Our mechanic said that what we did in one day in Bolivia needed more shock-absorbance than a Discovery does in a whole lifetime in the UK.

DINING WITH LIONS

Realising their error, the buffaloes bolted, one straight into the swamp followed by six lions.’

WE THOUGHT IT WAS A TRACK

G4 2006 competition director and recce leader Rikard Beckman explored the terrain in Bolivia: ‘As the track started to go up a mountainside, it didn’t do S-turns. It was obvious that was where they’d laid cable. In the end it was no problem for the Discovery, but it was scary how steep it went.’

DISCOVERY IS FOR LIFE


'My first car was a second-hand 1994 Discovery 200 Tdi. In 1998 I bought a new Discovery 300 TDi that I still drive with great satisfaction. Twenty years of Discovery! The family owns a Range Rover Sport. I am looking forward to the new Discovery, but one thing is certain, I will keep my 300 TDI for life.'
