I think it was nicked or something, It doesn't look in a spot to get stuck unless it broke down.

I bet it was fun going up

Programmes like Top Gear don't help, when Clarkson decided to take a Discovery to the top of a Welsh mountain.

It got stuck several times, but it didn't break down, or at least it wasn't shown to have done.


I bet we all would like to do that run..........

well who said frontera`s are crap off road..
just think of the advertising cred.
have you seen the footage of the open top touring car driving up in 1917-18.
must have 10 blokes pushing to get it up.
whats changed.

I like the options for bringing it down.


My favourite would be break it up and take it down in pieces. A fitting end for a Frontera.

Yes, he would have had problems up the Watkin path. Especially the scree at the top!

Just because he owns a Frontera seems a little harsh
