I quite fancy a 205GTi. Always wanted one but couldn't afford one when they first came out.

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

They always look really dangerous to me Jay. I followed a couple through the centre of Birmingham a couple of weeks ago, no one wanted to try overtaking them as they were weaving all over the road.

The real reason for me having the motorbike is to save time travelling to and from work. Normal travelling time through the rush hour is usually over an hour to cover just under twenty miles in the RRS. On the bike that comes down to about forty minutes. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

I've never taken my bike test so I'm not allowed to ride anything bigger than a 125cc.

I have thought about doing it a few times but something else always comes along which takes my interest. On top of that the powers that be are changing the bike test again in the coming months, making it a lot harder for anyone to pass. So I'll stick to retaking my CBT every two years and commuting on my little Suzuki. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE.

I was thinking of going for it range round a few places and one guy P***ed me off said to him i can't get a week off work! and asked if i can come in one day a week and do the test and what not that way round also said i'll be happy to pay more if i have to!


He said to me not that's not that way it work's you come in on the Monday you ride about on one of my bikes for a week then you go for the test on Saturday



What a t Censored could have had more money out of me but didn't want it so forget him!!!

Put me off after that and place the space thing really don't have the space and you can't keep a bike like that out on the drive!

One day! Very Happy RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I don't own one but always fancied the Volvo C30 D5 as a small economic runabout - cracking small coupe, modern and they are now available 2nd hand. Has the very good Volvo 2.5l 5cylinder TDi engine (although there is a less economical and more fun 2.5Turbo petrol version with the Focus ST engine in it). Ideal if there are only ever 2 of you travelling as although the 2 rear seats are adult sized, getting to them is a bit difficult for adults!
My cheap run-about is my Defender90 Tdi300, but seeing as it uses the same amount od fuel as the RRS it's not really an economy car, but all the other running costs are peanuts - servicing at an approved LR service outlet is £30 an hour, parts are cheap and easy to get hold of if you need them. AND you can take it places that you could only dream of taking your FFRR or RRS to 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
