Nice motor now owning a 4.2 RR and this being my first RR my next upgrade will be a 5.0SC when its time to change can not see myself buying anything other car other than a FFRR now.

Have fun Adam, driving and skiing/boarding and the rest  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Effortless cruise down to our rendezvous point in Beaune.

Total miles travelled 443

Real world mpg achieved 22.3mpg @ 77mph on cruise. Not bad at all!

Filled up with 23km range left and put in 19.86 gallons. Pretty low! Discovery 4 HSE

Beaune is great, especially the old buildings being lit up at night with colourful designs. We normally stop there on the way back from skiing. Next Friday, on the way down we will be staying in Chambery to meet up with the rest of our group.

Very brave to get so low on the range of fuel left in the tank. Is it really accurate? Is there any reserve left once you get to zero? This will be my first trip in the SC so I'm planning my fuel stops already!

Hope the skiing goes well  2012 5.0L S/C

We are heading to Lyon for the overnight. Used to stop at Dijon but would arrive at about 3pm with little to do, so seems a bit of a waste of an afternoon. So this time we are heading a little further on the first day, and hopefully can get to Les Arcs a bit earlier as we may miss some of the morning traffic around Albertville and Chambery.

Have just stumbled on a set of 19" wheels to fit the 4.4 which can have my scorp winters put on them for the trip as it sounds really snowy at the moment. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Lyon is always my overnighter on the way down - nice early start & miss all the traffic - usually on the mountain for around 10

Reims on the way home has always worked well for us too

Yep, in Reims Novotel on the way back too  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

^ is that the hotel on the other side of the roundabout to the big retail store [carrefour?] ... - .- -.

Tinqueux There are loads of hotels in the same area & filling up at the Carrefour in the morning is a nice little saver on the fuel.

I did the Novotel for years, but did the Ibis Budget this year and was pleasantly surprised - perfectly good enough for us arriving late & heading off first thing in the morning.

just managed to grab a set of cleap 19" 4.4tdv8 alloys off eBay, and have had my winters fitted to them. So all set  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Do you need socks/chains if you have winters fitted when you get to the 'equipements obligatoire' signs? 2012 5.0L S/C

^ you still need chains even with winter tyres, unless it has a small sign under which says 'pneus a neige admis' There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

It's not snowy at the moment. You definitely don't need snow chains or winter tyres to get here. Discovery 4 HSE
