First impressions are of a Freelander, but ridiculously smooth and quiet on the road!

Nearly out of battery so more to follow once I find some charge from somewhere but in the meantime, great to meet you Dave ?

However above 3000 rpm, Jesus :)

I did see it up for grabs but could not think of a narrative to justify buying it!

That looks well posh, nicely school day collected. Were you back in time for the bell?

Its been a good day out for me, trains, tram and a new Land Rover product!

Enjoying car collection this way saves me waking up in the morning with another car on the drive!

PO collection is not until 4pm so I will wait until this afternoon to post my CX throttle cable to Venhill who say they can make me a new one.

Carry out the plan.....................

 

Ooh is that Venhill of Dorking???
