Peckforton LR Experience

Post by Hilly30si » Thu Feb 23, 2017 12:31 pm

Did the Land Rover off road morning yesterday I wanted to do it before the D5 gets to the centres as they are dropping the D4 immediately. We had a great day in the Discovery 4 which arguably the most capable off roader out there. I took my daughter and son in law this time and while she as driven my D4 on the road nothing could have prepared her for what happened out on the course, her face was a picture as we went over then down a sheer drop onto a wooden tilting bridge, and all she had to do was steer, the brilliant electronics sorting the rest out. Great day in a fantastic car :thumbsup:

I did a 1hr experience in a Discovery 4 at Pecforton a couple of years ago as a birthday present. Had a great time and couldn't believe how good the Discovery 4 was. Amazingly capable and pretty much effortless off road, and then unbelievably smooth when I drove it back to the castle via normal roads.

Highly recommended to all petrolheads!

We did a three hour stint yesterday just unbelievable. In 2013 we did it in the Evoque but the D4 is just in another league :thumbsup:
