Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Because there weren't any old jags in the dealership I went to!
Me and my better half had gone on the hunt for an XJ6, and just to fill the day in I took a RRS out for a drive.

1: Driving position (the roof of its predecessor comes up to the bottom of the wing mirrors)
2: Interior design, ergonomics are fabulous.
3: The driving seat is Saab like in the comfort and support it provides.
4: I have always liked the exterior shape
5: Knowing it is the real thing off-road, I don't want to drive something that pretends to be something it is not. Graham

My mrs car had a small prang, whilst in garage we got a RRS for 3 weeks....she had mine and i drove the RRS......i was so impressed when it went back i went out and got one the following week.

Because it looks better than its built and I'm too stupid to reverse that statement and buy something with a better build quality

Guy from LR was dropping off a new Defender in the work carpark, he reversed onto my Lotus Elise bonnet. LR gave me a new RRS for the 2-3 weeks it took to repair. 1 month later, the Lotus went up for sale and I bought my RRS!

I've not heard of that sales technique before, but it clearly worked  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

Because I left the one brain cell I use on a daily basis asleep at home one weekend, and thus brought home something that needs more attention than a small child !

Because my GF told me that i looked rediculous in my Saab Aero Conv with my 1 meter 95.

So i went out to get i bigger car.

The RRS satisfied her... SW

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.

I've always lusted after one having driven one a couple of times - the feeling of presence, the view and comfort from the cockpit, its practicality and its off-road capability. However, my 220k mile XC70 was just as comfortable, practical, some off-road capability and 45mpg kind of meant I couldn't justify it to myself. Especially as the XC70 was such cheap/reliable motoring. Then I went to change the engine as the bores were worn and it was losing water bigtime, then that new one blew up as the old RICA remap didn't like the new clean inlet and overboosted, melting the pistons & destroying the turbo. Whilst waiting for a new bottom end to be grafted on, idly browsing autotrader one afternoon, came across a nice clean example, posted the link to my g/f and she said "When are you getting it?", so I did
