Had to go yesterday to the Land Rover experience in Milton Keynes as part of work.

Drove all the various models on the road in the morning, then an afternoon of off road.

Really liked the Vogue on the road, but didnt like driving the sport Diesel Automatic. Off road was great, the cars are so good at that job, I dont get why people buy them for the school run. Several different terrain settings that adjust gearing, suspension and so on. Colour display which shows 2 pictures of the wheels. One shows how the diffs are working on each wheel, and the other tells you where the wheels are in relation to the ground. Point the beasts, and they do all the work themselves. Bit strange having it automaticaly brake when you are going down slopes.

If I ever win the lottery I want a v8 vogue lol.

When they were driving on the road in the Range Rover Sport to get to the off road track my Dad got told to slow down by the instructor He said they were amazing off road aswell.

There was various tales of reliability issues from other people there. As we all do work for them people get to take the cars home from time to time and they do seem to suffer from a few faults here and there.

Still amazed by the technology involved.

Too much technology. Keep it basic. Our old offroader
