Sold the Freelander.......

.....in part exchange for a new one!!!! Whistle

After all my little niggles and hating the manual.....had a good chat with sales about my disappointment and swapped it for another Black Edition but an Auto at very very little cost to me after having a cracking deal!!

Such a transformation into an Auto, completely turns the car into what it should be in my opinion but I'm not about to start the debate!!

So yes.....'63 plate bought, pick it up start of Sept!!

I know what my right hand is for Censored but as for my left hand - that's to change gear with.

I had an auto on test and I was sold straight away!! Very big grin and such a nice drive compared to my manual.

And yes.....I can drive manuals, very well, just don't like the MY13 box/clutch. I can see why the LR experience lads have autos.

It's going to be a long week!!

- De chroming booked. Whistle
- Mates unit booked for full detail and for it to be James spec'd!
- Spoiler and sticker already removed, spare sticker at the ready!

Just need to do a bulb swap on my next set of 4 off and I'm good! 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto
