I don't own one yet, but I can relate to the" bonding" comments!
I have test driven 4 cars in the last two weeks and simply can't"bond" with any of them??
I get back into my 322 after the test drives and on my way home I think to myself"why bother - this car is better??
Should I try a sport??
I had a 2010 sport for a while and didn't bond with that either?
Do I need help??

The SVR is the only I'd consider swapping my L405 for. I just love the Estoril blue colour and that amazing V8 sound

Will you be brave enough to take the SVR off road?

I agree ! Totally.  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

@wealy. I'd have to agree...6 weeks in and just don't have that same "feeling" that I had for the 322...Every night I'd park up, walk away and look back to get that last glimpse before putting her to bed....I really loved my old fatty. I spent a lot of time personalising, pampering and playing with her and I enjoyed every minute doing so

Wheras, the 405 is just an object. I walk away and forget about it completely until I drive it again. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing piece of engineering but it's completely soulless I can't even be bothered to arrange for my old valet guy to give it the works like I did with the old one

Is there something wrong with me? GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

Mebbe next week if you're free one evening? If not, then after the Dales Run..I'm in no rush.

Finally fixed that oil leak this evening with a new oil seal care of duckydan..seems to be ok now, but it is a Landrover, so it'll prob spew its sticky load on the drive overnight just to pee me off again  GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus
