First, it shows the Freelander driving on a slope. The Freelander has a very low heaviness point, which makes it ideal for driving sidewas on a slope without tipping over. Then the movie show the same maneuver with the Discovery 3 (first from the outside, then from the inside). When you're sitting in the car while driving such a slope, make sure you wear a diaper... very scary! The movie ends with the Defender driving down a hill (in first gear low). Pay attention to the distance the wheels move up and down (this is called the amount of wheel travel) while the bumps are driven (the vehicle is what is called cross-axled, because the axles are pushed in opposite direction): the Defender is the Land Rover with the best wheel-travel, also because it has solid axle suspension.
Wonderful, once a time, I had Freelander and I was loving that car (except head gasget failures, 1.8 petrol, year 2000).. So I sold it. Dreaming to buy Freelander II
