Quite often we’re told that Nigerians are a bunch of resilient, hard working, never say die people but when you witness this kind of determination by my friends over at Lastma to make that ‘paper’ you’ve got to ask yourself am I doing enough for my hustle?
This guys actually helped the unsuspecting driver of this classic push this 2Ton+ monster unto the kerb and then bill em’ while askari stands watch…..

Evoque

Other than its utilitarian origins, Land Rover has best kept its Heritage. Of the 4x4 vehicles you see on the road, Land Rover is the 2nd oldest brand, being younger only to the founding father of 4x4’s (Jeep). If you’ve ever been to Oniru beach you probably would’ve seen what the ‘prehistoric’ Land Rover looked like ( you know the ones that are used in transporting machine vibrated blocks) they’re called the Land Rover Defender and it hasn’t really changed much from the series 1 that launched the brand in 1948.

Range Rover is Land Rover’s Luxury division. The 1st Range Rover was designed in 1970 to further help Land Rover move upward the Luxury market. The secret was to build a vehicle that could take Land Rover’s best customers everywhere in style and comfort, be it a camping trip out in the mountains or take a cruise in style and comfort on the back roads. Till date, only 3 generations of Range rovers exist!!!!!!!!!!!

Range Rovers most popular stint probably came up under BMW ownership in 2002, but unfortunately like Jose Mourinho in Chelsea Bmw did not last long enough to reap all her rewards for the fine work it had done. To celebrate her 40th anniversary, Range Rover introduced the EVOQUE.

The EVOQUE is the 1st Range Rover to come in an optional 2WD mode. They say it’s the most fuel efficient and most environmentally friendly Range Rover yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s so hugely celebrated that Victoria Beckham was involved in the design phase just to up the Swag a little bit more. You want one, you'll be able to get one from next year when it goes on sale!
