i have to admit tho i have never owned or am never likely to own a RRS. in my opinion theyre too big, too clumsy and they just dont do it for me.

my replacement is likely to be RS4 shaped.

Cracking sales pitch

i can only be honest Jonny.

they just dont do it for me, well not in standard form anyway. i appreciate everything they are and they are an awesome machine but im a car man and not a 4x4 man. just the way it is i guess. i have driven many many range rovers and they are a very nice place to be and drive nice and do have an amazing road presence but definitely not for me. bearing also in mind that i doubt very much i would be able to afford to run and maintain one

Wow what a list, i bet your insurance company loves you.

They actually made a GT metro WTH!!!  

Yes they did well it was a GTI or a GTa I'm not sure what this one runs on though Fireworks

was the understated car when I was 17/18

everyone had nova SR's and these were cheaper to insure with more refinement

Just sold my 06 535d msport now got the rrs.

Slowly but surely getting used to the less power.
