Default Last day for me

I'm going back to the dark side

My Audi has been traded in for a Land Rover Discovery 4

It's extra to get a tow pack on it - a Land Rover without towing capability, that's like a burger wit no onions

I'll keep an eye on this Forum from time to time

Sorry to see you 'go', but maybe a brief appearance as a 'support vehicle' at the Scottish meet in June?

Thanks Jim,

I could pitch up and drag you guys back out the scenery when someone gets a bit heavy with the right foot!

Are you expecting a bad winter then? Sorry too to see you go. All the best.

I always expect a bad winter and most times we get one.

I've had an A8 in the car pool for 6 odd years now. Started with an '02 4.2 and finished with an '08 3.0TDi LWB.

That was one of the best cars I've ever had but I don't keep them forever.

I've had lots of LRs but want to try a modern one for a while...... I may be back

Heavy right foot doesn't always mean binning it in the scenery... The right foot (or left), can also be used for the middle pedal when appropriate

Are you looking to get rid of your Ross tech cable?
