Trip to the Alps

Don't have any pictures but needless to say (wait for the jinx) the TDV8 was beautiful all the way down to Samoens in the Grand Massif region (SE of Geneve)

About 800 miles in total, the Range Rover draws looks from everyone, NO other 4WD gets the same street cred and admiration.

Wish I could get more pics of the Rangey and The Alps, but it stays underground in a car park or at the base of the Grand Massif Express Telecabine. Sad Discovery 4 HSE

Right,

Now I'm getting REALLY annoyed with this site. not only can I not upload a single Bl**dy photo to my forum albums, but now a frigging link from flickr or anywhere else doesn't work....

Is someone trying to tell me something? Censored Discovery 4 HSE

I can't view any of your flickr photos, it says i need to log in - could this be a cause of the issues?

Admittedly I've not tried uploading photos yet so I have all this joy to come...

Some pics (hopefully) of the trip and taking the car out.

The snow was so poor in areas I managed to get the car onto the side of the piste where last year there was a metre of snow.

Just got back from an Alps trip myself - as you say no other car would make that trip easier or more enjoyable! Awesome! Thumbs Up

Nearly 1600 miles for us as we stopped off with some friends in the dordogne on the way back.

No snow !?! - You had more than us!! We had literally NONE below 1800m! Sun was nice though!! Exclamation -----------------------------------------------
