    Pulled the hammer.

    HSE, V6 supercharged.

    Anyone else driving one of these? I've owned a lot of cars, but never a Rover.

    I picked a Autobiography V8SC the beginning of March, it is stored away now until November. Nice SUV, though too much drive by wire lag for my tastes, so installed a pedal commander. Enjoy, and congrats

    I see, so the RR is a ferry of sorts.

    There is a video out there of a guy driving his H1 in Houston in the last storm water, water up to the windshield very impressive!
    Do you keep your RR past their warranty period? Or sell before? Or lease?

    Very cool indeed.

    Almost makes you feel sorry for the trail, it probably isn't Humvee rated

    We have a 2006 Range Rover Sport. Incredibly reliable with ~145k miles. I use it for the daily driver during winter and bad weather days. It's also the tow vehicle for the enclosed trailer for the vintage race cars. Has mostly just needed maintenance items(fluids, tires, brakes), a few wear items like bushings, and a few minor fixes. Actually very DIY but I also have the computer that allows me to get in and do what the dealers can do like setting up options and the air suspension.

    Interior is finally starting to show signs of wear and the exterior is stlll in great shape. Have done minor off-roading a few times.

    Great vehicle - I'm going to see how many miles I can get on it! It's not uncommon to see over 200k miles on a RRS.
