2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Bonatti Grey

Mrs McBunny drove this car to the dealer's! (or at least any white R8 V10, but I suppose there are not too many in our town)

She does like fast cars (especially AUDIs ) but honestly she says the R8 is a terrible piece of I cannot use such ugly words here, the V10 is even worse than the "small" one! The problem is this semi-automatic transmission which works great when driving (especially when driving fast ) but not at all around town because it does not have a torque converter, it is either in gear of off gear. This gives you great drag race performance but if you try to drive normal around town or in the car park the car can't, it is then in gear, off gear, in gear, off gear, in gear, off gear, etc., all within parts of a second. It hobbles like a driver's school car while the first lesson of a girl whose parents don't have a car and who has never seen how to use a clutch - and this phenomenon becomes worse with every hp the car cains. That's really a pitty because I think the rest of the car is just brilliant and I absolutely cannot understand why they don't use a converter for first gear, it would make this car almost perfect!

So Angel, be happy with your car. First of all, it does sound better than the Audi (which does sound good, that's true) and second: You still have the most beautiful car ever built, even without enginge, the DBS would still be some kind of art!
Besides that, the DBS is an Aston Martin while the R8 even with that wonderful V10 engine still only is an Audi. RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

Knowing it's 2 Ford Mondeo v6 engines welded together though does take some of the gloss off, good job the wrapper is good!
