Not quite a Range Rover

As mentioned on a thread, I sold the RR. Combination of age, running costs, not needing space etc. Also wanted something a little more "chuckable" for road trips to Scotland.

Wanted petrol, auto and a decent warranty. Not a massive budget either. Didn't quite want to give up the driving position either (of course this is no where near the RR)

And here it is. Very early days, but it is fun, I'll say that. Have I done the right thing? Still unsure on that one.

Very nice!

Heard nothing but good things about the N range, feels like a good time to own one before they ultimatly disappear in favour of the electric variety. Wouldn't mind a i30 N myself Mr. Green Sold - Bell a 2015 MY16 Loire Blue Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

It's a Kona N. 280bhp front wheel drive. Rather entertaining, but not as comfy!

@Archermav:

Don’t you already have something more “chuckable” lurking in the garage there under that cover? Whistle “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
