I was around 8 years old and my Dad took me on a jaunt. We were joining a guided walk into the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, with a difference! We first had to jump into a 110 LWB LR, be transported to a remote location, then walk most of the day, to be picked up in said vehicles. All courtesy of the local authority ranger team.

Having lusted over Land Rovers since then, and my cars slowly becoming more LR like, last Thursday I got a stunning FL2 GS in Galway Green with a sunroof and tow bar. WOW!!!!
It drives beautifully, has superb comfort, running costs are no more than my former car (a rusty Fiat Sedici!), and it says Land Rover on the bonnet.

I love it ❤️🚗

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

That looks very nice indeed! Congratulations

My first experience was a surprise trip around the Gaydon LR off road course, as a passenger, in a Defender and a RRS in 2011. I've been with them ever since!

nice colour and sounds a good spec for a GS, with the bars and pan roof.

my first experience of LR was as an Army Cadet in the 80's being driven to annual camp down south in a LWB Series 3 soft top, with sankey trailer attached.

thought I was the mutts nuts driving down the motorway sat at the back of the open canopy with the fumes and noise ....

and it says Land Rover on the bonnet.

Yes it does but really its a much more reliable 4WD Ford  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

My first Land Rover was a series 2 short wheel base which I took my caravan up to Scotland, took 3 days to get to Kinloss to the RAF base where my sister and brother in law were based. I wish had some ear defenders on due to the droning noise 50mph was its top speed and water proofs as the seals around the door were useless as every time a large vehicle went by in the rain I got drenched, the wife and kids loved it seeing me dripping. Freelander 2 TD4 GS 2011 Manual Satorini Black (Current)

Hi everyone,

I have been a long-time lurker, and am former owner of a 2004 TD5 Discovery II, and am based in Kenya.

I bought a 2010 FL2 HSE in Galway Green (only 32k miles) which I am speccing up with the following before exporting into Kenya in the coming weeks:

Front Lamp Guards
Rear Lamp Guards
Roof Rails (Panoramic)
Cross Bar Kit
Roof Mounted Luggage Carrier
Front Protection Bar

Out of interest, roughly how much does it cost to export a car to Kenya and are there import duties etc? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

I too have a Galway Green Fl2, an SD4 HSE.

Dubba, are you selling your 19" wheels & tyres, with you changing to 17's? They're the very wheels I've been looking for!
