Hi CG
Well if you count the "tick boxes" in the spec lists it hits more of them than the SE, but hey I don't care, I'd just wanted to answer the "Model" question in the profile page correctly i.e: "Newport". And I'd have liked to have answered the model year and colour questions accurately too. Oh well,cannot have everything in life can we.

NO PROBLEM

Just give me the date and time of flight arrival (I have ski/snowboard rack up top) and will take 3 adults.

Round trip from here in Kantone Glarus to Meribel FR via Aeroport Geneva 996kms (622mls).

The fee can be discussed privately via PM upon confirmation of arrival date

There's 11 of us though so it will cost a fortune with 4 round trips  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

No it won't - 8 will still get the rotten cold stinky mini bus and take an age to get there.

On the other hand, you and two lovely ladies will travel in serene joy .

I'll need to sort out the 2 ladies whilst flying there and The other 10 lads in the stinky bus




TBH it's all sorted via a skitransfer company for €90each return

thanks for the offer though  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

€90 each - the mini bus business is very profitable I see

-o0o-

If you (or anyone else) goes skiing in eastern Switzerland and flies into Zürich and wants a decent transfer then let me know - I may have the time for a small fee to be of service

Note: none smokers only

Hello to you all - I have recently been given the enviable task of sourcing a FL2 for my father who lives in the Highlands of Scotland.

I have seen a few as it stands but have my heart set on a nice Izmir blue XS with extras and warranty that I am hoping to collect on Sunday.

I am very impressed with these cars (my Dads currently running a FL1 ) so he should be over the moon with my choice.

Hello again and thanks for the info I have pillaged so far!!

fl1 to 2 is a huge leap , you will do well not to impress him  At work

Done the deed!

We went in for an SE and came out with an HSE - classic feature creep.

We've now added a 1yr old F2 HSE auto in Stornaway Grey to the household Land Rover collection. The plan was that my wife would drive it and I'd stick to my 110 (which was our family car up until last week). I have to say, though, that I find myself looking for excuses to take the F2

Amazing car! It practically drives itself - I'd forgotten what effortless motoring was like. It even goes above 80 (urr, I mean, according to the brochure, Officer).

Dont forget you can recline the backrest on modern landies , sono need to drive with your chest against the steering wheel any more , and you don't have to open the window for elbow room  At work

It feels very claustrophobic with the window shut

I've also noticed a strange set of controls in the middle that seem to make music come out. I have something similar in the Defender but I can't detect any music above the background noise.

Welcome to the crazy club alantd Did the same as you a couple of years ago - the planned SE became a HSE Stornoway - Great car, hope you will be as satisfied as we are in two years time  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Hi, just bought a 2007 (07) XS in black. 25,000 mls. Love this car. My last LR (a few cars ago) was a 2004 Discovery but the FL2 is so much nicer to drive..

My hobbies involve boats and off-road bikes so need to be able to tow the toys on & off beaches and up and down country lanes, plus normally a 3 hour drive in both directions. Reckon the Freelander is the ideal tool.

Looks a treat too.

Expect the odd niggle from my pride and joy (not to mention the dealers) , so I 'm sure the forum will be a god send. Look forward to participating
