Aren't rugby fans more likely to slip anyway, what with the wearing of flip flops?Snowing not far from the Ricoh either, not sure how much there will be.
Roads were fine, few cheeky handbrakes to make the most on the slippier bits too

With all due respect HH (i.e. not wanting to get laid out)
imho whilst they probably were underrated, there's no way a Frontera would be as good off-road as a Land Rover product of any given era. I suspect either a difference in tyres or in driver ability/confidence, possibly both!I used to work at LR, so perhaps I'm biased, but I did a fair bit of off-road testing in them for work and I always found them pretty much unstoppable - I'd run out of bottle way before the car did.

Is there anybody on this board other than me who *hasn't* worked for JLR?!?

Yep, me. Done all sorts bit never worked for JLR. Seems to me that their pension may be slightly better than mine.
I obviously made some wrong life choices.

No pension for me, sadly, I was merely a temp/contractor at Rover, Jaguar, and then Jaguar Land Rover. Back in the day I thought everyone in Coventry worked for one of those, or if you were unskilled, Chrysler/Talbot/Peugeot.
I know people who worked at the same desk for four or possibly five different companies whilst at Jaguar/JLR, it's great to see them doing so well now.

It's a myth that everyone in Coventry worked in the car industry. People forget just how huge employers like GEC and Courtaulds were in the city.No pension for me, sadly, I was merely a temp/contractor at Rover, Jaguar, and then Jaguar Land Rover. Back in the day I thought everyone in Coventry worked for one of those, or if you were unskilled, Chrysler/Talbot/Peugeot.

Needs to go soonish now, just back from being out, fortunately my mate has a new Land Rover sporty thing so we were ok on the ring road many all over the shop!

Came back from town earlier, some roads were very slippy. Exit ramp from ring road turning right towards the butts is going to see a prang I suspect. ABS came into action for me even with M+S tyres and 4x4, and going very slowly.

I worked for Land Rover at Solihull and what became the Rover Group at Gaydon, but not Jaguar. Does that also count?

I once had a lift in a Land Rover and that WAS for works purposes, so in hindsight, I believe I did work for Jaguar and Land Rover.

Not just any tyres....
They need to diversify.
Not shifting much else .
Another retailer closing stores and making redundancies.

Can't you get Baker a job to stop this endless obsession some fans have that he might come back? There must be something he can do?

I guess he could direct traffic. Standing still shouting and arms outretched are requirements.

I hope you're not a Whitefriars tenant as they are notorious for not repairing leaking roofs and collapsing ceilings.
