'best car'? I don't think so! Poor build quality and appalling reliability - thats why they have to offer service packages like these just to get people to buy them.
We had a 4.6 Vogue from new, bought I suspect for mainly nostalgic reasons but we were glad to see the back of it. Now on a Land Cruiser Amazon, much better bet

I know.
Won't feel it in the season - fewer visits but more time on the boat - but I don't know how I'll feel next winter when its 1000 miles away.

Total sellout from t\'northerner
Mallorca? Mallorca?!!!!
It's Majorca and don't you forget it. It was Thomson's that started calling it Mallorca, one famous brochure actually advertising both Majorca and Mallorca as separate places.
Anyway, I hope you'll have a happy time. Mrs M will need white slingbacks. Don't wince! - generally, that's called very good taste thereabouts.
You will need to change the handle from medreamer, no?
Finally, are you there over Easter? If you meet anyone you know, everyone has to have to shriek really loudly.

Re: Total sellout from t\'northerner
I only put Mallorca because it was late and when I typed Majorca it didn't look like I had spelt it right !!!! (Honest).
Having done considerable research regarding the move to Majorca I have already taken several steps to ensure we fit in with the other English visitors:
1) I have purchased a pair of Union Jack Swimming Shorts
2) We have three jars of Beetroot - the juice when applied with cotton wool is a good simulation of severe sunburn (This is only required of course until we have chance to stake out for eight hours to aquire the real thing).
3) I have packed a pair of sandals and half a dozen pairs of dark dress socks to wear with them. (To complete the effect I also have acquired two nylon check shirts). I will not be using the knotted handkerchief as we seemed to attract strange glances last time we wore them.
4) I have managed to compile a list of cafes/restaurants within walking distance that do a full english breakfast AND serve Tetleys Bitter at 7:00am.
5) Mrs M. will indeed be wearing the white slingbacks - good taste is second nature to her.
6) Also Mrs M. is working on a shrieking, raucous laugh, which she will of course use if we ever bump into anyone we know or in response to even the slightest double entendre.
7) I have removed the small seat from the cabin so that we have somewhere to put the giant straw donkey.
Jealous Eh? Bet you don't get any of this in the SoF.

Re: Excellent
Jealous indeed, and I retract my earlier accusations: it seems that you will fit in superbly. You omitted to mention that you will endeavour to employ pathetic and inappropriate Spanish for use in restaurants (eg "Dos Egg and Chips, por favor") but I'm quite confident that you will have this covered.

I agree totally I dont want to ever read such rubbish as the japanese and now porsche, VW or any other pretender to the land rover /range rover throne mentioned in the same breath as the best 4x4 by far.
the others are stylistically over done making them look cheap dont have the charactor neither the style nor the on or off road performance/comfort and none have the big one- none have the class, not by a long way!
Message to Toyota- just because you keep making the Landcruiser bigger nobody is going to take them any more seriously!! your cars are Dolly parton in a sequin dress desperate to be noticed and overtly cheap looking!
people who say that land rovers have poor build quality are somewhere back in the mid 90's.
Simply the best, now less rubbish talk and more discussion on the boats

Re: Not convinced.
I sold my 97 Range Rover after the service bills got to a grand a time. It was a pleasant enough old bus, but something expensive broke every year - aircon twice, air suspension, leccy windows...
Still, I got over 100k out of it, but the depreciation was fearsome. Now on second Rover 75 Tourer - better finished by far, IMHO

Only on here can a thread started by a fed-up boater turn into an argument about
the qualities of various 4x4's.

Kevin, with the greatest respect (as politicians are wont to say)................you are talking the most unmitigated garbage. You clearly have never owned a modern Range Rover so listen to the people who have. And people that use their vehicles as proper 4x4 off-roaders as many of us here in Oz do, want a proper tool for the job. Incidently, if you get the chance to watch the next TV report from Iraq, Central Africa, Somalia or anywhere else where the UN are active, take a look at the vehicles they use - not a single Landrover to be seen, the're all Toyotas or Nissans. Trust the experts!

Re: Is It Me? NB
OzGirl, with the greatest respect, I own a 2003 TD6 Range Rover, a 1995 V8 Discovery and a 2002 Freelander for the wife, her fault she rolled the 2001 TD5 Discovery with ACE and before you start it was completely her fault she pointed it up the hill and it went....anyway I agree with Kevin and I clearly own a modern Range Rover and I use the V8 off-road.
If the army dont use LandRovers how come they sell so many used ones?
