I had quite a few Jag sovereigns then one day was given a Classic when mine was in for service and that was it SWMBO wouldn't have the Jag back so we have been Range Rovers ever since so it sold itself |

Hmm, I was thinking about an F Pace when the time to get rid of the fatty comes - Iām not that keen on the 405 shape (although I do like them in red) - Iād only want a proper supercharged F though - are you saying Iād be disappointed? |

Based on my own experience, yes. Thd F pace is a nice car and mine was a top spec Portfolio trim 3.0 v6 diesel. But within weeks of ownership I realised Iād made a mistake. You donāt get anything like the same experience driving one as you do a FFRR. |

Ultimately it's your money and no-one else's so any choice on what to spend it on is yours too!

Sorry Merchy, but to answer your question, NO you can't justify buying a FFRR!

My other half instigated our purchase(s), we got a border collie and it wasnāt going to be fitting in her 350Z or my 335d saloon!

Could I justify buying mine? Certainly not! I bought mine to scratch an itch. Intention was to give it a year. The missus said NO to moving it on and, coming up to a week or so before 10 years of ownership...... š¤Agree with Merchy about letting other folk out at junctions but I really have to be in a good mood š Previous cars:

I had a conversation years ago with our accountant about a certain car I fancied at the time, his words have stuck with me for yearsā¦ā¦ādonāt sit in your rocking chair in old age thinking āwhat ifāā¦ā Simple, if you fancy one, buy it. I had an X5 for 5 years & couldnāt fault her, never had any issues & cost peanuts to runā¦ā¦butā¦..I fancied a FFRRā¦..moans & groans from those who never owned one but had heard the horror storiesā¦..did I listen?ā¦..nopeā¦.went out & bought āwhat I wantedā simple as that. Have to admit, I spent more on her in the first year than I did in 5 years with the X5 but sheās sorted now & what a beast she is, love her to bits.
