Rating our Land Rover Collection with Chris (Who Doesn’t Listen to the Show)

On this week’s episode, Chris (who doesn’t listen to the show) is filling in for Ike while he and the Pangolin crew continue their Cooma adventures down under.  Long time friend of the Beres family, Chris has joined Steve for many if not most of his hair brained adventures, and has had a long history with many of the cars in the collection.

Today, Chris has a graph and a chart, and we’re ranking Steve’s Rovers, past & present, and grading them on a scale.  With categories like BEST, PRETTY OKAY, AMAZING (BUT MIGHT NEVER LEAVE THE WORKSHOP), DAILY DRIVERIEST, AND OFF-ROADIEST.  They break down fifteen different vehicles Steve has or currently owns, and ranks them accordingly, with some fun stories of misadventure over the years.  It’s like picking your favorite child…
