Living in the Rockies just outside of Denver I have two comments on this
subject 1) climbing to the highest paved road in the world ( Trail Ridge Road @
12,000' ASL ) is fun in an english car....( sorry, it was the Jag V12 this time
)... 2) the first sign of winter in the
Rockies is an SUV on its top......8-)........P.S. I want to see the Land Rover/
Sunbeam Hybrid, as I own specimens of both vehicles....I do NOT consider a
series Land Rover an SUV......no power brakes, no power steering no power
anything ( including the 2.25l engine! )
and NO CUP HOLDERS...........
