My mum coming up for her 70th Birthday and yesterday got discharged after 2 years of illness that resulted in a major bit of neurosurgery.

To say the least I, and the family are over the moon.

So i was thinking of treating her, one of my ideas is afternoon tea at Betty's Tea Room Harrogate as a family with the kids, then drive them in the "lap of luxury" to a posh hotel for relaxing and then a nice evening meal with my dad, who has been by her side through all this.

Does anybody know of a good self drive hire company in the Leeds area, so I can drive them to the tea room and then on to the hotel then (costs permitting) collect them the following day to return home

Thinking Bentley or Similar, or maybe new FFRR/RRS2

So hire or a guide to how to get a weekend test drive will be great

Sorry Nick - can't help with the hire company, but it sounds like you and you're family have been through the mill over the last couple of years and this is a lovely gesture. Glad to hear your mum's discharged. You're welcome to have my RRS but she might notice its bit of an old banger ! Hope the plans work out. 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

Glad to hear your Mum is on the mend Nick - been there and got the T shirt so good idea what you've all been through

Worth trying your dealer for a weekend test drive on the basis you're looking to change - have done this myself in the past when on good terms with sales

Maybe Pete@LR could help out a Forum member/owner as a bit of goodwill  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

cheers guys, its been a tough year or two

I think my dealer knows i wouldn't be buying a FFRR, saying that apparently Perry's are doing FFRR for £799 a month, subject to T&C's
