Hi there,

My name is Tasha and I live in South Wales. I am awaiting a phone call from Stratstone in Cardiff to say that my 2011 Bali Blue has arrived.
I've always had an interest in cars and have owned a z3, golf gti's, a focus rs, an evo 8, a subaru rb320 and sit 330s but the arrival of my Alaskan malamute pup prompted me to look for something bigger. After a day driving the rr sport at a land rover experience centre I was blown away. I've been reading the forum as a guest over the last few months as I eagerly await the new arrival and I have learnt a lot.

This is a brilliant forum and I look forward to becoming more involved over the forthcoming months and years.

Welcome to the Mad House and to the purple owners club

Make sure you get a boot liner! Even with one I find that the Huskey's continually malting hair is a challenge! I have the LR boot liner, and although it works its ain't a great design.. I believe there are some better 3rd party products that secure (by velcro) in place better.

Also, when the malamute is fully grown, it maybe a bit tight in the RRS boot, its not that big.. Ours is a Siberian Huskey and i wouldn't want him to be any bigger!

Welcome!

Thanks for the advice 2nd rower. I ordered a dog guard and boot liner from LR but have noticed The 3rd party products on sites like eBay at good prices too. The little guy is only 18 weeks at the mo but is nearly 3 stone already!!!


We have lucky dogs travelling in such style!

Best regards

Tasha

Well impressed as it fits in with my LR Dog Guard (after a quick mod) and allows the Load Space cover to be left in place
