We need a Landrover sub-forum

Very nice, SPX.

You still prefer semi-skimmed to full fat then

Do they have the same 4.4 twin turbo TDV8 as the FFRR? What colour is the interior?

 

[gunning]

Only thing this'll be covered in is the remnants of peasants I've crushed after parking on the kerb.

Hahaha... I always used to make those sort of jokes with my mates when I had the FFRR

A white RR sport... Bold statement that one! I think it's more acceptable up country. Wouldn't really go well in the Cornish country side

Like my grandma always says; no point being poor and looking poor!

To be honest black would have been my first choice but white is such a good seller (when the time comes obviously) plus white shows off the Autobiography kit more than black.

Yeah understandable. I like the interior though! The difference between the sport I had and the sport you've just bought are worlds apart considering they are the same shape. Mine was just sh*t! Horrible interior compared to the FFRR but the face lifted ones actually have a good layout going on with what looks to be far superior materials to the first sports.

Ah, well yeah SPX, spose' its OK. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

I like it Lee. Nice one pal !

Back from our one's inaugural journey - went away for the weekend.
First impressions are positive - it drives lovely, and the TDV8 is just effortlessly torquey.
Have some bits and bobs to do on it (it is a landrover lol).
Looking forward to driving to Italy in it this summer, and I haven't looked forward to that journey for a hell of a long time!!

Likewise picked ours up on Saturday. Once I'd worked out (with Jonnyboys help) why I could not get fuel in I've been a happy bunny.

As john I've a few jobs to do. Had to order side steps, and discovered that the 12v sockets did not work - just a fuse.

Drives lovely, sounds superb.....

Never mind a Land Rover forum, at this rate we will need a TDV8 sub-forum!

A gratuitous picture from the car lot. Was trying for some better photo's today, but did not allow for iphone battery life..

What we need is a moderator with the guts to move this to...Defectors to Other Marques Forum.

I thought this was a Mercedes Benz club?

A few photos taken on this crisp winter morn...







And after the most depressing interior I've ever had the misfortune to sit in the X5, this is absolute heaven:

Well, Heaven as in the gay nightclub, yes.

I like it Lee, but you knew that!

I guess it is inevitable that owners of Mercedes would soon want to move up to the next level though.

No-one will post - they are all steadfast in lane 3 holding up the performance cars .

No that's usually Jags.

Another vote for an RR subforum here!!.

Here's mine, freshly washed:


No chrome or blacked out windows .

 

[gIzzE]

Yeah me too.

I moved to Mercedes as I wanted luxury, but have tested a couple of Range Rovers and Discos again recently and hate to say it, but they have got Mercedes licked in that department.

I tried a year old ML350 with 13000 miles on it against a 5 year old RRS with 80k miles on it, and the Merc felt a bit cheap in comparison. I now totally get why when people move to RR they never move away again.
