Those are rather marvelous.
I was thinking the LR4 version, not sure what they're called in the UK but the one with the 5l Jag engine and the walnut and leather turned up to 11. I have a friend here with one of the original discos. Trigger's broom, very few original brum parts, spread liberally, as they have been over the years over the highways and byways of California.
I don't really care about corners on four wheels but I like the idea of carting my bikes up mountains, off-road, over rocks with a nonchalant waft of Anglo superiority over the local jeep owners.
Logically speaking, I should look for one of those Dodge Durango SRTs with the supercharged hemi and 7spd ZFlush box. Crushing, monster grunt but Aerosmith vs Vaughan Williams. Bit crass.
Damn...I was hoping SUV ride quality would be significantly plusher. Feature panzering around post apocalyptic, broken concrete of the LA cityscape on a tidal wave of creamy V8 torque, while being cosseted in an old libraries worth of Leather. All smoothly enough not to rattle the ice in my gin and tonic. Not sure I'm interested otherwise.
Hmm.
