A little off-roading in NYC

Yes, but just a little. I didn't expect much of a track and I am glad that I did not have to wait long. On the map I could tell that the location was a parking lot, I wished they had used more of it, but they did a good job with the area they used. The track was decorated with city debris, chunks of fake roadway, crash barriers, 55 gallon drums and sign posts.

Available to drive were the LR4 (Discovery replacement), Range Rover, Range Rover Sport(in between the LR4 and the Range Rover) and the Range Rover Evoque. I chose to drive a Range Rover Sport and within seconds of strapping in, I accidentally hit one of the thousands of electronic knobs and buttons controlling the vehicle, first time of three. It was easy to drive and did well on the limited terrain of the track, though we did bottom out at one point. Like most cars today, too many electronic features.

You could get your picture taken by one of the older vehicles that were on display, I was photographed in front of the Camel Trophy Discovery.  I had sent in an application for one of the Camel Trophy events years ago, but I was not chosen.

1994 Land Rover Discovery

NA Land Rover Defender 110

The Discovery again, we had one and it was one of the best vehicles we have had.

As a parting gift we were given a 2Gig Flash drive in the guise of a Range Rover fob and a Land Rover NA 25th Anniversary pin.

The Land Rover event was at 18th street and 10th avenue, so I also made trips to Paragon sports, B&N books, Guitar Center and the green market at Union Square. It wouldn't have been worth making the trip for just the quick off road drive.
All in all a good day out, the precipitation never was more than a drizzle so it was enjoyable strolling about.
