Nearly did it

collecting my car from my local dealer in Leeds and driving around in a RRS Black in White

nearly bought a Grey MY14 RRS 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography with the highly sought after pano roof, could have driven off the forecourt tonight too, only had been to Portugal and back 3000miles on the clock iirc £92000, which is £5000 over list price of it new, but they wouldn't offer me what i wanted on mine so i walked out and left it, i also only had 3 credit cards on me not the 4 i would have needed to max out:lol:

Apparently the bloke bought it till his 3.0L HSE arrived, which is also bought, just to put him on till his 3.0L Dynamic arrives

I think grey or Red next

The dark grey one today looked great, satin/Matt black wheels look mint, think it had cream interior with a darker maybe black section

@MW
I thought it was nice, only did about 30 miles it all day, seats loads better, and growled and wizzed when needed, but found a few niggles

Satnav screen angle, cast shadows watching tv whilst waiting for my caravan to be delivered back to storage
The dark gloss wood finish of the centre console showed greasy finger prints and smears
The boot was slow opening, do it by hand it opened 6" and then went slow
Rattled when bass too high
Dynamic stiffened ride, (not too bad)
Normal felt it was vague
10 Quid still said it was empty Laughing

Agreed on the niggles Thumbs Up

Gloss wood is awful to keep clean Embarassed

Sub woofer been replaced on mine and still rattles - had I paid the extortionate upgrade cost would be spitting rather than just annoyed - only turned up half way for now Evil or Very Mad

I dont use the dynamic - I find normal hard enough - I am even thinking of using 19" wheels - I like my comfort now with all the speed cameras and limits it's hard to appreciate the RRS fully Sad

It laughs in the face of £10 Laughing

I have to say its a lot nicer than MY10 - that made me feel like I should of bought a FL2 again but now not so much Cool Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

If I bought one, I feel I would be selling short as new look nice

Family life means I am hoping for discovery, suit me more due to size, if not I'll have to stick with the FL2's

The sloping roof eats into boot space on RRS and new looks even smaller - Disco is more practical Bow down Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
