I got the feeling the Range Rover dealer sat next to me in the passenger seat didn't want to be there. It may be because he'd already told me this was the worst time of the year to be taking out some journalism student who couldn't afford to buy the car if he'd been working as a hack for 20 years.

City-slicker revives iconic name
