    I spent maybe 30 mins out and back - and I didn't want to get out! I also didn't want to drive it back into the car yard as there was all those Disco's waiting to be crumpled by the anti-stall feature (just kidding).

    I am going out to Dubbo to pick it up rather than having it delivered to Sydney - I want that trip home in it!
    Cheers,
    Col.

    dubbo dealer great too

    just my two bobs' worth re Dubbo or Clancy Motors-- we bought two cars from them a year or so ago and they were absolutely tops--great knowledge as main fellow is an ex UK LR man with MOD background, and their pricing was best we could find by a long way. Only problem is the the 110 we got has now has had so many issues, is on its third set of axles, gearbox been out twice etc but the 130 has not missed a beat--guess the issue is varying quality from UK not the dealer. Go Dubbo!

    So -
    1. The "ex UK LR man with MOD background" is the guy that made the difference - he can really drive them and also has a great understanding of what people are looking for. His advice has been outstanding so far!
    2. I can only hope the 110 I get is like the 130 you have - I can't blame the dealer for how the vehicle was produced - only how they handle fixing the issues the vehicle has (touch wood my Red one is OK)

    Thanks to all for the positive comments - I head out to Dubbo on Wednesday as planned to pick it up - can't wait!!!!

    I am sure the trip home will add to the experience - I have around 350k of interesting up and down hill bitumen with some hard dirt road works that I know of from the last trip - will just take it easy.

    I am sure the handover with Antony will answer a lot of my questions.
