It was by far the best one I drove and is very tidy. Mrs was/is impressed and I don't think it will be long before it's annexed and I'm dirving a Mitsi Colt around.

Good one Cliff. Impressing the mrs is a big tick. Congrats. I am still enjoying getting used to a 21st century Land Rover.

I look forward to the pics.

It's gone form all adds (they must be confident it will sail thru inspection) so I can't post any pics yet. Sadly this is the most expensive car I have bought topping my last disco. No buyers remorse!:D

Well done Cliff, though if your wife has driven it, you have probably lost it! Ha ha. It happened to my brother-in-law with their new Disco. Good luck with the purchase.

Yes, boat was the same....once I told her it had a toilet.....SWMBO green lit it straight away.
I'm hoping that they can also prove the belts were done. The salesman said "I guarrentee it's been done / good" to every question I asked (and my Mrs was there as a wittnes).
I will prolly go for some extended warranty to cover my butt as long as I don't have to service at the same place I bought.

When we got the D1 she refused to dirve it. "Too Big:mad:" she said. Then her car was put of the road for a week while I sorted it and she had to drive the D1:mad:. Not long after it was " can you move your work ute? I need to go shopping". I informed SWMBO that her car was on the verge, not blocked in at all. "Oh, I thought I'd take the Landy....:angel:". 3 weeks later the Toyota was sold:D.
We only sold the D1 as she was driving 2km to the train stn ever day and back which was going to kill it.
So yes, I fully anticipate many instances of not being able to find my keys as the car has gone on a shopping trip with her and 5 of her mates!
But as the saying goes....Happy wife, Cliffy gets to have more toys (ie Happy Life!).:p

Is it a 2008 Stornaway Grey SE with 154000km???
