It's posh inside

It makes me a happy chappy with a smile on my face

That's what I said in my post, but the option is not there for it to be so

Anyway
1) It makes me a happy chappy with a smile on my face

2) It's the caravaner's sensible choice
3) There's no other competition in its class
4) Because it has a great Auto box and I'm biased

Because I thought I should downsize from a RRS (ie my other half suggested I ought to 'cash in' on an expensive car which I didn't use much.) The FL2 is almost as good...... If I'd never had the RRS I'd think the FL2 was great, way better than FL1, of which I had two - both of which I thought were great at the time!

Because, the Defender has not moved with the times (and is also the biggest thieving pikey magnet on 4 wheels), so the GS was the best allrounder at the point the Defender should be at. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
