Hey uncle Tony you sarcy bastard

Smart moving getting all those Range Rovers together: gonna pick and match all the best bits together on the best one and sell and / or use the rest as partssupply or...?

I quite like the Range Rover but hear so many bad stories I opted for the Grand Cherokee 5.9 litre.

Not as smart looking and tacky interior but extremely comfy and very powerfull!
Never once let me down either!

Still, the Range Rover looks sooo much better!

Would be very interested in seeing you twinturboing one with a pair of T34's!

I have a 5.9 LX on PETROL!!!

It is a thirsty fucker but it can effortlessly pull a house down the street if the need arises



Mine has only done about 60 k miles and has a service history wich is very very comprehensive.

Always fires up immediatly, even if left alone for weeks out in the cold, never misses a beat and loads of low down grunt.

Once even towed a trucktrailer (don't ask...) down the motorway with it.

Did it without any problem apart from the trailer steering the Jeep!!! Fuck me, that was was a scary drive if ever I had one...!!!

Is it because the more you have, the better the chance you have of one of them starting? Only joking mate but seriously, why do you want 7 of them?

Don't know what you'd call that trailer: the front axle turns, the rears don't.

Tony: Love the split rims but that car really needs the clear indicators, looks years younger without the ambers!

I was going to say it couldent have been an hgv trailer ( 5th wheel type which are the 40 ft,ers ) as they have air brakes so without being able to charge the system the spring brakes will not release

i wanna see all seven parked next to each other!

I just have one and touch wood it's been reliable - moreso than my sierra was and so far it's been cheaper to fix then my sierra.
