Disco 3 up a mountain - Land Rovers Only

Well did you see it last night on 'Top Gear'?
Clarkson took the disco 3 up to the top of a mountain in Scotland completely off-road. It was fantastic. He had a winch fitted and off-road tyres especially for the occasion and although the new design looks like it was conceived using an old cereal box, a craft knife and sticky tape, it was just jaw droppingly awesome to watch.
A couple of times it grounded and couldn’t move, but with the winch attached to a land anchor, out it came and then onward and upward.
The final icing on the cake – Clarkson loved it, although I think Ford giving him one of the fastest road cars on earth may have had something to do that.

Yup, saw it & agree with all you say. The car looks awful, but wow, does it do the business in the mucky stuff!

Surely ford wouldn't GIVE him a GT40...... a long term road test perhaps?
