New D4 Shots, I have sat in one in the factory

Went on a factory tour this morning and got to see the new D4. The nice men on the line allowed us to sit in a Rimini Red one and took our picture.

Must admit it feels a bit more basic than the older D3 and to keep with Land Rovers new eco friendly policy the vehicle is actually 0 wheel drive, however there are two rope attachment points at the front. I presume that this is some type of job creation scheme where people on the dole can gain joyful employment working in gangs of 6 pulling the new Discovery 4 around the countryside.

I dont think so, I presume that one simply asks the left team to pull harder if one wants to go left...type thing

No not yet Chap. I am waiting to see what the 'puller' (new term used by LR to describe the gang of people that will pull the car) options are.

These are the first 6 'pullers' that we used on our drive around the factory. TBH it got a bit confusing as I struggled to keep my eyes on the road.

staying with Rimini Red then

Nice to see the pullers are suitable for winter use, what with them being fitted with chains

An associate of mine who drives one of the new Smart's is very concerned that the D4 will pose a hazrd to ther road users - especilly him in his new vehicle

PS: Andrew what is the kneeling girl in the middle doing behind that cushion which is making the one stood up smile like that?

Looks like they have developed the roof to the point where everything will drip inside even if no sunroof fitted

Progress

Apart from the 'orgy girls' pic, I like the new body coloured single spar 'A' frame.

I see they've even gone and body coloured the headlights ....

It doesn't need headlights... the front 'puller' holds a wind-up torch between his/her teeth. As you slide down the banister of life
