Glad I was only in the NAAFI so had to kept neutral.
Had my father flying in the Lancasters in WW11 and an uncle who was in a red cap in war then out far east. He was a sergeant and him and 6 constables fought off a native uprising and was shot 6times. As kids we loved to look at the bullet scars. He won a shed load of medals for it so like I said until someone does me wrong I can't take sides

Here you go. Excellent work as usual by Dave. Apparently front bumper had been resprayed before even though main dealer had assured me it had never been in a crash. Alloys refurbished with new centres & the horribly faded plastic Rangerover badges removed front and back.

Losing the lettering makes big aesthetic difference. Is he putting them back on after he’s painted them orange?
