If you are going on a Road Trip across the world, what else will you use but a Land Rover! Paul Hanson, a 26 year old physiotherapist from Stafford along with his 24 year old stepbrother, George Coleman, planned to travel through 18 countries. Their goal is to break the world record of 10 days, 3 hours and 16 minutes. They are doing it in a Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5.

Plus, it not only offers a lot of finance options but also comes with countless conveniences. Hence, this is 'THE CAR' if one is planning a road trip anywhere.
