| holgate's D4 on ballet slippers? |
|
What rims/tyres on captain Mo***'s D4's use in the most recent excursion/ Any one out there aware?
or no D4's?
All for a good purpose and some publicity we must assume: "The Expedition will visit the following 12 countries: South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya". http://www.landrover.com/za/en/lr/about-la...y-holgate/
VERY temted still to do the D4 thing; myself not doing the Deonthing, yet; "None of Nature's landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild"

I can only imagine how great it will be to drive a new (rented) D4 into Africa and have the peace of mind that you (most probably) have an entire team behind you to attend to any failure that may occur.  Erstwhile - D3 S '07. Dual battery system. Upgraded tow hitch. Mantec skid plate. Frontrunner rr. Tmax double headed built in compressor

Heard today that some problems were experienced with the ballet slippers?
Kingley's group was apparently featured on RPM and comment was made that they only have 2 spare tyres left. From pics in Leasure Wheels it seems as if the convoy of 3 D4s were carrying 6 spares in total. Did anyone else watch RPM?
A sales manager a LR admitted that a number of prospective D4 buyers have commented on the non-suitability of the 19" wheel configuration for off road driving.
