Tom LaPointe's Exotic Car Lifestyle Notebook

Ramblings on exotic cars, the car market, and things with wheels overall. We especially love Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche, and all the events where you find them.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Dunedin, Florida, United States

I currently publish iParent Magazine in the Tampa Bay area and work as a freelance writer for Affluent Page Index, in NYC. I grew up in Michigan near the Motor City and finished high school in Fernley NV. After attending the University of Nevada as a music major, I joined the Marine Corps as a combat correspondent. As a writer and editor, I won many publishing awards for photography, writing and editing. What led me to the auto industry is simply this: I love cars. I have raced stock cars and sports cars and competed in Land Rover off-road competitions in Vermont and Colorado. I have been a pit official for the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring, and a pit crewman for Indy and a Hooters Pro Cup races. I've served as a manager of both sales and service for one the largest luxury car groups in the world. I'm still active as an off-road instructor for Land Rover and HUMMER dealers and owners. I enjoy crawling an off-road vehicle through the most severe obstacles as much as heel-toeing sports cars into hairpin turns! I am also a freelance writer for several automotive publications.

Range Rover upgrades for '07


According to carconnection.com, these are some of the changes for the new year:

Range Rover Gets Upgrades for '07
Land Rover's Range Rover model gets a series of improvements for the 2007 model year, including upgrades to its interior and its off-road technology. Inside, the RR's cabin is fitted with more wood trim on the door panels, revised storage space and repositioned gearshift and parking-brake controls. New front seats offer optional cool-air circulation along with their standard heating elements. Side airbags have been moved to the seats as well. Land Rover's Terrain Response system appears on the Range Rover for 2007 as well, while an electronic rear differential is now available or standard on supercharged versions.
