I've been around LRs for 40 years and done all sorts of club off road trials etc.

If I wasn't so useless with technology is post a picture of Eva tonight... The only thing that is clean is the number plate! We've just got back in after leaving the house at 8 this morning. We've done farms, fields and even a dual carriage way today. Lol!

It's never failed me yet but every time I press the button I wonder if it's going to start Actually just come back from a round trip from Dorset to Canterbury, trunk roads plus motorways (65mph ish) plus local travel. 420 miles overall 46mpg . can't be bad |

Absolutely right, I used to own Citroens in the 90's when they were interesting and innovative cars (hydraulic and active suspension , steerable headlights etc) then they got bought out by Peugeot and turned into a boring commodity supplier. At the time I had three Citroen XM company cars - I would never have had the nerve to own one myself and even the Citroen dealers were scared of them. For the last 12 years I have bought LandRovers with my own money but always have that feeling of insecurity - there must be a cure for this. |

Never had a feeling of insecurity owning a Land Rover, my very first was a D3 and it was the only one to let me down, should've put me off but didn't, moved to the Fl2. Now awaiting LR No.7

Had an LR of one sort or another for over 30 years. Had a Classic for 14 of those. FL2 for the last 5 years and it's the best yet! I love it I think because you know whatever the weather or whatever the road throws at you, it will always cope. Brilliant. |

My first was a RR in 1984, brand spanking new. I loved the vehicle but the problems it had, number plates falling off, seats falling to bits, radiator replaced etc...... Kept it a couple of years to impress my girlfriend who loved to drive it, but once married moved over to more reliable BMW and vowed would never buy LR again!
