Scarey, so how you liking your new RR... Is it everything you hoped for..?

Do you find yourself "popping" out for some milk when you have loads left in the fridge, just so you can drive it more...

thank you for asking kind sir...its very different from my smax, the seating position is much higher which is a good thing cos you can see well ahead over other vehicles..at the moment the ride is a bit wollowy around corners because of the 18'' wheels/tyres but i'm sure once i find some 20's it will improve....you seem to get more attention from other drivers who let you pull out etc ..must be due to the massive 'presence' of the ffrr...there are loads of toys on this thing , which i like but i really must get the windows tinted and wheels done to be totally satisfied with it...

when you get it tinted and the wheels on, post some pics...

will do mate ...

hoppy, when I ordered my first new RRS, I didn't even have a test drive because it was a lease car negotiated online. The first time I drove one was when I picked it up. I knew I would love it though... I wasn't wrong.

I wonder what the difference in ride will be with a FFRR.

I'm going to book a test drive me thinks now...

They are WORLDS apart. The sport is nice, but very car like in the way it drives. The full fat will be like nothing else you've driven, I guarantee it!

The only problem it used to have (in my leadfooted opinion) was that the td6 wasn't the 'sportiest' of engines. Now that's gone it's a true legend. Pulls like a freight train. I'm only jealous of the supercharged owners, nothing else can touch it!  My Previous RR's!

I'm really intrigued now how the FFRR handles/drives... I'm sure i'll like it though.

I might have to "calm" my cornering down a bit then...

Cheers

the ffrr is big , iparked it in a maplins carpark yesterday and it towered over everything thing else there even a navara d40 which is fairly large....i have the tdv6 and like hoppy says its a bit slow on the uptake but once rolling theres no problem..

i have the tdv6

i know that... ....

I've done it myself.

Isn't the tdv6 in a discovery, as i was told when i got it wrong

Yes, and that sport thing too.
