“..I don’t understand the Land Rover Discovery. It’s like torque and electricity and Peter Mandelson. We know it exists and we know what it does. But we can’t explain it very easily. In the olden days, it made sense. There was a big hole between the utilitarian, bring-your-own-earplugs Defender and the Range Rover, which had [...]

Ford were mighty relieved when it managed to off-load it’s British marques, Jaguar and Land Rover, to Tata. Now after 1 year and 9 months of ownership, causing the normally profitable Tata Motors to fall into a £41 million pound loss and falling sales, how do you think Tata are feeling about the purchase of [...]
Things are a little busy here at the moment. I'm NaNoWriMoing for a start and that is proving more difficult than in previous years as I'm working three days a week. Actually I'm beginning to resent work because it eats so much into the time I used to spend day dreaming and not doing very much. I miss that time. This past week, for example. Last Saturday I dragged myself out for a 6.5 mile run, which...
Today, activists from Liverpool Antifascists delivered leaflets in Halewood. The event was an overall success, but once again Merseyside BNP revealed that they rely more on intimidation tactics than on politics to get their point across. As we set off from the Summerfield on Hillfoot Avenue, there was a brief encounter with a BNP supporter. Mistaking the antifascists for the BNP, he had joined us and...
The final harvest of the 2009 season is in. 48 sacks of Vilberie cider apples, plus 22 sacks of unknown yellow sharp apples and a few cookers to blend in. That's about a ton, and I've got my work cut out to press them over the next two days... Once again the weather in the orchard was wonderful, more late Summer than early Winter. I was helped on this visit by my sister-in-law Susan , who's hard graft...

How We Turned a Wreck Into a New Car On November 3, my wife lost control of our 2003 Subaru Outback on the Interstate. It spun off the highway, up an embankment, rolled over, and landed against a guard rail. Here’s her account with pictures . She was fine…the car was totaled. Here’s the process we went through that finally landed us a new car. I’m sure that we made a few mistakes,...
This morning when we got up we found a little surprise in the loose housing shed - you can see her in the photograph above - sorry about the cow-pat directly in front of her but Mum was being protective and the farmer didn't want to get any nearer. Usually the heifers leave here and go home to the farm next door two or three weeks before they are due to calve, so that they can have special rations...

Just a quick post to thank everyone for their concerned queries during this weather event in Cumbria . I am safe and sound, on high ground, with enough provisions to see me through to the middle of next week, so I have no need to venture out at all. This is the road to Hawkshead , my nearest village about a mile away, which is only passable if you have a Land Rover (and then, it comes up over the bonnet!)....

As someone who is (let's admit) rather girlie, it might surprise you that tomorrow I'm getting to drive a big bad Land Rover off road!! Given that it's been awfully rainy recently, I can only imagine I'm going to be driving through a swamp, which I have to admit fills me with a slight sense of apprehension!! This photo is from their website. This photo worries me. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THROUGH A RIVER!!...
Tata, the Indian group that owns Jaguar Land Rover and Corus in Britain, has begun a global search for a successor to Ratan Tata, the chairman of the sprawling conglomerate.
Planned for a 2012 launch, the replacement for the traditional 61-year-old Land Rover is underway in JLR’s Gaydon design center. Dubbed Project Icon, the plan is for a relatively simple, steel-suspended workhorse meant to attract lower-end Discovery buyers.
Jaguar Land Rover’s revised business plan includes an idea to close one of its plants in the West Midlands by the middle of the next decade. It’s still a toss-off between the Castle Bromwich plant in Birmingham or its Solihull plant.
Land Rover confirmed today that LRX Concept will be built and that the production version will join the Range Rover line-up in 2011. The new car will be built at the Gaydon facility and it will be the “smallest and most efficient vehicle the company has ever produced”.
