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.

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.

Nice to see the pullers are suitable for winter use, what with them being fitted with chains Rolling with laughter I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

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
