So here I am whiling away the hours whilst on a 12 hour shift, and I started researching some stuff I would like to do this year. An event I have always wanted to go to is the Landrover show at Billing Aquadrome.
So the question is has anyone ever taken an L322 around the off road course? 2003 V8 Vogue in Silver

John, took mine round last year, they have an easy and a hard route, the easy one you could do in a Fiesta... the hard one had quite a bit of water, it was well over the bonnet and up the windscreen in places (and that's with a higher offroad EAS setting and larger tyres) so I wouldn't recommend it for a standard one.... it's also a bit tight between trees in places for a fat thing like an FF so you have to know where the corners are....

It's not a very good course really, a bit boring... if you want to take it out for a play then come on this event we do every year, you can pick and choose what you do, it's got everything you could want and more and it's for charity...

Not sure of the date yet, the owners donate the site for the weekend but we should know soon....

Hi Pete

I am definitely up for your event, especially for such a good cause.

Noted about Billing thank you.

I used to do some competition off roading with a mate in a 90 all winched up, also took a standard(apart from tyres) P38 V8 around a few courses in Cornwall with a lot of success, that was a very capable motor, and you can pick them up real cheap these days.

Anyway looking forward to using the FF for what it was designed to do.

Be good to meet you, as for a P38, I wouldn't touch one at all... IMHO the worst product LR ever made...

But that's just my experience with them....  Pete

Well if the L322 is as capable off road as the P38 I will be a happy man. 2003 V8 Vogue in Silver

I gave been to billing for the last 20 years and love the show! The course is great for killing a couple of hours and you can buy a couple of photos of your ff going over some obstacles, there is only one course but are bypass's for those who don't want to try the potentially damaging parts like the mud run etc, defiantly worth a go around! 2010 defender utility
