Collection day!! It’s finally here....

On the train trying to circumnavigate the floods / cancelled services, so as long as I don’t get chucked off for not being on my pre-booked train I should be driving home in my new to me and first Range Rover. Beyond excited! Picking some new wheels up on the way home too

Nice, enjoy the RR!

Hopefully your first drive home will be less eventful than mine - broke down on the motorway at midnight. Lovely. 09 RR Westminster 3.6TDV8 - Stornoway Grey / Black interior - now gone (sad face)

Got to drive from Manchester cross country to Sheffield, through some of the areas hit by floods, will have the right car for it now. How deep can you go in them?

Just on train 2 of 4 at Birmingham. Going around the houses to get there but it’s looking promising so far

Looking to hearing your thoughts on the drive home as well as some extra pictures once you've had a chance to enjoy it. Hope the trains work out OK for you.

Would that be the A57 Snake Pass ?

Used to be one of my favourite roads until they slapped a 50mph speed limit on it because too many bikers were killing themselves on it. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6

Home safe and sound I’m over the moon with it. 160 miles cross country, towns and motorways and it was a delight through them all. My favourite bit was a minor flood / some Standing water coming across the Peaks, it carved through it like it wasn’t there. Any other car would have been pulled about by the water, not this (can you tell this is my first 4x4? )

Anyway, I’ve got a days pass as the missus is out so the whole day to play. First thing for the 21” wheels (big thanks to Paul 👍🏼) and then some interior cleaning and freshening up. I can smell a slight foggy smell coming through so it’s obviously had dogs in recently. Interior is in great condition so must have travelled in the boot.

Anyway, time to get on playing. Quick picture at its new home....
