Dunno.. I used to Disco 3's in that same area ages before they were out too! But it was definately a Range Sport I saw. Smaller and much "rounder" than a Range Rover.

I'm sorry, but this is one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time.

Yep very nice ... I saw a brand new one couple of weeks back, passed me going down the motorway. Twas weird when I picked it up in my mirrors, at first I was thinking 'nice looking landie' then as it gardually got closer I started having doubts, didn't quite look like a Defender somehow, is it or not, if not what is it, then it sailed past me and I was very envious. Lovely looking truck. :)

Some history and pics of Santana. By the way, it was a new one I saw.

Personally I can't stand the Santana, It just doesn't look right to me. But I would love to see the Supercharged (400bhp) Range Sport just for the hell of it though. Sadly I'm sick of seeing all of these "soft roaders", the worst being the Cayenne, H2, Escalade and LX470.

Talking of soft roaders....
A customer of ors came in to collect his lawnmower, as I lifted it into the back of his Metro I said "good job its not an X5, the last customer came in one and we couldn't get his mower in"
His reply................
"Yep, I've got one too, thats why I bought the wifes Metro"
