Excited in Ceredigion

Huw · Oct 29, 2004

Oooooh I'm excited.

Tomorrow I have an extra hour in bed. But more than this, tomorrow afternoon
I finally take delivery of my new diesel Range Rover.
It should have been here today, but, because I am buying the pauper pack SE
which does not have standard parking sensors, they have been fitted by the
dealer. The genuine RR ones are fitted front and back and need a computer
system to manage them, but these sensors of mine are aftermarket units of
the same quality but fitted only to the back. The problem and delay arose
because RR, like the very similar BMW , have a fancy electrical system which
does not allow simple tapping of the reverse light cable. Progress? Maybe.
Let's hope it doesn't let the side down reliability wise as it has to live
up to my daily drive, a Land Cruiser Amazon which has literally only had one
bulb and a worn belt replaced in 80,000 miles.

Trust the extra hour to be on a night that I will find difficulty sleeping
through.

Ooooooooh, I'm excited!

See what such excitement can do to a man! It can't be good for the health.

nah, it goes back IIRC at 02:00 (to 01:00)

one of the local (FSVO local) night clubs used to get an extension to 02:00
for tonight, then put the clocks back and stay open an extra hour. dunno if
they still do...

trouble is, you know it's gonna happen, so you just end up going to bed an
hour later than normal...

If only someone could explain the concept to my dogs, and ask them not
to need a pee until 8am...

the car boot sale this morning... She'll be home in a fine mood then!

This clock changing lark is hard work, and confusing.

I got in the extra hour of drinking, but seemed to wake up far too
early thismorning.
In theory i should have gained an extra hour of life, but i feel like
ive lost a couple!

Got mine. Lovely she is. Got some nice features but I am losing a few useful
ones like seat, steering and mirror memory combined with auto
dipping/folding mirrors. A few useless features that will not be missed are
the rain sensitive wipers, auto dusk sensors for headlamps and the xenon
lights.
These are more than made up for by the servotronic steering, heated seats,
beautiful and roomy interior and the absence of the stupid fuel consumption
gauge which was a serious distraction.

Once it is run-in, the performance chip will be fitted off my last car and
economy and performance should be more than adequate.

One wish is that the centre rear head restraint should be removable. It does
house the rear cup holders though, which are a bit clumsy compared to the
very clever front ones.

My daughter has already mentioned a lack of handy stowage space for
nick-nacks like lip gloss, phones and whatever else teenage girls just must
have at hand in the front seat.

whereabouts were you again? will have to try and get a look at it one day,
if we can manage to be in the same place at the same time.

Odd, that's how I always remember which way around it is too.

Aberaeron area. Often in Lampeter.
Flash if you see a silver Land Cruiser Amazon or a shiny new silver RR
