My ff 4.4 v8 is a weekend car, I probably only do approx 5k a year anyway. I like fiddling with motors and have a Volvo T5 as my daily load lugger, wife has Pug estate as she finds it more practical being a Teacher than her old tin top convertible. We also have a New Beetle as a back up for the back up! Daughter is getting to that age so she may inherit the Beetle? Run a few classics when the sun comes out.. |

Same here, my L322 is my main car rather than backup.

Of the 5 Range Rovers I've now had the pleasure of paying the bills for... 4 have been secondary or spare cars etc. I've had a company van or pickup for the last 11 years which has fulfilled my "getting to work" problem. Currently that is a 2019 Nissan Navara and whilst utilitarian in many ways they are not a bad thing, I had a 2016 one which was very similar and did 103k in less than 3 years in it.
Another P38 followed which was rather nice, a Vogue I also had my BMW 650i at the time.
At that point I then swapped around and had the 2007 Supercharged as my "nice car" and a cheap 330ci as a track car before selling both to buy the E60 M5 I still have. Dropping to 3 vehicle in total for a while. ![]() Of course it wasnt long, 6 months or so, before I managed to argue a case for another Range Rover, where the 2002 HSE came from.
Although we didn't really get on, I swapped it for an X5 which again wasnt a bad car but felt like a poor relation to the FF (not far from the truth). I sold it at the end of summer and freed from the burden of this "4th" vehicle for 3 months suddenly a few weeks ago I found my self knealing in the muck looking for oil leaks underneath another L322, a 2004 Vogue this time. Sigh!
So currently we have my partners 2011 F11 520d Touring, my 2005 E60 M5, the 2004 4.4 Vogue and my 2019 Navara Tekna. Naturally I'm incredibly popular on the street....! 2005 E60 M5 2006 (MY07) L322 4.2 S/C 2024 i7 xDrive60 -------- 2004 L322 4.4 Vogue, 2002 L322 4.4 HSE, 2006 (MY07) L322 S/C , 2001 P38 Vogue, 1999 P38 4.6 HSE. |

I have 4 cars "on the road" inc. the FFRR for my wife and I and my daughter when she comes home. Although she currently has a company car anyway.

Mine’s just passed 26 1/2 months & 72,700 miles and it doesn’t give me any reason to have to run a back up; it just works, every day |
