What did you drive before the Land Rover, Doctor Diesel? Was it vastly different driving the big monster to what you had before or was it a good step up (or down!?)?

Right Doc
You've been expectant.
You've had the excitement.
You've had the gas and air.
You've had the delivery.
You've brought the baby home.
You've had the congratulations & good wishes.
Like any good parent, you'll want to bring up your baby to understand where she came from...her social standing...her roots ...and from time to time you'll want to spoil your baby...... bad 8)
So....when are you going to come on one of our wild off-road weekends or playdays? She's far too clean 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
