A Land-Rover owner would call that ''mildly damaged''

oh what the hell!! it's a friggin defender ...that test is as pointless as taking a ferrari on the camel trophy...im sure the rest of the landrover range can go through those cones without falling over...i mean the defender is supposed to be the most hardcore offroader out there, people who buy this car wont be looking for 'steering feel' or high levels of grip,it's the wrong sort of car, if they do... ..get an evo or impreza... and whoever did this test deserves a slap as well for hurting such a gr8 car.

The fact that they nearly roll over when you flick them either way is the fun part! I had a defender as my first car for a year.
Turn in...... wait for sills to touch the road...... start cornering and await limit of grip.

They are very good at what they are supposed to do that is, remain bulletproof and go anywhere. Ours has done that, and we havent managed to put ours on the roof yet!

Oh and you thought the defender was bad! Drive one of the first discoveries or the first range rover! :shock: :shock: :shock:
