The Discovery I had for a while had the traction control - it really was awesome - got places it had no right to go on it's crap standard road tyres!!!
A Defender with the right tyres AND traction control would be pretty much unstoppable.

That looks dead good mate. Reminds me of the time I went Skiing and ended up as a snowball hurtling down an Italian mountain side  .
It's good luck to say "break a leg" in this contry....I nearly broke two that day.

ive got family from canada and one lived up your way for a long time and they just can,t see what we have the problem with. they just get on with day to day stuff with out a 4x4 in very deep snow and ice
saying that not one gritter has been down my road in the last ten years
so you can under stand why we have so much problems
its fun for a day or so but much more we would grind to a big stop

Hmmmm had fun on Tuesday hauling 44t of artic around our yard at Ashford. Not very good when you have an auto Volvo FH, XL. Had to resort to the diff lock a couple of times. That said, been upto Glasgow last couple of days and they have next to nowt. Though it did get a little slippy over the A66 on weds morn. Showing -7 over Stainmore.
Have put a request in for a bigger night heater to be fitted
