LOL....I wish it wasn't so d4mn heavy though!
Is it really heavy though, is there any actual proof? :D. (do the same myself, but next time will fill each barrow with one fewer shovel load each trip to compensate for may age and decreasing stamina. The last load will be lightest.)

Reasons why I love my Vantage and shan't sell it:
  1. It looks amazing
  2. It's great fun to drive
  3. It sounds like Thor after he stood on a LEGO brick
  4. ... and will sound even better when I get the downpipes replaced with something less asthmatic
  5. It's generally well regarded by other people.

Yes, apart from fixed one...I know where the oil and fuel goes and that's it......And my Dad was a mechanic....You would think I was a dab hand with a spanner....

LOL...very true. I'm thankful and don't mind a good workout though. Since my Tax smart trainer broker and slow **** Garmin haven't sent the replacement yet it has to be a good thing. Apart from my back won't thank me of course!

Prefer horses... these car things have no future and its all a big con from Aterg and her cronies to turn the world on its head and pollute the masses.

I couldn’t live with the space, maintenance and running costs of 390 horses though, a Maserati makes things much less hassle.

Do you own one? If you’ll accept an SUV is one.

Have you driven one? Recently-See above.

Have you driven fast in one? SUV, Not really, 110kmh. (Other cars driven very quickly at track days)

Have you fixed one? Not yet but almost certainly will require it soon- Range Rover.

Is anything on yours non functioning? Not at the moment.....(holds breath) checks after market warranty to see if there is a “tempting fate” exclusion clause.

Have you ever watched them racing? Cars yes, F1 many a time, SUV’s no.

Only Downunder aye.
Still when I had my Ford Ranger 3.2 D it was one of the most useful vehicles I have had.
