The Land Rover Discovery is a mid-size SUV, with off-road capabilities, from the British car maker Land Rover; a subsidiary of Tata Motors. There have been three generations of the vehicle, which was first introduced in 1989. The current 'Discovery 4 is marketed in North America as the LR4. The Discovery was introduced into the United Kingdom in 1989. The company code-named the vehicle "Project Jay". The new model was based on the chassis and drivetrain of the more upmarket Range Rover, but with a lower price aimed at a larger market segment and intended to compete with Japanese offerings. This was the only Discovery generation with four-cylinder engines. The Discovery was initially available in a three door version. The five door became available the following year. Both were fitted with five seats, and an option was made available to have two further seats fitted in the "boot" area at the back of the car. Land Rover employed an external consultancy, Conran Design Group in London, to design the interior. The brief was to ignore current car interior design and position the vehicle as a 'lifestyle accessory'.
I was going to go buy great big broken heavy things with engines and wheels, which could be convinced to roll once again, helped by my wise hands. Great motorized distractions, ready to be thrust into the center of my vision and resources, pushing all other obligations and reasonable thought out of the spotlight, if only for just a few days. A week or two maybe, TOPS that I would lose all interest in doing anything else but fiddling with these new projects. She was part of it! She was feeding the monster too! Speaking of feeding the monster, I faked an impending need for gasoline as an excuse to pull into a convenience store only fifteen minutes into our trek. I knew this particular store to sell deviled eggs and deep-fried chicken parts as well as dozens of varieties of jerky products, and I'll tell you this about my helper: She's an eater.

6 hours driving that day, mainly on rough rock or limestone roads some of which would be challenging for the Freelander, one of which the Freelander would not be able to make. We would stop for two breaks and end up camping for the night. We checked our CB Radio鈥檚 and PBR鈥檚 and headed off to the 1st lane. The route on the 1st day was quite easy except for a rock climb created by the forestry. Also there was a great washout, both were great fun though. We did a couple of small river crossings and also some tarmac sections between off road sections. A couple of things I did notice thought the Discovery 2 did not like wet grass; I guess the traction control was having a fit because it kept sliding about, nothing to do with the driver. The thing which really stopped the Freelander was also, wet grass. Ok it was on a slope but the Freelander needed a tow?
