    So, Freelander?

    Stupid me went and test drove a new LR Freelander the other day. I of course liked it Its like they shrunk a Rangie, very nice solid car which goes alright.

    Discovery just overkill, and Range Rover waaay over budget, so the Freelander fts in well with the idea of upgrading from the VW Tiguan we have (read missus cracking the shits with it being a manual).

    Opinions?

    New one may be ok.
    Do not entertain the possibility of thinking about considering an early one!!!! they are fucking basket cases and are pretty much unrepairable.
    Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

      Oh yeah, well aware of the shitfullness of the old ones

      New one for sure, a year old at most. Very tempted by the 2011 limited Edition, black on black with 19" rims. Fuckin' sweet

          Is the Evoque much extra?

          Personally I'd rather a Defender SWB for $40k. Shit, but so much coolness.

                You cunts should know she's a nopics :D

                Anyway, pic is in Fathers thread if you really need

                Yeah, I keep trying to tell her it aint that hard, but no, she reckons babies and manuals don't mix apparently.

                Evoque is an option, but am not keen on options

                    Babies and driving don't fucking mix, Even in an auto the baby shouldn't be driving.


                    One of the nopic's friends has one, Seems like a decent bit of kit but I don't reckon I could bring myself to own one.

                          Buy a new auto Tigjuan, at least being a VW it will have some sort of resale value, unlike the Freelander

                              Rav4 CruiserL or ZR6, depending if you want fasts with the girlytruck, and pocket the $2 change from the Freeloader?
