United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey
Treated myself to a new car!

But I still have the FL2 Wink

Traded in my Signum and bought an Insignia Elite 2.0 CDTi 160 Automatic.

Although it had leather, it was a bit dark, so had the centres re-trimmed. Got the 19's, DVD Navi, Park Pilot and pretty much everything else!

I have to say, Vauxhall have come along way in the quality stakes with the Insignia, It matches and in some ways betters the Freelander 2 in build quality! Very pleased with it!

Scotland 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Buckingham Blue

I like the shape of that car.

I think most car nakers have come a long way in the last few years.


I was sorely tempted by the new Skoda Superb 2.0 TDi 4x4 Elegance recently.

It's got all the kit that a top end VW/Audi has (and most of it is the same kit) but 2 thirds the price!
never thought I'd say that but must be getting old. Whistle

Point made, sod this PC correct language. I remember when a Skoda was slightly better than a Lada. I wouldn't go for Peugot, Seat etc. just as bad. Ford, VW and the likes are too bland, oh I feel another topic coming on.

Good job your not earning average wage because there would be no cars that you could afford that you would be prepared to drive. Laughing
Lets not forget who owned Land Rover when the current product range was developed ermmmm Ford. Oh and that Disco TDV6 has a Ford/Peugeot lump.
I must admit the old Skoda was so bad it won its class in the RAC Rally something like 24 times in 25 years. Laughing 2009 FL2 GS

Not yet, going to wait for the easter break and give it a good going over. Done the FL2 in super natural and it's excellent!

Just used the last bit of DDJ Purple haze on the Insignia. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
