Just returned from holiday - whilst out there, I rented a Range Rover. What a buzz! Now I'm seriously considering trading in my daily driver (BMW 330) for a used 4.6 HSE or perhaps a Vogue. I know bugger all about Landies - anyone here got one? Whilst I'm here - has anyone here got an X5 (also a contender)? I'd really like to hear any opinions. Cheers Paul

Hi go for the new Range 4.4 petrol, you can even drive it hard it is better than the rest by miles and miles. Have had the last 3 models and they just get better and better. Had a merc ml but it was like being a kid and your parents gave you a Chipper and you wanted a Chopper the real thing.. Andy.
I Had a Rangie for years. Loved it. Gutted when I had to sell it. It was too big for the wife. Or was that the other way round - sold the wife kept the Rangie. It's was touch and go for a minute. Wazza
Thanks guys - well, got my eye on a 4.6HSE - would have took the plunge today if the dealer wasn't being completely unreasonable about the trade in value of my bimmer.... bloody motor dealers...
