Default Can't have just one

We loved the 2021 Fuji White 110 so much that we bought another 2021 Gondwana Stone 110. Sad to see the 2013 LR4 go to a new home but time was here. Absolutely love these vehicles. The white one has the 22" road tires and the Stone has the 20" with the off-road packages.

Congrats! Do you noticed better MPG and less road noise with the road tires?

You own two brand new 110’s and live that close to your neighbors

When you buy your second Def do they give you an unlimited Uber voucher or is it still a bus pass like us Disco guys got?

No change in gas mileage at all. I was concerned about the off road tires being noisy but they are not. A slight bit harsher on poor surface roads i think but that could just be my perception. I have to say fuel consumption, although rated much better than the outgoing LR4's, seems to be not a lot better. Averaging about 15.6 mpg around here on rural roads.

I suppose it's luck of the draw but we have or had 5 Land Rovers (2 LR4's, an Evoque, the two Defenders) and a Jaguar XF-S and never had a problem at all with any of them. No breakdowns or any other issues other than the replacement of 2 oxygen sensors on the Jag. However, looking back, our BMW's were horrible, two 535i GT's and both were dumped after a year due to constant breakdowns, spent more time in the shop than on the road.

Homes that sold for 600K two years ago are now in the 800K range if you can find one. Of course going to the beach in 15 minutes, the desert or the mountains in an hour sort of makes it worthwhile.
Cant imagine being able to buy a home for 650k, can't find a livable house here under 2 mill nowadays.

Damn I think I screwed up not getting the off-road tires. Ugh.
