Wow, the 6 and 7S models really do look great. So much nicer than the big ugly 8S.

Those tyres are HUGE what sizes front and back?

I like the look of my 8S 225, but i agree this look nicer. My dealer like to try things so we start with 30" in front and 42" back, but that be to big in front so now is 28" and 42" back.

What make? There's a lot of variance on tyres that size. Our Maxxum had Michelin Agribib's in the same size and now it has Alliance. Alliance is way wider and has way deeper thread. And boy do they grip. Don't mind the JD's front duals, they're there only for flotation and measure (way easier to figure out the width of the rear).

Wife’s not too impressed,
She just doesn’t get it, !!
Italian lake tour, or the Scottish 500 may change her mind,
If it doesn’t, never mind I’m going to enjoy it, !!

Don’t do the 500 in summer. It’s just a huge queue of caravans and Motorhomes…

380 Dynamic, hopefully solved all the gremlins in the earlier ones,?
But, ever the optimist buying a UK manufactured car,
As you can see I have 3, wife loves her Evoque, I love Discovery for work, but needed something to put a smile on my face,
