Show notes
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 Hosts01:18 Guests And Rally Tease02:00 JLR Job Cuts Talk03:44 Discovery Sport Cancelled05:57 Monterey Range Rover Pair08:16 Auction Price Guessing12:36 Rally Trip Begins15:53 Road Trip Mishaps17:52 Trails And Elevation18:19 Carb Trouble at Altitude19:02 Ouray Views and Town19:35 Rally Car Mix Shifts21:48 Monsoon Mudslides23:25 Camping and Trail Logistics24:49 Alex Highlights Mining Ruins27:09 Shoutouts and Trophy Defender29:53 Vendors Classes and Camp Movie33:04 Destination Defender Roast34:59 Wrap Up and Credits
