Much as I've enjoyed and learned much on this site my days here are numbered owing to a change of vehicle. Have already signed up for the FFRR site having ordered a Range Rover Westminster.

A lifelong ambition achieved at last, in spite of having really enjoyed the Sport but it does not have a 4.4L TDV8 under the bonnet.

Congrats on the FF Oldcro - hope you'll pop back every now and again for some leg pulling!!

 FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

as, above. Congrats on the FFRR purchase and just because you no longer have the sport doesn't mean you can't pop back to the RRSport forum every now and again. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Although I will become a member of the upper classes I will keep an eye out to see standards are being maintained in the lower ranks.

What if the upper classes wont have you  07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

Oldcro, let us know how you get on in a proper Range Rover!!

Would be interesting to hear your comparative thoughts on both vehicles once you driven it for a while. Good luck with the new motor mate. TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx
20" HST alloys, Privacy glass, Side steps, Xenon Adaptive Lighting, Adaptive cruise control

I'm not expecting delivery until May, so give me a month or two after that and I'll let you know how I get on. Either the biggest mistake or the best vehicle I ever bought. Fuel consumption will be interesting as the quoted RRS combined is 32.1mpg and the FFRR is 30.1mpg. My RRS indicates 28.5mpg so far.

Why is it that once you place an order time immediately slows down?

Oldcro, a "Westminster"?? Did you succumb to the recent LR marketing campaign? I was tempted but not enough to change my mind from my new AB. Jaguar XKR Convertible

No I have not seen any LR marketing yet, but the LR web site made up my mind for me when I read what was included. As for the AB I am not interested in the fancy trim bits and multi-coloured leather, but I do love my toys and the Westminster gives me loads of them for less money than an AB.

To each his own I guess and I'm sure you will be delighted with the AB Jonathan.

Jonathan, that's what I thought when I saw oldcrow's post.

Oldcrow - have to say, looks a fine car and as you say a decent spec for A/B money and with a 4.4 TDV8 ....enjoy  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I just checked and an AB with the same options it would cost over £12,000 more. I thought I had pushed the boat out far enough as is, so guess I'll have to be contented being a 2nd class Range Rover owner.

Oi...... I thought you said you were leaving!
