turbos. They are worthless I use

this

I confessed it now if I do valet parking at the airport just take

this

no one will go with Nick this can't stop the wheels it's impossible um so that's the air I use it for that type of work as well as the farm and This is okay, we've used the gray one if we go, yeah, yeah, I don't really care for the gray, it's weird, isn't it right now? I don't have any emotional attachment today no, no, it's just a tool and that one is so expensive, yeah, well that's what made me think, wait a minute, my price will change to this, what am I really getting?

I couldn't and I just got a guild ability. It's ridiculous. I'm out, I just can. To do this, I mean, we've really been thinking that we have to sell the gray Range Rover, yeah, whatever you call it, 405 405. I'll buy it, I thought it was a Peugeot, we have to sell it and I'd like to buy Land Rovers if I can, yes, because it's weird, it's like British Airways, we know they're a bit worn out, but we still do business, don't we? It's true, I just got back from Johannesburg in British Seward and um, so I like to buy it, but think about it, what I don't want to find out is too much and you can't really put dogs in it and tour the farm and the pigs can't, so I've been looking at Defender even though I was pretty rude to the Defender when it first came out because I hate those little zippers on the boot yeah I think you hang your shopping bags on them yeah Curry and you just look and you go, they are very flimsy, yes, and I thought this. it's just horrible and all that fake protection, you know, for the underbody, which is just plastic, yeah, oh I hate it, but last night I speckled one in the configurator weirdly, yeah, I thought well, actually, it looks Pretty good, green with a white roof. 90.

Yes, Lisa doesn't want it, but she will like it when she arrives if you have a quadrant. Well, I see a little more about the defender. In fact, I was very surprised at how well it was conducted and I hate defenders in general. Oh I hate the first Defenders you can't put his shoulder there we have the wrong size meaning the shoulders that had a slight advantage there it is so I was never a fan of the Defenders and I wasn't a fan of them because they just I thought it was like that. a defender's prestige, yes, no one liked a color, yes, yes, and then, but then, when you start to think about it, you don't want a discovery, you don't want them because it's too much, yes, you don't want.

You can't hold on to that 405 forever because, well, those are the ones full of electricity, right? Yes, so every time it has to be a Defender, yes, yes, and I will probably grow to love it, yes, I probably would, yes, I think. we'll just move around the back because I just want to point out if you want to look at the back doors, there's nothing to see here no, no, there's no rush, nothing to see, well it's not for sale anyway so Don't worry, it's not, it's not. No, it still works, so this is the part I didn't like about the defender.

I didn't realize how much I liked this. This is critical, yeah, because look at his strength and if you look at your gray 405. that's a little pinky, cool, like piano wire or something, jump even I can jump up and down, I bet you both can sit in it, yes, yes, and that is the gene of the Ford Transit. It was the part where I had that

term

Defender and you have that really cool tailgate. Oh, he turned me around because the side-opening doors are annoying when doing the grain tip. What are you doing? The humidity test is just a table there and well, I.

I sat on it a lot, yeah, I'm going to go look at the cows, I don't know what I'm doing with the cows sitting and you think well, if I didn't have this, yeah, where would I sit? Well, yeah, and that's where, but I mean, would it be possible? Do you think changing the defender's backdoor to have a split? No, they don't, no, no, they come out with the blessed discovery of that stupid back door and you can. Even sitting down is useless, but someone is not beyond a metal worker's ingenuity to make a split folding tailgate, whether it's from a Range Rover, yeah, you know, or we just save them for mine.

I have to say I just put new struts on mine, look at that, oh wow yeah I'm jealous you can get under yours yeah but I've got this cover in mind and that was the best £15 I ever spent on that thing , I just swept it away. my dear wife went to pick up a bale of hay the other day, which is my worst thing about rugs, but yeah, they're good, I like them, oh no, you probably are, I mean, I'm not going to sell that, it's just the that we have, as you know, at least it's called basically, that's the problem and I just, but this is this green color, yes, the seat belts don't sound, yes, it's really comfortable and quiet.

I don't hit my head when I get on, yeah. which I do in almost every other car these days. I'm trying to keep my head down. Honestly, although I don't know, yeah, they're just perfect, they're absolutely perfect, but the other thing I always say is that they're like Remember those trains that used to cross Canada in America and they're seeing, oh yeah, this is exactly what it looks like. feel when you do it, but now everyone, oh, the glass is down, I know what you mean, yeah, because now. they're all as high up as everyone in a Ford, whatever they call those minivans that people buy nowadays and I literally have no interest in them, but they're all as high up as yes, but they don't have the glass area that they have. that height of the glass there and the rear glass so you know the size of the vehicle is very easy Blocking, in effect, you know the corners and it just relaxes you, I find it while driving, yeah, well that's very true when you look at it, it's very true, yes, because The windows are getting small, look how small the rear windows are and that new one works.

I remember a conversation with Dr. Durheimer, who was developing the Bentley Ben Taker behind the scenes before anyone saw it and the main thing he wanted to do was have the tallest one. maximum speed and he is going to reduce the height and reduce the glass since you don't have it to face the Range Rover he said no, it's not about maximum speed he knows what the maximum speed is I don't know, in fact, I don't know at all serious I was terribly terrified of you saying what engine it has because I mean I know it's a diesel yeah it's a V8 so it's definitely a V8 well I know it's got twin turbochargers because but I'm not paying attention to it attention.

Another thing, I was surprised to have the new Defender, this one is very very good and I'm much better than I expected and it tows well but it's a bit choppy and I thought well I'm not sure if I would live with it. that and I thought, I wonder what it's like to tow with one of these and I've never towed with this one, have you picked yours out? Yeah, instead of taking you to the pigs, no, no, I mean, I used to take it off all the time. because it's unsightly in the universe and you haven't exactly put WD-40 on it, but not because it's like that, I mean, I would say toes twice a week, yeah, it'll stop toes twice a week.

I guess you haven't. However, I told you something else in the view, but it's just a stability in the VMS, no problem, no, but no. I would say you know you put two of those shorts in there, yeah, that's quite a bit of weight. it's going down, yeah, you know, and then take it to Whitney, yeah, look at Mr. a lot, yeah, so I do it a lot with us too, yeah, we have pegs so they're permanent and they have to go somewhere part and whales to be slaughtered miles away, where is the other side of the M5?

Oh, that's the passport, they're whales, they're whales, so yeah, there's a Richard Hammond, all the Welsh will be here, um, you too, so you're sticking reviews, definitely, sometimes that'll be my daily driver, yeah , you know it doesn't really go very far, but neither do I. You know London is a great pleasure, we dress up but we don't really go more than 10 miles away. here always, yes, you are becoming that, that is what I am, but I have seen everything, so you have not been everywhere, you have done everything right and you have dropped a laser guided bomb from an F-15.

Yes that's fine. I did it all I definitely did it yeah it has a lot of catching up to do well it's still a revolving door the other day for the first time it's absolutely amazing it does this job you just push it so you just push and then you did The whole way is amazing and they just went around and fought them with moves, they just thought who is this fool who tried to get into this, yeah, yeah, yeah, but he knows me because I don't travel anywhere anymore, yeah, not really . I'm also never worried about breaking down because you're never too far away, it's easy to get home, it's not like it broke down in Scotland or somewhere else where it would be a play again, everywhere you shoot and stuff, you get there very far.

I know this because now I only accept invitations to shoot, that's opposed to a place where I can see, but no, then you're retired, it's happening, I'm not on time, well, it sounds like that, no, just no, not really, no, I mean, no, I went. Shooting in Scotland is unpleasant, but you fly there so yes, but I have no desire to sell it and I don't see the need to sell it because it runs on a pair of shoes and I have a watch and no. I won't buy anything unless the old thing is broken, I mean my iPhone, now the battery died in half a day, yeah, so you know I'm going to have to buy another one and that's okay, yeah, that's right, because something It went wrong and I will do it. replace it but I don't buy things that fit, new things if anything I'm from Yorkshire Yorkshire people don't know this my great great grandfather was a very rich man he once stood outside the window in Harrods and these pants all the way here in Methodist Yorkshire I could buy everything in that window, but I'm not going to, basically my whole life is like that, well, I buy anything, I never have to, so I don't have to, so I won't replace it. “That, but Lisa, yeah, so whatever, and that's why we are, because you think for a second it's just those things, but we would have to pay 115,000 to change from this Range Rover to that Range Rover somewhere out there and you." I'm just saying, wait a minute, I mean, I know they're very, very nice cars, but they're all 120,000 pound Bentleys, but there's no way we're going to put that on it and jump wires for tractors and no it's just no.

I'm going to do it because I remember my dad came back from town one time in 1970, I think it was, and he said he'd seen the greatest car of all time and he'd seen the site of the first Ranger and I remember him looking at something that was 2,200. Pounds, oh it's out of my reach, yeah, but I tried desperately with my dad to buy a Range Rover because we had a place in Wales, we had to keep track of it and it was like a bloody rally track and I said, let's get a Range. Rover and we had a Citroen Diane six, yes, it was a bit of a jump and it was too much, while I couldn't see the point of it, not exactly, and then it looked at 14 to the gallon, as it was, I thought.

I'm not doing that, no, well that's exactly the same thing my dad wouldn't have had, but I always wanted one when the opportunity presented itself. I thought it was perfect, yeah, and now I can't get out of it, but we were both lucky. and having this one because it was a Peak Range Rover type, yes, and everything after it is lovely but expensive and everything before it was quite normal, yes, I used to have, I had three classic rains that I used to buy ex police. which we called plod one and plod two and then we had the children, so I bought an elegant one and a civilian one that I saw that had it and went down to fins, but that is another story.

I did everything, but I went to 5.2 liters. Rover V8 built in Mallory Park revved at stupid, stupid revs, I didn't visit I was a team, yeah, oh, yeah, anyway, but they were committed, they were pretty small and this one when it came and I thought, oh my God, yeah, well, it came after the A London Taxi, one that was the disaster, but the first one was clever and slick and all that stuff, the second one was horrible and then this came a

long

and we both got in exactly and now look, yeah, and we've seen the future. and we're still at it and Mrs.

Queen was the same, she was never seen driving the 405, she was only seen driving one of these, yes, passenger in the Next Generation, yes, but not this one, this is the one that Mrs. Green knew, yes. so there we are if you know no, yeah, so I think we should end that, yeah, we'll carry on forever with our Range Rovers, yeah, and how we're both motoring journalists, we're both farmers, and we both ended up being 17 years old. original is exactly the same color how did that happen? I don't know, okay, just for show, right? Yes, there you have it, that's the end of this video.

I hope you enjoyed it a little. Immerse yourself a little in Range Rover and the world of cots, how we live with them, if you liked this video, keep watching it and subscribe, there will be more videos very soon.
