United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Westminster TDV8 Orkney Grey

Great! I love going along to classic car shows, -outside type ones. It's great to see old cars of my youth, still driving and I mean 'everyday' cars. I wonder how much they get 'used' and why people choose such cars, to upkeep, drive and maintain. There seems to be too many 'top table' nice cars, like jags, and rovers, but seeing old princesses, and marinas, raise my eyebrows.
They must have some problems sourcing parts for these nowadays.
But just seeing them on the road, and not with a sheet on them, is just great.
I feel a bit sorry, for their styling, and drivability, -it wasn't a British thing, all everyday cars were like that.
I saw an old Austin Montego being driven last week.
I always say, that will be the last time I see one of those, on a weekday, -as seeing similar cars on weekends, often means there is a show somewhere.

New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

Great to see, my dad and I owned quite a number of them, Triumph (6 all together), Mini (3 all together) and the Rover 2600. Nice to see !!! Still sad I never got to own a Spitfire or a Stag, maybe one day when I have my Range Rover collection, time for the open Triumphs Smile

Thanks Stan !! MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Cairns Blue

Seeing that Triumph Herald reminded me of a story my Dad told. One of his workmates at the BICC in Huyton bought a Herald when they first came out, the TV ad at the time had it driving down steps to show off ts independant suspension.
Anyway, this guy was going on about its 'go anywhere' capabilities with the ne suspension, it had snowed so my Dad and some others put bricks front and rear on each wheel and covered them with snow, poor chap was last off the carpark Rolling with laughter
