Come on, lets be having you all outed We have one.

Yes, us too. Good for us since we have dogs & kids, neither being particularly hotel friendly.

Still have tropical holidays whenever we can though.

We have one.
Or should I say the Explorer dealer has our Buccaneer Caravelle, it is in water at every window at a tender age of <3 years.

Sore point.

3 weeks to main holiday.

Will we have it back? Highly unbloodylikely as Explorer havent even worked out the problem yet!

Sold when I bought the 2010 .... hadn't used it for 2 years, so seemed a waste! Land Rover Addict

Yep

Bailey Senator Series 6 Carolina


And the TDV8 could break the speed limit for cars, with no problem at all.

I have always had one, best family holidays ever. Only ever stayed on CL's 5 van sites, got close and bonded with kids so well (nothing else to do obviously) Now have a Swift Challenger and RRS's best tow car ever. Hope V8 FF going to be better still

Ooo Snap!

Love ours - Three kids and two dogs it a life saver. I don't like the idea of flying... Can't wait for the big hols not long now!

We should have a forum scrumdown some time, could probably muster enough of us to make a "Stand" at one of the shows as the FFRR was most under represented at Driffield, dunno about the other events.. Or maybe the Royal County Show (Is it still running?) seeing as it has so many different attractions.

Anyway the FFRR is truely awesome when it comes to Touring & Towing. Really came in to its own last year. Its like cruising the fast lane on the sofa

That's the bit I'm looking forward to. The D3 V8 was good but I had to work the gears a lot to keep it in the power band. Hopefully with the TDV8 the grunt should come from lower down in the revs.

If there's going to be a scrumdown then count me in

We have a Frankia i820RD Luxury Range Motorhome which cost the earth but is used for a full six week European Tour every summer as well as Spanish Easters and Skiing occassionally. Evey luxury including Sky TV and proper radiator Central Heating or Hotel Style Air Con depending on the weather.... Oh and 7 x 7.6 Super Bed

We have a Vanmaster 640 fixed bed for the two of us.

Managed over 100 nights away last year.

The RR is mainly used for towing, 75% of the mileage, leaving on Thursday for three weeks in France.

There is a picture in the gallery.

We have an abbey Vogue 620 and the 4.4 tows great,

but we are thinking of a motorhome and that means the ffrr might have to go,

fancy the motorhome but do not want to loose ffrr do not really know which way to go ?

I like the idea of a camper.. but I like to go exploring to. Packing up camp and trying to find somewhere to park the camper to go and see the sights can be a mare... and towing a car behind kind of defeats the object.

This summer we are making our way to Biarritz on the South West Coast of France, been there a few times.

Last Summer was Lake Como and back via Interlaken in Switzerland. I'd love to do Switzerland again but for a longer stay to justify the car & caravan car tax £40 each!

We also do a few shows and unofficial landrover gatherings in the UK , I prefer the unoffical meets , cracking people landrover nutters

My dad's got one...........

But he is nearly 70 so I suppose that's understandable.  The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

The Camper/Motorhome problem is not so bad really. When you want to park in a nice site and see the area you just hire a car for a few days. If you want to see a specific town you park in a nearby "Aire" and walk into town. If you are near a resort or tourist area you can always cycle on cycle routes and then there is the age old art of using your legs and walking

....this feels like some kind of confession.....but I've been having thoughts.....about caravans....and towing...

maybe because bambino numero uno is due later this year.
