Sadly not I'm away, have been in the past many times, this is my 3rd defender so no stranger to the mark, certainly looking to go next year if I'm around. My wife is a wildlife photographer hence the landy and day van conversion, gets us where we need to go.

Not funny because it's a land rover because I'm a big land rover fan  but sooo funny it's a police vehicle

I am really going to miss this car, its easily been the most reliable and definitely one of the most fun cars ive ever owned. 

 

A new car will e on its way very soon

Cheeky one of my M5 looking less than pristine!

Looks pretty good to me!!

Just replaced all 4 tyres - changed from F1 ASY2's to Michelin PS4's - first impressions are amazing, but only a few miles - need to see how they are in mixed conditions.

Special offer on for Michelin at Kwik Fit - did a very good and careful job - and you get a 'free Winter Kit' including travel mug, gloves, blanket ... just about 'you name it' - brings the Michelin price down to the Goodyear price!

The best tyres for general road use are MPSS.... wouldn't put anything else on my cars!

I was tempted but E/B rating put me off. C(fuel)/A(noise) plus a better price won it for the PS4 - don't doubt the MPSS performs well, but at a price I wouldn't notice the difference on normal roads I reckon.

 

What size are those rears, 285/35 R20 ?

Thanks guys...

[atom3624]

Yeah, time for a change to an E63S then!

 

There's always the RS6 if you need a bigger boot, to carry the RC's around in .....

 

Joking!

Boot's big enough on the M5!!
