I'm completely sold on the Discovery Only had it a few months and love it so much. It's technically my wife's car though (that'll be Antoniasmum, then).
She don't like my S4, especially in the snow so I don't get to use the D3 much.
Soooooooo........ I was thinking of buying an additional (older) D3. Then I thought I could maybe get an FFRR instead, plenty around at 15k or so.
Anyone had both? What do you think? And, am I mad to think about having two complicated Land Rovers...
friend who lives in the highlands has stuck winter tyres on his S4,, said last night it hasn't put a foot wrong yet
I'm thinking of that. Got Vreds on the D3. There's more to this though than the power / grip tyres equation; it's an S4 convertible, so the windows have hilariously been freezing onto fabric roof overnight, so you can't get in. If you get in you can't shut the door. And, the view out of the small rear window is minimal, not ideal. Does have heated seats though
Discovery - all round brilliant. Apart from the lack of heated seats ____

Got heated rear seats on both of mine!!
Problem with any normal car is them coping with the depth of snow like this without a lot of shovelling to get to the ploughed road.
I guess you could drive the Disco out through that?____

I did, the path was for me to get to the car.
To be fair the level snow was a little shallower as that was a mini drift that built up in the lee side of the car.

At the risk of taking lots of flack, I'd go FFRR for the 2nd car! D3 is brilliant but why not have a different second motor?
Well, that was my thought too, just wanted to gauge the opinions...____

My neighbour has just got his D4 back after it was on loan to his boss who wanted a tow bar.
Recons it's slow now - he was driving a RRS Supercharged But another option? Though I'd probably think a FFRR would be a bit more upmarket Mark.

Needs to be cheap. Can't get an RRS under £20k really. Supercharged £30k odd.
Plenty of FFRRs around though, at 12-15k. Some even look OK at that money!____

Would deffo have a TDV8 FFRR but not as good for the mutts as the D3. I know my place!
