      Nice video Calvin! Love the cinematics!
      I'm looking to see any good motorway cruisers as I'm doing more motorway miles so my 2007 BMW 116i has a farewell goodbye. I need something that has cheap tax and will soak up the miles with no problem; it must be sporty to drive ( There is a 5 mile B-Road on my commute) . Maybe a Jaguar XE or a 3 Series EfficientDynamics. Anybody got suggestions on the car? My budget is just shy of £18k

      It’s a weird British thing Calvin, everyone I know who’s had one
      Has had one blow up but it’s almost like a coming of age thing amongst certain brits! As for reliability they’re shite, best thing to do is do what the yanks do with them and swap that engine straight out for one that’s proven! Even today Land Rover make great cars that are still hugely flawed especially in regards to electrics! I don’t know why they just don’t get some proven Japanese engineers in-house to make them reliable

      I took one in trade in 2016 for a dodge srt10 pickup, the landie had 3000 miles on it, 110csw in black, it was out of production and drove like shit. Put big wheels, led’s, some urban shit and sold it to a Land Rover development engineer who couldn’t get one, he came down in a prototype evoque convertible. Why do people love these? I made nice money on the deal. Happy days

Since then ive been subscribed but i still didnt make up my mind on which SUV to buy ive been looking at 2017 X5 40d, Porsche Cayenne Diesel 2017 or Audi Q7 of the same year. Which SUV would you prefer as i have twins on the way and my 373 000 km (230 000 miles)Passat b7 2013 is becoming more and more unreliable by the day so a change must happen. 😁

    Australia tuning in here - As someone who owned a Defender 110 Xtreme, I was interested in what you had to say about your example. I was told the LR Defender would be a love it / hate it relationship, which was pretty accurate. Even with the 'reliability' factor, there was more love than hate. I'm not quite sure why so many of us love the abusive relationship aspect of LR ownership, but there you go. Mine had a 2.5 Tdi motor under the bonnet & it was the electric that eventually saw me sell it to another Defender fan.
    For me, and where I wanted to travel towing a 4x4 camper, it was the question of 'when is it going to breakdown again', that eventually said enough is enough. But there was so much about the Defender that suited me living in the countryside on acreage, down dirt roads & across creeks, that I kept on creating excuses for it.
    Question - Did you figure out what that odd thing is that's poking out at the base of the windscreen?

    If a Land Rover hasn't broken down, it's about to breakdown 😀 Easy to fix but badly built. There is an official 40 page manual on how to fix "water ingress"! Easy to break into and steal, as many are. But, they have some sort of magnetic appeal!
