I had a Ford Explorer SUV for the first 3 weeks as there were a few of us and it was ok on the beaches. But all in all the vehicle sucked, underpowered and I kept banging my head getting in and out, Didnt even have central locking. I changed it today as I was at the airport dropping people off. I now have a Ford Taurus for next 3 weeks ( yes older ones were basically a Mondeo) but this is actually quite nice and has a good engine with nice flappy paddle gear change if you get bored with it just being in drive. I will have to upload some pics I have taken at the LR main dealer here, some FFs with body kits obviously optional on these new models. 2006 MY Autobiography. With 'toys' Honda ST1300 Pan European Gone Jaguar 3.0 SE X Type Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird TJF by the way for anyone who knows what that means. |

I'm off to Dubai later this morning, so it's sure to be as hot, if not hotter than that! |

Thats the point I was making. It is a nice drive, much better than the Dodge Charger or the Chrysler 300 Ive had here before and according to the on board computer the fuel economy doesnt look bad either. I will wait n see. Its only 103 degress at the moment here but hey its still early.  2006 MY Autobiography. With 'toys'

No wonder the Explorer felt underpowered, it's the size of a FFRR and has a Ford Econetic 2.0ltr turbo - the one LR is putting in the Evoque Si4 and Ford Europe is putting into the next version of the Focus ST |
