So, been a few months, probably even near a year since I've been on here....trust you're all well?

Do miss my RRS sometimes, but still loving the 335dX Touring, some 11,000 miles on the clock now......our Disco4 is doing well too, though I've just ordered a replacement for it.....a Merc GL .

Seriously considered getting back into an RRS2, but just doesn't have the usable 3rd row for longer journeys we required. Didn't want to replace with another Disco, nothing wrong with them, quite the opposite, just fancied a change and our search lead us to the Merc GL, they are absolute monsters, but surprisingly easy to drive, delivery in late Dec/early Jan.

Is that Ady mod chap still allowed on here, or did you lot see sense and have him banned

Disco4 will be going up for sale in a month or so, it's well equipped and in good order and looked after (I'll pop a spec up in the FS at some point), so if anyone is interested, drop me a PM

Look forward to catching up on what's new on here  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Wow, a blast from the past!

Which GL are you going for? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

350 BlueTEC AMG. Very well specced out of the box and we've added a few toys too.
Would love the GL63 .....but oh the fuel bills  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Good to hear you're ok and be interesting to see what you think of the GL a few months in


oh ye, don't forget the pictures when it arrives MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

2012 3.0 SDV6 Luxury gone, but a great motor

Nice. Don't suppose you'll be speccing the "on and off road pack"?

I was surprised to see it has a 3.5t tow capability. An interesting thing for me to remember for the future... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

BMW Forum, well you and Ady along with a couple of other deserters could maybe start your own.
Next the Merc Forum ... do they have one.

Anyway, nice to hear your still in the land of the living BC.
Cheers for now

Ah, Mr Syd, long time no speak.....I notice you didn't want to associate with me when I breached the pikey forum rules eh!!!

BM Forum is ok, and they've been accepting as I have the 335d, not a lot of airtime for anyone with a lesser engine Not seen Ady over there yet.....I've a gun all loaded to assassinate him

Merc Forum - funny you say....not really found a decent one yet.
