## Resource

In this episode, Martin and Steve are joined by Mat Allcroft – AKA Fitter Mat – to react to your unpopular Land Rover opinions. Is the Isuzu Trooper better than a Discovery 300Tdi? Do you need mud-terrains to do the NC500? Can Defenders actually be made good to drive? Is the Grenadier the Defender Land Rover should have made? Okay, we all know the answer to the last one, but there's lots of other unpopular opinions crammed into this episode of The LRM Podcast. The latest issue of Land Rover Monthly is on sale today!
