Hi Ronnie
I was beginning to think this was not a forum I wanted to be involved in as I seem to be so far outside the spectrum but hey now I have seen your reply I feel at home!!

I've just hit 50, but decided that I'm going to get younger from now on, so I'm 48. Had 6 Range Rovers up to now from 1982 to 2002. The RRS was by way of a slight change, and I'm really happy with it.
I'm a self employed oilfield consultant and spend a lot of time abroad.
I'm happily divorced and have a new partner who is great.
I refused to pay 446 pounds for a tow hook for the RRS and instead spent 3,000 pounds for a LR Defender 110 CSW to tow my sh*t around. It's also handy for lugging half my sons rugby team and kit around.
I've done 2 LRE days and going on a Welsh Green Lane weekend next month. Not sure if we're using LR or RRS yet - probably RRS for reliability and comfort.
I've got a classic Mini Cooper which needs constant attention and when I feel the need for speed, a Honda VFR 800 VTEC. Did have a BMW MINI too, but that went in the divorce.
I'm not as wealthy as some, and after the divorce, you could say I'm not as wealthy as I once was, but I'm happy.
