You were selected for previous talent or a random selection?

[ruuman]

I don't know if talent is the right word :)

All I did was fill out a form on the landrover website, as far as I know most people who filled it in got to go, there were tons of places.

Life is not fair, I enter every comp I can to try and win the chance to do that sort of thing but its wallys like you who always win...

[ruuman]

cheers mate, such kind words ;)

how does harpur expect to bring back throttle cables ?????? does he understand that ALL model diesels have electronicly controlled injection systems ??? all that throttle cables are as much use as tits on donkey to them ! lol

[ruuman]

I think harper's commenting on landrover's "unique" build and electrical component quality rather than returning to cable!!

[KooKas2oo8]

Well, when you consider that they hardly even had dashboards ... :P

well i'm going for Galway Green now, RR and Defender. Caledonian blue was a real classic, also think the red they ned should be the same as the solid used on the Disco early versions as it was bright, Alvaston is dull in the present LR range and too expensive on defender when solids keep budgets down. Bronze Green works well and would be a real bonus to see that back in the defender range, seen a 101 painted in that recently looked superb! Will get my green defender on youtube in the new year!

You need to contact LR Special Vehicles I suspect for anything none standard in the range. I also wish there was a solid blue, like Stratos or Caledonian Blue. The latter being my preferred blue. I did like Marine blue and Bronze Green on the series motors. And we need a red to complete the solid colour range.

Coniston is a real classic, Belize was a bit too castrol GTX for me, Lincoln green is a nice oldie that needs to come back! HRH Prince of wales has Balmoral green, although dealers seem unable to show me this as i wanted to get a special build in that colour

[DingleZilla]

Yes I agree, but only just. Neither are as good as Belize or Coniston Green.

the new green is better than Tonga, Galway?

Ditto mate. I've been able to drive my dad's in a field, but that's it. He says I can drive it when I've got my license tho!
