Land Rover remembers it too as it was a glorious period in history when Defenders and Range Rovers competed in some of the most grueling off-road racing conditions the world has to offer.

    I am one of the folks underwhelmed by the noise of the new C8 Corvette. It’s an excellent machine but I was left wanting more. And now “more” is knocking on the door. It arrives bearing a Z06 logo and tremendous, outrageous, excellent noise. Word has it that this C8 Z06 will be packing a…
