I`ve gone and done it!

Well after a lot of deliberation I finally went to see one.......and bought it Laughing Took a hit on my Merc and part exed it. Won`t be able to collect till back end of next week though Sad

I dropped on a 2006 Silver HST 4.2 s/c (I know a lot don`t like the HST but it was what I wanted...a bit different).

As soon as I put my foot down.....I had to have it.....that sound.....that power, oh yes Laughing

Just a couple of pics from the ad Thumbs Up

England 2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Santorini Black

The HST is one of the best looking RRS out there. Well I had one! If it's on 22 then not a good ride. They will not be original Land Rover wheels either. But never mind all that it's one hell of a machine enjoy Thumbs Up MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

Congratulations - it looks the part Wink the HST was the first Sport that caught my eye all those years ago & even now they still turn heads. The supercharged was my first RRS & what a motor that was Whistle . The alloys look like 20's but beware 22's I had them on my Supercharger they are aftermarket copies & had multiple cracks in 3 alloys they just aren't fit for use on the RRS.

Happy motoring Thumbs Up 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
17MY Autobiography Dynamic - Corris Grey - WOW.
14MY Autobiography Dynamic - SDV6 - Fuji White Smile
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Santorini Black - Dual View - Rear Entertainment - Sunroof.
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Orkney Grey - awesome ;(
2005 Java Black - 4.2 V8 Supercharged First Edition- will never be forgotten ;(

Or between the Shell Garage and the nearest BP Station Rolling with laughter

Looks nice though Thumbs Up In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

I'm not 100% sure but I think 22s might put too much strain on steering / drive train. Remember reading something on here about it a few times. A set of 20s will ride better too Thumbs Up Visitor from fullfatrr.com
