I'm not blind to their failings...my bank balance is testiment to that for sure!!
But I just don't care...I have a wonderful Girlfriend who puts up with the running costs, she drives a small cheap to run car, I don't live in a big house, and as I have mentioned before - aslong as I am careful with my pot of money when it comes to the inevitable repairs...we can live in harmony together...
I am able to DIY most of my repairs, I have a good boss who understands the 'spontanious' day off needed to fix something...and if the vehicle is off the road for a few days, he is willing to lend me one of our pool vehicles (one of which is a Defender 90! which I usually go for) for a few days while I sort it out!
I go into Range Rover ownership well and trully 'eyes wide open' and I urge others to do the same...
I love Range Rovers and am a big fan of the LR marque...but yes they will tax your paitience and your bank balance...but I wouldn't have it any other way
