loaded mine up on Friday with camping gear and the dog and drove from Mansfield up to Settle for the weekend.

My son was walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks with a large group and I did the support for them which involved loading the roofbox, the boot and the back seats with everybody's spare kit and meeting them at checkpoints so they could change their soggy socks and grab a bite to eat under the shelter of the boot lid. None of them could believe how much kit it swallowed up but were thankful of the sit down on the boot lip and staying dry

the dog was consigned to the front seat so both front seats, armrests, cubby box, centre console, dash and even the inside of the windscreen are covered in mud.... but it will all wipe clean

Now you see if you had a FFRR they could have watched TV while eating lunch  Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

no phone reception at all

and for some reason I couldn't even get FM radio or DAB either - stupid crappy Alpine systems, Meridian system would have worked fine probably

doubt I could have got TV reception up there either

Played golf and lunched at Gualta Par3, about 50miles south of French border on Costa Brava. 18 holes plus three course lunch with wine...28euro!

Swallowed 4 x 2.4 Mtr lengths of timber inside the car, with the tailgate and windows all closed... they wouldn't fit inside SWMBO's F-Pace, and it's raining bucket loads here!!

Yet another reason I am very happy with my Freelander 2!!  Lexus RX450H - 500 mile a week commuter- I just couldn’t trust in a newer RRS or DS for that….
2009 Freelander 2 HSE... 155K miles, we’ve done 135k of those, has done brilliantly on the commute and staying firmly put as car two in the household
2002 Jaguar XK8 Coupe... fun, fast, ours for 12 years and owes us nothing - so staying with us too…

Oh great. Dropped my phone on the laptop while trying to answer a call (which I missed anyway) and now see I have posted the same thing twice...

Is there a moderator in the house? Please delete this with my apologies...  Lexus RX450H - 500 mile a week commuter- I just couldn’t trust in a newer RRS or DS for that….

Finally got round to fitting the new alternator pulley I bought about 6 months ago! The one way bearing was seized, as I suspected.

2007 Land Rover Freelander2 I6 hse Auto

Not today but a trip from Stroud to Thurso last week and back on Sunday. Over 1,300 miles without a single hiccup. Such a relaxed drive

ps - 2 salmon to my rod and 4 to my pals plus a little off road work in the wilds of Caithness. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

MY 15 SD4 SE Auto Orkney Grey with colour coded Bumper Door Mouldings

Loaded up the beach clobber, drove 600m to Llafranc on the Costa Brava, had breakfast in the crossanteria on the seafront, three hours on the beach in 22c and read the Daily Torygraph. Drove back 600m to the caravan and then on to the Golf driving range 21miles north at Gualta. Yes, I know it's tough, but someone has to do it.

Toughest part of that Paul4751 must have been the 600 metre drive? 600 metres??

Yes I know it sounds ridiculous to drive 600m, but unfortunately my wife has secondary breast cancer that has re-appeared in the spine, and she can't walk further than a hundred meters without pain. Also there's a difference of 100m in elevation in that short distance. It's not all bad; we're playing golf tomorrow with the aid of mini golf buggy, and I do her drives off the tee, and she does the pitches and putts. Just like at home except it's sunny and warm!

Moved it from one end of the drive to t’other to make room for our DiL’s D5.......well they are quite big  Regards
