Indeed. Currently obsessing with specs of L405 Range Rovers. In theory one of those would cover the roles of both Cayenne & Bentley.

Bentley provisionally sold, to be collected some time next week.

The Cayenne needs a scrub up & a new MOT, then that can go up for sale too.

I'm behaving myself at the moment and waiting until both are gone before I buy anything new.

...why did we all decide that we wanted to go back to it? I don't think we did. I certainly didn't :lol: In our group we try to all go into the office on Thursdays. We don't have allocated desks so we all sit in a conference room for the day. It's useful to be able to go through stuff face to face,...

Interesting. Diplomatic sale makes total sense on that kind of car.

A LWB Range Rover from our favourite Reading bargain-basement outlet. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/838590548091747/?ref=marketplace_profile&referral_code=undefined VERY strangely if you look up the MOT history, DVLA have it registered as a "LANDROTER RANGEROVER". Exactly t...

Not eBay but online - does anyone here have kindle unlimited ? I’m hugely intrigued about the contents of this book: https://amzn.eu/d/5dE8JP1 These are the stories that I probably shouldn’t share… Arresting a bride at her wedding An Aztec-style sacrifice Subversion in the ranks A naked dog thief An...

Far and away the cheapest manual 360 I’ve seen. I don’t want to say suspiciously cheap, and there’s no immediate alarms going off, but it’s very cheap. The next cheapest manual is an extra £17,500 and it’s a spider.

People also win the lottery.

Turn it upside down….

Compare cost of filters etc. with these guys on eBay. They’re my go-to for everything except oil.

I get oils from here. Not sure why their feedback looks bad, I’ve had zero problems with them.

Just around the corner from here. I went past it about 3pm yesterday when it had clearly only just happened - traffic stopped & people standing around. This photo is today. I’m not even sure how they managed to do it. It’s not a fast piece of road. Looks like they bounced off the tree and slid b...

I don’t think I could do that gen of RR until it’s a bit less desirable to the sticky fingered. I’ve said before but my ideal RR would be a late V8 L322 visually backdated to take all the tacky shiny bits off. My lean to the L405 is for a pretty minor reason - a lot of them have a nice factory-fitt...

Are you sure it's not consuming the oil via the PCV valve ? My E39 did both

Cam cover gasket wasn't too difficult, PCV was a PITA.

...it seems like a waste of time. Unless a small and hugely boosted VAG engine proves more reliable than the original Porsche unit. I'll revise it to "unless you've got a highly tuned 1.8T or a boxster with a knackered engine lying about, it seems like a waste of time". If you're buying a...

I like light colours on big luxury cars to increase the airiness, and black on small sports cars to reduce distractions.

Much like this

We had one almost identical ! Reg was SKR 176R, DVLA says it's not been taxed since September 1989 which was quite possibly when we sold it.
