What blend of genetics and environment is responsible for a restless spirit? Something drives me, never satisfied with the status quo, always willing to jump in and tackle the next social reform. Without thinking I find myself working to redress inequities between the set of upper middle class white privileges I was born into and the world faced by so many of my friends and colleagues. I always feel 'different than' those around me, and therefore feel driven to work with and befriend those that are more different still from the norm.

Do these ideas speak to you? Is there some part of your spirit that is restless or have you felt sometimes unbearably 'different than' those around you? Do you wish to make a difference in the world? Then you need to be able to capitalize on your differences, bringing their gifts to bear on your unique goals for life. This article uses the three ideas of action research (don't worry it won't be academic) to ask all of us how we may use the differences we feel and experience to the benefit of ourselves and others.

Discovery

A restless spirit is a gift, it keeps us learning, with the potential for a young and vibrant life. Start your discovery process with a reminiscence of your life journey - tracking the times in which you felt the most different from others and then what you learned from that. As an example, junior high school (13-15) were tough years for me as my height made me stand out and I was never interested in what the popular people thought was worth attention. This gave me the strength to slip away and do what I wanted, to stand up for myself when necessary. In high school these attributes converged with finding that other people who felt outcast were friendly, teaching me that there was always a welcoming smile to be found somewhere, as long as I was gentle and willing to be respectful. I still find that people who live at the edges of society (other immigrants like me for instance) have vitally interesting stories to tell. What were your life lessons? How did they contribute to a baseline of how you approach life today?

Measurable Action

The second step is to track the actions you have taken and their relative success. Where to start? With those actions that lead to the goals you are wanting to accomplish today. As an example, my life goal now is to grow in my leadership in using the wisdom I have accumulated in my 50+ years to help people have more success in their personal and business lives. My greatest successes have been with action research - a simple process that can easily be applied to a huge range of desired outcomes. By writing on how to use action research in a variety of ways I am taking small steps aimed at both increasing the numbers of people who read what I write, and therefore the degree of influence I have in the world. This step is called measurable action - by that we look at where we have had success, where we want to go and we plot a course that builds on one to move towards the other. As you click on the links at the bottom of this article in the resource box you increase my measurements of success and show me that there was something interesting here.

Writing articles are the actions that I am taking, noticing how many people read each, over what length of time, tracking how many follow the links from these articles to my website, and tracking the analytics of the traffic to my sites - all these are the measurements. Do you see how action and measurement need to be related from the beginning? How else are we to grow, if we cannot track what is successful and what is not?

Reflection

The last, step that keeps our success on track is to reflect. I set aside 30 minutes on Friday afternoons for reflection on the week. I probably should make it twice a week, because I find so much has gone on that I forget some details. I have a form that separates my notes into these three steps: discovery, measurable action, and reflection. I write about what I have done to advance both my ideas and my writing, I track my activities and notice the responses, finally I reflect on what has made the week what it has been, contributing to either my success or failure (and of course I have both). This regular reflection keeps me moving onward and upwards towards my vision of life.

What has been the benefit of my restless spirit and my dissatisfaction with the status quo of the home in which I grew up? I believe that all of us can continue to grow, to change and to make a difference in our world(s). These three steps: discovery, measurable action and reflection keep us all on track.

Creating Off-Road History With The Land Rover Discovery 1

Covering the broadest possible market segments with various products lines has always been the marketing strategy of automobile makers unless you are just targeting a certain niche like the upscale sports dominated by Ferrari or the luxury upscale limousines like the Rolls.

Among SUVs, you have a number of Japanese, American and European makes competing for world markets.  The Land Rover has been a traditional brand that had its roots in 1948 and has been the most recognized brand as a multi-purpose all-weather all terrain utility vehicle.  Its presence is everywhere, from the military forces in many countries, to expeditionary land transport as well as in the more mundane agriculture and industrial settings.

It wasn’t until the late 80s and early 90s that the phenomenon of SUVs took hold on the Land Rover to start marketing a more updated series of vehicles that are at once all-terrain all-wheel drive sporty with the creature comforts associated with urban driving on city roads.   With that, the Rover Group Plc introduced the Land Rover Discovery 1 – the first in a series that redefined the Land Rover as an SUV for th90s and beyond

A Cheaper Range Rover by Design

The Discovery was born from a vehicle project code-named “Project Jay” with the specific objective of coming out with a new Land Rover model based on the chassis and drivetrain of the upscale Range Rover but at a lower price point to attract a larger budget conscious market and to keep the Japanese SUVs at bay.  First unveiled  in the UK markets in 1989 as a 3-door model with the larger 5-door variant appearing the following year, the Discovery also came out in the Japanese markets as the Honda Crossroad between 1989 and 1999 resulting from the technical partnership with Honda Motors.  The partnership ended when BMW buying the Rover Group in 1994.

A 3rd party design consultant ware hired - the Conran Design Group in London, to help the Rover team design a more suitable  interior for an all-terrain 4x4 to be positioned more as a cheaper lifestyle alternative to Range Rover. It ended with some remarkable designs that in 1999 won a British Design Award for its custom sunglass holder that’s uniquely positioned at the center of the steering wheel.

Most of its interior specs had been holdovers from a Range Rover design mock-up.  Its interior structure is basically that of a Range Rover with various functional design elements like its switchgear and instrument panel taken from the Montego and Maestro Rover series.  Its exterior also borrowed design elements like the headlamps from the Freight Rover and the taillights from its Maestro van.

Behind the hood, the Discovery 1 was offered with either a 2.5 liter Tdi diesel or the 3.5 liter V8 engines.  In 1994 it was introduced in the US modified to comply with the strict US motor vehicle requirements.   Improvements were further added like Bosch electronic emissions control, a more comfortable ride, a stronger R380 gearbox, larger headlights and a second set of lights on the rear bumper.

Other improvements were done to comply with newer European road safety standards.   In 1995 a more powerful 3.9 litter V8 from the Range Rover SE model was used. Its 1996 models and onwards were  fitted with 4.0L engines had a few improvements that included a larger, cross-bolted main bearings, revised intake, pistons and a new distributorless engine management system called GEMS.  1998 saw the end of the Land Rover Discovery 1 life cycle to be replaced by the Discovery 2.
