From the Toyota Land Cruiser launch

Our assistant editor Stuart Milne is away at the launch of the new Toyota Land Cruiser and just texted this update to us:

I’ve just flown out to Fuertaventura to drive the Toyota Land Cruiser V8 flagship model – a nice change from wet and cold Blighty! The luxury SUV has been brilliant on the island’s rugged mountains.

The scenery is pretty special too. You can forget about the Canaries being all beer and beaches – it’s stunning out here! Watch out for the full verdict on the car later this week.
