The Underpowered Hour

Rover chat: Ike and Steve talk AI art, Forklift Follies, Convertible Defender Conversions, and "From the Archives: Disneyworld Rovers"


Listen Later

This week's episode has our heroic hosts chatting about all sorts of interesting Land Rover related topics.


1:20 First, JLR is making money, and business is up! Seems they're making money: profit, revenue and free cash flow are all up.

2:50 Steve has been working on some interesting AI research for work, and talks about the AI generated art work he produced using those tools. Its interesting to see what AI thinks about Land Rovers based on the information its been given.

9:10 Convertible Land Rover Defender 90 conversions- that's new defenders, not old ones. The guys break down their thoughts about it, and some considerations about turning a modern car into a convertible. How does this conversion compare to the Bronco or the Jeeps that come from the factory with soft tops? Ike and Steve give their opinions.

15:10 Steve finally got rid of the widowmaker, and in the words of Liza, "This is the stupidest thing [Steve's] ever done". Watch our socials this week for a video of the widowmaker being winched by a Defender into a truck and nearly destroying it in the process...

22:00 Ike has a new segment we're calling "From the Archives". This week, he talks about the infamous Land Rovers used in the early construction of Disneyworld in Florida, and Ike has some ideas how that deal came to be that Disney should purchase 49 Series IIA pickup trucks with PTOs for mowing roadside.

27:00 Did a Land Rover expedition to South America actually install snake venom sucking apparatus onto their manifolds? Listen to Ike tell us what he's learned.
