Hi all:

A great forum, I love familiarizing myself with a new rig by browsing the forums, this one has so much technical and practical information, I have looked no further

Repeat LR Owner, first time RRS owner. just acquired this 2012 RRS SC in Orkney with Ivory/Ebony interior. Couldn't be happier. It has most every conceivable option including the RSE and the ebony headliner. Original owner never had anyone in the back seat, even the screens and remote still had protective plastics in place after 16,000 miles! I am a serial car flipper having owned NAS D90, LR3, LR4 and Evoque in the past 7 years along with a Mini Clubman and Golf R32.

I exercised massive restraint and good fiscal judgement in buying this pristine 2012 instead of taking the full hit on a 2014. I actually like the look of this better than the new one; but the interior on the 2014 is amazing! Best part is that my wife asked me to keep my 2012 Jeep Wrangler as a third car.

I finally have a car to compete with her X5 5.0 on the street. There is no comparison as to the lux appointment on the RRS vs her Teutonic mommy mobile! My only complaint is that it is outfitted with Michelin Latitude Diamaris which I am told are in the snow.

Enough for now, keep the great topics coming and thanks for listening! See you around the forum!

Welcome

Lovely looking standard RRS. I like the US spec cars.

I had just moved back to Australia as they were coming out. I owned a P38 while I lived there , one of the last of the series (2000 model). The used dealer had it on the lot for a while and thought he would never sell it. He did, at a low price! It served me well while we lived there. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Lovely unmolested 'truck' you have there, those wheels are only available on the Autobiography here, look great with that colour.
Is it only certain states that you don't need a front plate then?

Cheers

Codfather- Some states require the front plate, others do not. Here in Missouri it is required, the previous owner had it titled in Michigan which does not require it. The local LR dealer has one on order for me and it should arrive in the next few days.

Seems a shame to defile the front bumper just to satisfy the local constabulary; but no need to risk the harassment. If they are going to earn some money from me, let them work for it!

A good weekend to all

Cheers
