Seen this on their website before.

Not sure if I can get white/met white past Mrs ST but working on it.

Also, Tigers not Supersports, Aero I kit too as it is a lot more subtle! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I've driven both the FFRR and RRS versions of the TDv8 Suiper and the FFRR suspesnion set-up would be ideal for long distance hauls like you driver out to Cyprus, it is vastly superior to the RRS on that front and simply smothers road imperfections and potholes, but it isn't as nice to drive fast on twisty roads. LR now fit DR to all FFRR's in the UK so the handling may be less sloppy than it was, but the S/C versions had DR anyway as part of the S/C package. I cannot think of a better sub £100k car for continent straddling journeys though - it has sufficeint get up and go but supreme comfort - you could get in and drive it for 12 hours nonstop and get out at your destination totally relaxed and refreshed. The exhaust note is better muffled on the cruise than it is in the RRS but you can still hear it when you want to play at boyracers! I must admit that the enhanced rumble in the TDv8 RRS gets a bit tiring when you are 4 hours into a 10-11 hour journey ..................................... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim, our reasoning for a FFRR is down to a number of things really:

1. I never buy the same car twice. I just like to experience different interiors/driving experiences/engine configs

2. The FFRR is smoother riding (Although i'm sure 22" Tigers will put that to the test). The roads out here aren't the best.

3. The interior quality of RRS is always something i've been a little disappointed with and the FFRR is up there with the best Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

Australia 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Fuji White

Like VA have to make a decision, they dropped the price from 123K to 120K on the road on the basis they could not improve on the trade in of 69K, which is exactly the balance on the finance after 2 years, so that is neutral.

Therefore have to look at new finance and maybe a longer term, Does KAM do finance packages for down under Whistle I am currently with LR finance, so no doubt i am not getting the best deal in town. Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
