  Monterey Car Week & Mogfest

  Aug 17, 202634 minS1

  Steve Beres and Ike Goss discuss Jaguar Land Rover’s Q1 results, including a £109M profit before tax (2.8% EBITDA) that’s down 68.9% year-over-year and a free cash flow balance of -£998M, speculating it reflects heavy spending on new models and facilities and inviting an accountant to explain it. They cover the Freelander 8 presale delay due to Typhoon Dolphin, pricing around $50,000 with a $68,000 limited launch edition, and its unusual featured details. The hosts recap Monterey Car Week news: Sotheby’s sold a 2007 SV Ultra and a 1993 Range Rover Classic for about $967K, plus notes about export and California sales restrictions, and they mention the $248K Range Rover SV Pearl Lustre benefiting the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. They also touch on the Dakar Defender Octa edition, an Octa used as a land-speed-record push vehicle, attend Mogfest in Oregon, and share workshop updates including transporting vehicles, clutch work, and Ike acquiring a 1965 Series IIA 109 pickup with a rear PTO. 00:00 Show Introductions 01:18 JLR Q1 Profits and Cash 02:23 Negative Cash Flow Explained 04:08 Freelander 8 Typhoon Delay 05:24 Launch Edition Oddities 08:02 Monterey Car Week Buzz 08:12 Auction Range Rovers Drama 10:24 SV Pearl Lustre Edition 12:22 Dakar Defender Octa Reveal 14:06 Color Scheme Hot Takes 16:06 Octa Tuning and Push Car 17:40 Land Rovers and Speed Records 18:47 Bluebird Support 109s 19:42 Mogfest Off Road Meetup 22:02 Unimog Reunion Story 23:29 Tiny Unimog Driving Impressions 25:05 Haflinger Love and Nesting 26:16 Shop Logistics and Repairs 27:55 New Series IIA Pickup Arrival 30:38 PTO Ice Cream and Blender Ideas 32:05 Wrap Up and Announcements 33:17 Credits and Support

  No-Limit Rang Rover SV

  Aug 10, 202633 minS1

  Steve Beres and Ike Goss discuss the presale launch of Chery’s new Freelander 8 and why Chinese vehicles face bans in places like the United States while gaining ground in the UK, including ownership-related legislation that impacted Polestar. They react to the Freelander’s “L-A-D-Y” passenger-seat acronym, joke about future models, and note rising JLR China profits as old Evoque stock clears and a former plant becomes a “Freelander Super Factory.” The conversation shifts to the new Range Rover GT—low roofline, minimal ground clearance, and built on JLR’s new electromodal architecture—plus Range Rover removing pricing limits for bespoke builds after a reported $550,000 example. They also cover a 50 million PR budget, a BYD/“Ti7” Defender-like SUV copy headed to Europe, workshop prep for NORRA Baja support vehicles, race-car parts arriving, and motorcycle trip plans. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 01:23 Freelander 8 Presale Buzz 02:12 Chinese Car Bans and Ownership 04:01 The LADY Seat Controversy 05:13 Wheelander and Jimny Jokes 06:44 China Stock Clearance and Super Factory 08:28 Range Rover Model Explosion 09:21 Range Rover GT Road Rover 11:51 No Price Limit Special Editions 14:39 Sauna Load Space Wishlist 15:46 Ridiculous Options and Steel Wheels 16:11 Farm Gear Mods 16:26 Forbidden Luxury Interiors 17:28 Wild Range Rover Features 18:21 Just Make It Reliable 19:37 JLR Bad Publicity Budget 21:47 BYD Defender Clone 26:07 Workshop Support Truck Plans 27:39 Race Car Build Update 28:45 New GS Motorcycle Talk 30:24 Chicken Alaska And Denny's 31:31 Closing Trail Signoff

  National Rally Recap

  Aug 3, 202637 minS199

  Steve Beres and Ike Goss are joined by Linus and special guest Alex Massy to cover Land Rover news and recap the Land Rover National Rally in Ouray, Colorado. They discuss JLR cutting 300 jobs and a UK leadership shuffle after a cyberattack, the end of the Discovery Sport, and a Monterey Car Week auction of a one-of-one matched pair: a restored 1993 Range Rover Classic and a 2027 Range Rover SV Ultra, estimated at $750,000–$950,000. The group recounts driving from Oregon, tire and emissions issues with modern tow vehicles, high-altitude trail runs up to 13,000 feet, the beauty of Ouray and nearby mining towns, and monsoon rains that caused mudslides, closed trails, and led many attendees to leave early. They highlight event amenities, presentations, and a Camel Trophy film night. 00:00 Show Intro And Hosts 01:18 Guests And Rally Tease 02:00 JLR Job Cuts Talk 03:44 Discovery Sport Cancelled 05:57 Monterey Range Rover Pair 08:16 Auction Price Guessing 12:36 Rally Trip Begins 15:53 Road Trip Mishaps 17:52 Trails And Elevation 18:19 Carb Trouble at Altitude 19:02 Ouray Views and Town 19:35 Rally Car Mix Shifts 21:48 Monsoon Mudslides 23:25 Camping and Trail Logistics 24:49 Alex Highlights Mining Ruins 27:09 Shoutouts and Trophy Defender 29:53 Vendors Classes and Camp Movie 33:04 Destination Defender Roast 34:59 Wrap Up and Credits

  Range Rover GT & Matchbox The Movie

  Jul 27, 202630 minS1

  Steve Beres and Liza Beres open the episode discussing missing the Land Rover National Rally and a rough Freelander listing, then cover JLR news including the new all-EV Range Rover GT (with hybrid capability later) and continued touring of the Range Rover Electric/Sport Electric with large no-money-down “preorders.” They discuss the Chery-collaboration Freelander 8 ahead of its international rollout, noting its range-extender setup, short EV-only range, off-road hardware, six-seat layout, and controversial “L.A.D.Y.” passenger seat branding and fragrances. They review 2027 Defender updates and pricing, including the Octa’s horsepower drop, engine lineup changes, new seating and accessories, and a self-healing wrap, plus JLR’s renewable-material tire initiative and a 2027 Range Rover option for real buttons. They note designer Giorgetto Giugiaro’s rollover in a Defender 110 with no major injury, then enter “Recall Corner” for Discovery rear-camera flooding and a large Ford Bronco recall, and close with a Matchbox movie trailer featuring a Defender 6x6 pickup. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 01:17 Missing the Rally 02:01 Freelander for Sale 02:48 Range Rover GT Reveal 06:16 EV Preorders and Tour 07:24 Freelander 8 Roadshow 09:10 Lady Seat Controversy 12:15 2027 Defender Changes 14:33 Detuning and Tuning Talk 15:22 Defender New Options 16:14 Self Healing Wrap Talk 16:32 Rice Husk Tires 17:26 Buttons Return Range Rover 19:03 Giugiaro Rollover Story 21:00 Recall Corner JLR 21:46 Bronco Recall Comparison 23:23 Defender Forums No Fix 24:15 Land Rovers In Movies 24:34 Matchbox Movie Trailer 27:07 John Cena Movie Debate 29:03 Wrap Up And Credits

  Goodwood Electric Range Rover & Wild Turkish Defender

  Jul 20, 202631 minS1

  Steve Beres and Ike Goss recap Goodwood news, including JLR’s fully electric Range Rover with an estimated 300-mile EPA range, a $130,000 starting price, and confirmation of a Range Rover Sport EV, plus a new single JLR app replacing multiple remote apps. They discuss JLR halting China-market vehicle production at its Chengshu plant as it shifts to building the Freelander under a Chery joint venture while continuing exports to China. The pair then tour notable Bring a Trailer listings, including a refurbished, bright orange Turkish Autocar-built Defender 110 with a carbureted 3.5 V8 and a heavily dented front differential, and a rare NAS Defender-style yellow camping trailer with a fold-out tent and period-correct details.
