Some years ago I was invited to the launch of the Range Rover Sport. The day involved various trials around the Gaydon Test Centre.
At first we were taken in convoy off road.
`We were then driven around a fast track at about 100-120 MPH by their test driver.
The car stank of petrol and at speed felt very unstable.
We were then supposed to drive ourselves around the track one party at a time. We were awaiting our turn when it was announced that the car whose turn was before ours had rolled and an ambulance was on its way, The test track was then closed.
The organisers then simply bussed us back to the car park without so much as an apology and that was that.
As a result I have never since even looked at another Range Rover/Land Rover product. I never will.
