As a former Crown Colony, the chaps in India that now own Land Rover know how to outfit a truly sporting machine, good for the Tiger Hunt in the bush. This takes the place of using Elephants when tracking the wild beast, and when the hunt is over, a good platform to breakout the Sapphire Gin.
It actually seems a bit odd that what was a gem in the royal jewels of the Empire is now owned by one of the colonies.
@skaycog: It's a big deal for the same reason Lululemon and Victoria's Secret are so successful. It's not about what you're packing, it's about how nicely it's displayed.
@skaycog: I think what is most key here is not the Grey Goose, or the USP, or the AK.

They may get arrested immediately if they are pulled over, but at least they won't have any pesky white lab hairs on their nice, skin-tight, black muscle Ts.
Throw in a humidor and you've got the Rush Limbaugh Edition RR. Only thing I'd do different is put the shotguns in a locking dash mount like the cop cars have for quick deployment. Ya never know when you might get jumped by a pheasant (peasant?)

Someone neglected to tell LR that the Africa this is built for no longer exists - what big game remains is protected, Apartheid is (thankfully) dead, the words "gay" and "Cecil Rhodes" can be used in the same sentence and Wilbur Smith is an old man.
I done a fair bit of trap shooting in my relatively young years...Has any other Jalop ever used an side by side for sport and or clay shooting? What is the advantage vs over under?
@Neener:
I've always associated side by sides with a more traditional/purist crowd...and over unders with a more modern, performance oriented fan base.

I don't know why there's such a big deal about this Land Rover. All I have to do is reach behind me for my booze and guns.

I don't drink but I imagine this would be great fun to park in a McDonalds. Bigmacs and expsensive booze plus guns.
I want to see the youtube clips already.
