Have you been 'off-road' in your Range Rover Sport?

Running the same poll on DISCO3 to try and come up with some idea... though I'd stick it on here too.

Don't consider off-roading just the standard lake-plunging and rock-cliff descending. For example, if you've ever engaged TR to help you through slippy grass or a wet field, raised the suspension to clear an obstacle on the ground, waded to get you through the summer floods or relied on the brilliant 4wd system to keep you safe on an icy rural road then, in my books, you've been off road.

You can compare the results with DISCO3 and Freel2 too.

Cheers folk. "CY from DISCO3"

There is a problem with these polls - I'm a member of all 3 forums but don't want to vote on the other two as it would not be a true answer as any of the answers will influence the stats. You can only see the results if you vote! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

It really must be Friday S, why didn't I think about that!

Interesting how many voting D3 members have taken their cars offroad 95% of the 47 owners is a very high percentage. Must remember that if I am ever in the market for a 2nd hand D3! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
