Just got to say that I love getting in and driving my FF Td6 even if it’s just driving it 5 minutes up to the shops or school run.
There is something special about these cars even though they cost £££’s to be keeping running, it still doesn’t detract from me wanting to be in it as much as I can.

Beyond any shadow of a doubt it's a nice place to be when driving about and I can see why they get such a loyal following despite the shoddy design and quality in places, there is something about them for sure. BMW i3 Electric Car

Well, I’ve done 520 miles in 7 months and just paid £565 road tax. I just love it 🤣🤣.

I’ve had it 4 and a half years, which is normally about the time I change, but I love it every time I drive it and can’t think of anything else I want.

...I normally pootle about central London, average speed -5mph and it's so serene. You can feel the torque from my 4.4TDV8 at as little as 1000rpm and it makes traffic work so effortless. And tonight for a change I gave it an Italian tune up, with a bit of sand mode - spectacular!

. Cheers, Greg

Yes, Swipe, you’ve hit the nail on the head there. Range Rovers are lovely vehicles to drive and travel in.......and they quickly become addictive.

3 years ago I bought a 2004 L322 with the idea of it living a pampered, semi-retired life as a second car For me doing 2,000 miles per year. It didn’t turn out that way! My family and I enjoyed it so much that it became the first choice whenever we were going any distance at the weekends or on holidays. So it’s actually done 20,000 miles in 2.5 years (it was in storage for six months due to a gearbox issue - now sorted by Stuart at Birch 4x4 in Liverpool). In the time we’ve had it we have been lucky enough to have some brilliant trips in it - to Devon a lot towing a twin axle wobble box, to the Lake District regularly, to Edinburgh, to the Isle of Thanet in Kent, and the North York Moors very often. They are fantastic cars. I had a 2015 ML350 as my main daily driver, but only kept it six months, because nice though it was and perfectly reliable, it just couldn’t compare to an 11 year older Range Rover.

My family all roll their eyes about my fixation with “the old Range Rover” but they love it to really.

So, yes, Swipe. There is definitely something about Range Rovers!

All the best

Glad people feel the same as me these are great cars despite the build quality in places, someone asked me the other day if I would I get another one.
I had to think for a few minutes... but said yeah I would, I’ve had plenty of BMW’s and Mercedes over the years but really enjoy getting into my FF every time.
The only other car i’ve owned that gave me this much pleasure was my old BMW E30 M3 (amazing car wish I still had it).
Long live the FULLFAT 😊😊 2004 Autobiography TD6 Java Black

Don’t get me started on wishing I still had my 1995 M5. I think about it often and it was featured in a magazine. No good in snow though.

I have never owned a car that instills so much anxiety for every journey you take. Never again.

Rear wheel drive + snow = E60 545 sat in my drive for 2 weeks, when I couldn’t get it out, during a severe winter about 8 years ago. Got me into FF ownership  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Haven't driven mine since March! Still sorn

Had mine for two weeks now and covered just over 700 miles!

I just love being in it, even with my other half driving. She's not particularly keen on driving but even she likes driving the Range Rover.

It's a lovely place to be, so relaxing with loads of get-up-and-go if you want/need it.

I plan to keep mine for a good many years.

Dunc. The life you have is the only one you'll get; make the most of it.

Cannot get my wife to drive it, refuses point blank. That is a bummer if you end up in a pub
