Spent some money there then John? :lol:

I prefer the P38s if I'm honest. I think they were better looking. Though obviously not as new.

The P38 is too closely related to the classic for my liking, the characteristics, problems and gremlins all seem to have moved over from one to the other and it really did put me off.
This on the other hand is a completely different beast, the ride is almost car like, the cabin quiet and plenty of toys to keep me occupied for a long time. Rust isn't an issue on these vehicles either unlike the P38 and with the TD6 engine the fuel consumption should be a heck of a lot better.

Faults aside I was purely talking looks.

Are these still permanent 4wd?

I am officially jealous!

I've always wanted a rangie, test drove one a few years back and was ready to hand over cash when for some crazy reason I thought 'maybe I'd better show my wife first' so went away and came back with her for a test drive. Sadly she took one look, didn't like it and walked away :cry:
They are now on the list of cars I'm banned from viewing!

My wife came home last night and I gave her the good news...."I sold the Range Rover honey :shock: " to which the reply was "that was good, so we are now a car less :D "

"Err no, we now have another Range Rover :twisted: "

When she saw it she actually liked it :shock: :shock:

Large, new, dark coloured car.

I see many hours of:
polish
stand back and admire
just a bit more to get that last swirl
stand back and admire
have cup of tea and admire again
sealant
stand back and admire
wax
stand back and admire



visit physio to get back straight again

And it's my 40 too, or what's left of it.

It looks like my efforts paid off with cleaning the interior. The smell of stale dog is gone and the Gliptone leather treatment has given it a nice leather scent inside.
This is now a nice place to be. Just the exterior to do now

Strange that when I saw the pics you put up before that I didn't think 'now that looks dirty'.

I do now though. :lol: Much cleaner and shinier now.

Unbelievable just how much muck was inside Chris. I was told the previous owner was a dog owner but I think it was a sheep farmer :shock:

Now that's a lovely car. Sensible wheels, too. Great choice.
