Default Land Rover stop-start system...kind of...lol.

Guy at work just leased a new GM vehicle, which has the engine that turns off whenever you stop. Told him Land Rover has a similar system. He looks at me like l'm going to describe some sort of super-duper fancy-dancy sophisticated system. I say, "Yep, you stop for a red light and the engine turns off...(pause)...when light turns green...(longer pause -builds suspense ya see)...you get out your phone and call a flatbed."

Brian.
