Well to be honest, I'm pretty attached to the Discovery myself. The RR and
Series 3 are definately going in the near future, but I feel quite reluctant
to think about having to sell the Discovery.
I drove my mums Renault thingy the other week and vowed never to do so
again. It took me ages to get used to not having a very good view. You
don't realise what a height advantage you have in a Land Rover compared to
other, until you drive a different car.
