Watch out for loading your GS with speed camera databases - even if it's not a "live" detector, it's illegal in most countries.

Big long discussion on many GPS forums.

I had spotted that, I think I posted a link a while back to some info on The AA website but will repost it if I can find it lol, they gave a break down on the rules for each country and they included info about the GPS stuff if there was a problem with them in that country.

To be honest I dont think we should have a problem with speed just put a landy at the front and im sure we will be fine lol!

Top Gear proved that 170mph was needed - wonder how stable a Green Oval is at that speed affraid

they go into some kinda warp speed style rotational flip thing looks bad but its just how they are designed to go so so so fast!!!

Steering wobbles a little bit.
To be honest LR have got the aerodynamic result of the Defender down to near perfection so you don't really notice much drag at 170 Laughing
