The course I am doing at Eastnor was a present my wife bought me a couple of years ago as a **th birthday present . I had just been waiting for the right car to do it in . they have told me it will be either a standard petrol or a supercharger. When I get my voucher through I will go to another course, maybe the factory one .

I had my Landrover experience today and I would say that you must do the full day - you will leave disapointed if you only do the 1/2 day! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Very annoyed,

I thought the same. I was very impressed with the afternoon's driving. If I'd just done half a day, I would of not seen what the Sport could really do. Matt

I did the experience last week at Eastnor, Malvern.

I also upgraded to the full day. The pre lunch tootle round the forest could have been done in a 2 wheel drive Rav 4. That's all you get on the half day but with the whole day the afternoon gives a much better indication of the capabilities of the RRS.

I had deliberately waited until now to get the worst of the weather and nearly got snow as well.

A friend of mine who amongst other toys has Bowler also came along and even he was surprised how good the "postman pat van" was in the mucky, slidy, wet stuff. Even though we overheated the gearbox at one stage.

I've posted a few pictures, apologies for the quality of some they are video grabs rather than stills. 11 XFR

MDP, I have yet to book mine, was planning on Eastnor as I can;t get to Dunkeld till August and it will be too dry then. I want mud/snow/wet!

Might see how my calendar looks and see if I can book on the same day, would be good to have a familiar face. Should you HATE this idea let me know!

Are you doing the full day version for you and Mrs MDP? If so how much more is it? L319 D4 HSE
