You know, the reliability thing doesn’t really seem to be such a widespread problem past 2007. Find a non-dealer LR shop and have a chat with them. The only trucks I see at the LR shop that does my routine maintenance are the older Discos, P38's, and your Doug DeMuro generation full-sized Rovers. Not to say there

My 2003 Disco SE7 leaked like a sieve. Fix one leak, another would pop up. Totally different experience with the RRS.

Sure, on cars 10 years or older, i’ll agree with you on that. My local shop doesn’t see many leaks on the newer stuff. Mainly just issues with plastic coolant hoses becoming brittle, issues with the older air compressors, and climate zone vents getting stuck. My driveway is sparkling clean.

This warms my cold, cold heart.

P38? Had to have been a P38.

I understand your skepticism. My first Land Rover was an unmitigated disaster.

151k miles on my Range Rover and it’s only been to the shop like 3 times.

I’m not speaking for the people who produced the film. I think you’d find that many people who have never experienced a NASCAR event would struggle to pinpoint exactly what it feels like to be there.

It was a really fun shoot. Mr. Soderbergh hired 6-7 camera crews and pretty much just unleashed them across the compound. We shot footage of the pre-race activities including the national anthem (I think there was a flyover), pit road action, and general fan shenanigans. We were almost rained out, but the sky opened

I was the film’s 2nd-unit data manager. We did a bunch of b-roll at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, where I got my first taste of NASCAR...culture.

Came here ready to trash whoever suggested an old Land Rover Discovery to that dear old man, and am leaving rather happy.

It’s like you can almost see the oil being directly returned to the earth.

I...I kind of need this.

I feel like my tuned twin-turbo 6-speed 335i on coilovers is the best M3 ever.

My first exposure to the Mahrindra brand was reading about it in a book about the worst cars in the planet.

After the P38, they were pretty solid. My dealer told me that they had one on the showroom floor that never ran after it was placed there. They had to push it out of the building one night under literal cover of darkness so no customers would see. I don’t think i’ve seen one on the road in months.

It looks like the love- child of a VW Eurovan and a Kia Sol.

I’ve owned two. One, a 2003 Discovery HSE, was an unmitigated disaster. All of the stereotypes came true.

Just ahead of the 5th generation Prelude. My God those things were a pile of balls.

I think there are a few of them still kicking around in Japan and New Zealand.
