After doing so much of my assignment on boxer engines, I now feel like going out and buying a Subaru or Porsche.
You know it is sad when you call the local Land Rover dealership looking for a window regulator and sunroof parts for a Freelander and the parts guy knows the numbers off the top of his head.
And that they stock them.
I took a peek into the inside of this Freelander; I have seen GM vehicles from the 1990's with a better interior, and this model is a 2007! It honestly looks like the interior of a high end tractor, why people with money would buy a Land Rover is beyond me, unless they want the badge identity and that's it.
~Look into my signature and buy a WRX STi, 986, 911, or a Legacy Spec B~

Also, DO IT!

I wouldn't compare the Free Lander to the other Land Rovers.
Those are all so slow - why get one of those boxers when you can have this and the vehicle it comes in?

The Boxer Engines are easier to analyze compared to, say, a V8 or V12 engine.
I would've went nuts if our lecturer made us analyze a Merlin V12 instead. Then again, my next assignment is to actually design a gas turbine engine, and to say that assignment will be stressful is an understatement.
Note that mine is for a Lycoming aircraft engine though. Its a Boxer 4 layout, 360 cubic inches displacement.
good to hear that other people play this game also...
On the subject of in-car videorecordings ...
This might help with the (I?d say) small number of insurance frauds, but might be very problematic down the line. Now, this is all fine if you can use these to prove your innocence, I think nobody will disagree on that.
But what if this get?s compulsory some years down the line? They make it sound like it?d getting rather cheap to have one of these. So insuarances will hand them out, maybe offer a discount on your police if you agree to have them run all time (first, and then make you pay extra if you don?t want one - because they?ll say you?re hiding something) ... and if you then do have an accident will use this against you if they can. Maybe the accident wasn?t your fault, but the video shows you doing something wrong some hours earlier. Up goes your premium. If the accident was your falut, maybe they?ll try to blame it further on you (you being negligent) so that they don?t have to pay at all. And what about the police? If you have such a device on board, they will want to see what?s on it after a accident. Here, they?d certainly fine you for every traffic violation they find on that thing ... even if you gave it to them to prove that your innocent in an accident.
Or am I slowly getting paranoid?
