General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I've had Freelanders for the last dozen years and still have one of the last ones made (just like Billinge Biker). Magnificent vehicles and I've only ever had to put tyres and a battery on them. Just the right size they are, as many 4x4's are too big and cumbersome. Ideal for chucking stuff in to go to the tip, dealing with the little snow we have and full of all the necessary gadgets (heated wheel/seats/camera etc). Reasonably priced too and don't depreciate much after a number of years.

I looked to change a couple of years ago and considered the Discovery Sport and Jaguar F Pace but too many of these type of cars are "samey" these days and the rooflines slope towards the rear. I like them to look like a Lego brick.

I might investigate the new Defender 90 in a couple of years when good used ones filter onto the market but then again I might just keep my Freelander forever. I love it!

BB, I recently spotted one just like yours but with chrome door handles, wasn't yours was it?

The only downside is that I need to change my occupation to hairdresser according to Tonker.
