If you go to Bradford you'll see one at every corner, usually white, blacked out with stupid size 22" alloys. Utterly vulgar.

I was given a lift in one a few weeks ago - has to have the crappest ride of any SUV.
Just appallingly bad, bad, bad....

Are there any Range Rovers that have 7 seats? If not what about a discovery?

I liked the X5 we had for a weekend.

I'd think my life was over though if i needed 7 seats though.Much like if I had to buy a Picasso or any people carrier

Got home from travelling in India to see the car we have bought - ex-dem E70 X5 - massive spec, including sports susp and 20in wheels - ride is firm - drive is more 5 series than RR/Disco. Very nice indeed.

I bet you might change your mind if the extra seat was needed for the nanny

That's a shame.
He sends his regards anyway.

Well she is a grown up and everything!!


Mind you she has spent months trying to persuade me that we should get an XC90 and I would not give in. Always felt the X5 was a better choice and the one we got is a particularly nice car - and we got a good deal on the 5 series trade in - and her indoors did the negotiation.

She also got toys for the kids and a huge bunch of flowers from the dealer
