Yep. I've managed to hold onto it (not from a lack of trying from the missus for me to get rid of it)

I think its the perfect compliment to a TVR. I'm heading up to Liverpool next weekend so loooking forward to the drive now (it was going to be in the Alfa 156 that I've traded in for the RR)

I've just got a Vogue a few weeks ago, 4.4 petrol, still getting use to putting £80 of fuel in it, still its only money.

Has anyone looked into the 2006 upgrade, I've been told the 06 bumpers and lights just bolt on, giving you an instant 2006 vehicle. Ideal if you've a private plate.

Hi Phil - What sort of miles do you get for your £80. and what sort of money are the bumpers
Cheers

I hadn't thought of that - Perhaps I could appeal to Gordon Brown for some Tax relief as I'm helping the British Economy (never mind the fuel costs!!)

We get 18mpg around town, but 20-21mpg on the motorway at 90mph...which i think isn't too bad

Very nice indeed. I need one of these to tow my horse box. When I get a horse!

I've been for a demo ride in an RR Sport with some guy who runs an off-roading school in the West Country. I seem to recall shutting my eyes and screaming as we descended a vertical slope. Great fun though.

Don't forget, you are allowed to get your tyres muddy occasionally!

Of course

A few of us London Rangie owners are planning on doing just that!
