offroad. Interesting.

Fifth Gear TV excerpt versus the big Rangie:



Just a clip of it offroading:



And finally a clip of the old Panda 4x4, as mentioned in the 1st video:

Bugatti Veyron

Very nice! "Getting close to the maximum [speed], which means that the tyres will only last 15 minutes - but that's ok, because the fuel will run out in 12."

Jeep Trailhawk

Just watched an animation from Jeep advertising the Trailhawk concept... I like (apart from the huge fock-off Jeep logo on the back)!



I just want to see it offroad. Properly offroad.
