April 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Land Rover has presented the new generation Range Rover Sport at the New York Showroom. Even visually it is a separate model of the Range Rover family. Range Rover Sport is a more dynamic version of the classic Range Rover, but the actual generation differs a lot more from the model it was based on. The front spoiler was redesigned, the rear one is equipped with tail lights completely different from those of the new Range Rover. The sidelines are also different: they look more dynamic and modern on the new Range Rover Sport. The new Range Rover Sport has kept the … [Read more...]

Sorry, too wet and we were snowed in to post this during the correct month so it's a little late! This PoTM is reminiscent of the sort of weather we're enduring in the UK, with a little snow thrown in! Long term Evora owner Martin Townsend was out driving the Evora with his son Christian in Scotland when this huge puddle presented itself. With no other option, Christian jumped out of the car while Dad drove through the mini-lake at speed (a few times no doubt) until this terrific image was captured.
