Nail on the head there i'd say!

Obviously, sales figures and profits prove him wrong perhaps, but he seems to share a lot of views I read on here.

I've always liked his writing, he tells it like it is, and has fallen out with several manufacturers over the years as a result.

Still, it beat the XC90 and Q7 in their group test Wink

Though I do agree to certain extent but the sales figures speak for themselves, LR are selling more cars than they ever have.

Ferrari being the biggest and most publicised, but they did kiss and make up.

He’s brilliant such a shame the bbc got their teeth into him.

You can see why they did though, probably Chris Evans best decision on the "new" TG.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Heck, he even insulted my car, but I know what he’s getting at Thumbs Up

The D3 & 4 are still the best looking (properly traditional) Land Rovers built for a long time,
 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car

2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)

...but I can’t understand his liking for the RR Sport, yet his negativive feelings for the FFRR; they look like a reprofiled version of the same design (with the FF at least having vertical tail lamps to make if look more “proper”*).
