Love you humour on commentary vehicle walk round Could listen all day Great channel guys

[@hedydd2]

Series1… string from spare wheel is to tie your jerry can upright. The holed angle iron at the tow hitch is a, wait for it……. a tow hitch or ‘drawbar’ for agricultural implements like chain harrows and rollers, zigzag harrow and/or seeder, or even a trailed plough. Implements without wheels were often attached to the drawbar using a U shackle with a drawbar pin and Lynch-pin or bolt and nut through the holes rather than a pin threaded into the shackle. Some ‘wide' implements needed to be offset for various reasons, hence the various choice of hole across the width.

Best channel for Land Rover content , Simon you have a way about you that is just so compelling to watch and listen too , honestly I love your videos with all your whossh and shhhhhhhh and various other noises 🤣🤣🤣, and all completely natural. Ps I haven’t forgotten I must bring my 22 year old 236k Mile L322 to you so we can chat about 22 years of daily use and ownership 👍🏻

[@rayclarke3849]

Lovely video Simon. I’ve learnt so much more from the video than being there, thanks for making the subject come alive.

[@farmer6861]

Thanks for taking us along with you - glad the weather was nice and dry! Love the P38 but my father bought an Epsom Green 2.5 DSE one new from Ottons, Old Sarum, Salisbury - it struggled keeping speed uphill if you took your foot off the accelerator for any reason and it had electrical gremlins! I’d have one in a heartbeat

[@markriley2733]

Stig looking incredible, that’s a nice green

[@chrishill5166]

Brilliant Simon.

[@mikeclark4416]

WOW ! I didnt think it would look right ? ,But Yes STIG Looks Great

[@fenflyer]

That's handsome P38 in Wimbledon green 😎 Should have wrapped your L663 in Wimbledon green 🤠

[@omeguchioma8018]

Thank you simon

[@davidkendall2992]

13.19. I'm sure the blue P38 in the background M535 CVC was one of the original launch Press cars which us motoring journalists got to drive along with other engine and trim variants at Clivedon

[@ianbeale2527]

Have to say, The Stig looks fantastic in that green wrap.

[@L663]

It took a bit of getting used to... but it turned out really well !

[@rogertrett406]

Like the green wrap. Big improvement on white.

[@shornsparks20005]

Another great video from you and I loved the bit with the Snail I always do the same well done

[@L663]

Not sure the lettuce growers would be so keen on a snail... but the guy was doing no harm in that location.

[@simono4991]

Great video. Loved the CSK and the snail. I presume you meant to put the “end” bit at the end though? 😂

[@leflemmy]

BRILLIANT to have met you and THANK YOU for being so complimentary about my car! Total surprise,I had no idea she'd featured in your vid until just now. Keep doing the good work. 👍

[@L663]

Which is your car ?

[@leflemmy]

@@L663 silver facelift Freelander 1 with the tricky wheels and roof rack and ammo box. 😁 My first of these shows, same for my sister, and only 8month into Land Rover ownership and I'm bitten by the bug. In no small part to people such as yourself being so welcoming.

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Excellent video Simon 👍👍👍👏👏👏😎

[@L663]

Thanks Jimmy

[@trimley]

Great video - even for a Velar owner!

[@project-overland]

Please please do a video on the fitting for an oem dog guard to a disco sport.. ❤

[@rafflesnh]

Thanks for doing the video overview, gents. Was hoping to get along there myself but just couldn't make it. Congrats George on the P38. Bit of a step change from the Jimny, I'll bet! Not so sure about the colour coordinated Tuscan blue wheels @24:24, though. But actually quite like the Olive Green wrap for The Stig! 👍

[@L663]

I dont think the wheels on the 50th are original - the owner told me he purchased the car and it had 22 inch wheels but the ride was terrible !

[@freetimeonline]

Great video and good to meet you both, thanks for visiting the Freelander Owners Club stand and sorry for walking into shot 😂

[@L663]

We need to do more Freelander stuff...

[@freetimeonline]

@@L663 definitely, there’s a market for it.

[@andrewfitzmaurice7843]

The CSK has always been my favourite Range Rover, right from its launch and it would definitely be a lottery win purchase for me. I do like George’s P38, especially having just purchased a 2002 P38 Vogue SE in black. I need to have a look on your site for new badges, as they’ve been removed from the bonnet, just need to find out what the original colour was. Another great video!

[@johnwillett4086]

Hi Simon, it was great to meet you at Gaydon on Saturday - and what a beautiful day (much better than the last time I was there). The Stig looks great in green (better in the flesh than on the video) and I do like the Raptor painted bits - well done - very nice 👍 I do think that the green Stig looks better than the LAnd Rover special edition ones - a great choice. I almost missed you at the show as I was looking for a white Stig. 🤣 I do hope George is on a good salary - I dread what the fuel costs will be for his Range Rover - but it looks great and I'm sure he is enjoying it immensly. And, like you, I do hope we can pursuade Christian and Vera to come over for the show next year. 👍

[@JP-446]

8:10 I Like It!

[@timoliver8940]

Just had the recovery eyes on my 11 month old Defender 90 replaced under warranty. I never had corrosion on my 2020 Defender’s eyes despite a lot more use recovering other vehicles than the 90 has had. I reckon LR bean counters have cut back on the quality and thickness of the factory applied coating. I’ve put 4 hand applied coats of BuzzWeld no prep wax to the new ones……… also the dealer broke both the recovery eye surround fill ins so have purchased new ones from you. That SV L405 Ginger IIRC is coloured in Madagascar Orange

[@brucelumsden94]

Series one, rear end with holes, was an agricultural tow bar, variable.

[@pradolover]

Lots of moderm transverse 6 bangers including variants of the Ford Lion (TDV6).

[@L663]

Pretty much !

[@SashaGrace94]

I was parked on the row ahead of your 110 with the CVC club with my Sport, I didn’t get to say Hi as every time I saw you you were surrounded by people. Hope you had a good show!

[@L663]

Hi - we had a great show with my wife and son too ! Our Range Rover Sport 2005 is a think a CVC car ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWXHqZKkrseYj6s Although not CVC it seems to be an old press car ?

[@SashaGrace94]

@@L663the VX prefix is a potential clue, if you haven’t got the service book you can still do a V888 request with the DVLA to get info that’s not personal info (that’s what I did for mine). Either way it’s a super early one on an 05 and a lovely colour! I need to order some bits from you so I’d better get on with that :)

[@stevejudge4068]

You so rock

[@WizzardPrang]

Great colour choice for the Stig. You could have ended the video with a final shot of the Stig and said "It's a wrap". (I'll get my coat).

[@L663]

That would indeed have been a good finish !

[@hedydd2]

Bonnet mounted spare wheel makes opening the bonnet rather testing. Also later models has ‘heavy duty’ bonnets with much more stiffening and the capability to support the much heavier 7.50/16 Dunlop cross plies [that lasted 5000 miles and were hopeless]

[@johnrussell7158]

Great video guy's, I heard years ago that the CSK came about after a large order of 2 door Range Rovers was cancelled by the police motorway division 🤔 loved had, have LR for 40 + years😁

[@L663]

Interesting... may be true.

@@L663 nope they are an in-line 6 hence the i6 badge on the back, one of my co workers has one, rare beast in the UK, the Freelander 1 had a transverse V6 though

[@richardfletcher2971]

Great video as always. I'm sure that there was an in-line 6 petrol option for the Freelander 2. That would be transverse?

Correct - that was a V6 mounted sideways !

[@HQBProductions]

Hello Simon! It is good to see you again only I have been away and then distracted with some news after two friends have passed on in the last two weeks. I’m miles out with videos.🫢🫢 I’m checking with my friend Adam to see if you might have seen his P38 Holland and Holland which he owned for several years and sold about 18 months ago. His had everything including the gun box but when sold, the new owner didn’t want the box so it went on EBay which was a shame. I only saw it on a private plate but it was an X registered car…I’m just wondering if it was George’s car??? Lots of rare land Rovers to see and at last owners who don’t read all the on line anger and rubbish. I’m 1200 miles n on the P400e and all is going well now I have understood when and how to use the PHEV mode…and charge up at home but using SAVE means it drives as an EV for low speed work and for extra performance yet leaves electricity for town work by choice. After 450 petrol miles and helped by the regeneration (free) power, I still had 88% battery left and yet 15% of the miles were all electric. That way the idea works! I like the new Green Stig! It suits it really well and much better than plain white. It would be interesting to do a video on SVO Palette colours…I am constantly being asked about my Petrolix Blue which really glows in sunlight yet looks fairly normal in dull light…it attracts attention at good times and so far, no unwelcome comments! Mudflaps on 2019-22 L494. I have a set from Storm Accessories from Northern Ireland which are described as fitting 2014-22 cars which includes the later ones. I have yet to fit them but a trial offering and they look like they do. They are “no drill” flaps and the rear ones do fit the arch liner holes but I’m still wondering about the fronts…I think they DO need two holes, not three as they use the bottom bolt for one but I have two trim clips and I think they are for drilling…I have not had time to do it yet but will report back if they really work…the contours do fit though! 🤔😬🙂 I will send Destiny pictures etc if and how they fit! I wish I had been able to meet you at the Show but we were in Cornwall again in the sun!!…yes really! Simon thank you…I’m catching up but it has been a strange week…losing old friends is never easy but keeps happening recently and we have few left now…so keep posting the films to help us doddery old souls out…we try not to be doddery though!! 😬🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼😀😀😀😀😀Richard.

[@L663]

Georges car is not a Holland and Holland - his is the 30th Anniversary model ! Glad you like the new look stig. Its so cool that you stay up to date with tech and KZbin etc... its so easy to just stick to what you know as you get older... you have a new house / new car etc Keep you mind and body active and you will be fine ! All the best to you and H Simon

[@HQBProductions]

@@L663 Simon…thank you for your kind words..yes we do try to be younger and more alive than many people are…a lot is what you see, read, do…and as you say, doing things keeps you younger thinking. Hilary is mad on interior design and has a Masters Degree in paint colours…I do a lot of decorating! I like so many different video presenters so SCHMEE keeps me fluent in Ferrari, Raz Rehan sharpens me up on Mercedes, Joe Achillies brings me BMW and Harry Metcalfe takes us farming for car enthusiasts. Your videos always entertain and inspire with your presentation and friendship to all of your followers. I can’t buy many things because they are for other models but what you find and try is a helpful inspiration! Simon…thank you again…the L494 might not be the car to “ see you out now” as some friends have said..I hope not…just get the numbers right and a Pagani, Ferrarii Roma, GT3RS Weissach, Miura P400, 365 GTB Daytona etc etc will all be here..I can die later..hopefully a lot later! 😬😃😃😃😃Richard. Next job…those mudflaps…to drill or not to drill???….not if can help it!!😬😬🫢🫢😩😀
