the D5 V50 is great, just been in my brothers tonight, for all of 10 minutes to the pub and back,

He had the 2.0D in SE version nice car, will go well with the pipe and slippers

Like I say this demo is the R-Design, all the R-Design trim is quite striking AND (CG) its a metalic black finish!

It probably looks stunning when just cleaned, but thats not going to be very often if I own one!!!

It rides on 45 section tyres and sports suspension which means it feels VERY different to the FL2. Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

The 'S' is in my range by about £0.99 !!!! (thats on my leasing list)

Have had a look at one, very, very, nice but fuel economy is very poor compared with our beloved FL2 .... covering 25K miles a year on a 14p mileage allowance I have to think about these things .... Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

The problem is that Ford residuals are CRAP, which means I can get far more car for my money by NOT choosing a Ford. The new Mondeo is a very nice car with lots of good features ... but for me it is relatively expensive.

Which is why I'm looking at Volvo or Jag, but as I've commented elsewhere Jag pre sales service is also dreadful ...

Other option is Mazda, the new 6 looks stunning and the specs are great BUT they don't do a diesel automatic which is the combination I've been promising myself for years .... I know there ARE plenty of other diesel/auto out there but not they are not on my list.

As a corporate 'wage slave' I have no option but to accept the limitations of the car scheme. Though I have to admit the scheme I am in is highly cost effective, which is why I accept the limited choice of cars. Stornoway Grey GS ...

Post the list of cars on here and we'll all vote on them. The one with the most votes is the one you'll get

Buy British and support the British ecconomy. Now is the time to really consider which direction you send your hard earned cash. Even buy buying a British built Honda is better than buying Swedish  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Found in just 1 article:

"History and economics have told us, facing a global financial crisis, trade protectionism is not a solution, but a poison to the solution...."

The British newspaper Daily Telegraph has recently published a commentary: "Protectionism is, in the end, no protection at all", citing the U.S. Great Depression in 1930s as an example, saying that protectionism could not solve the crisis, the protectionists would only hurt themselves in the end.




So being Belgian, I bought a British car, plan to go on journey in Scotland (again) and even ordered my new lightbulbs from a British company.
(shouldn't do that ?)

So being British, I moved to Norway where I pay my taxes, spend most my cash, take my holidays (mainly), but own a British built instead of a German built (the only other real alternative) vehicle. - dont know where that leaves me  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
