It might be, especially if 78mph is the average speed?

If you’ve averaged 78 mph, you’ve spent a lot of time at a lot more than that.

Oh dear Doug, what’s the speaker icon for on the parking sensor screen........... you guessed it it disables the peeping just by tapping on it, no need to go searching through menus for that and if the peeper is too loud or too quiet you can adjust it’s volume with the radio volume adjuster, same for the volume of the SatNav voice instructions

Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

in big countries like US, Oz, ZA, etc., that is not even a high avg speed. just the other day I had to do a 400km round trip to go fetch my new ID document, and let me tell you, there were some wide eyes when I took the mountain passes at 120+kmh - and that was the slowest I was driving (I was in the RRS). -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged

100,000 mile/7yr warranty. I wonder if that's a US market thing or he's paid to have that.

the standard one is 5yr/100,000km warranty, so likely that he added the extended 2yr/60,000km on top of that.
it does out cheaper if you do it when you buy the car new than just before the original warranty expires - at least in ZA it is. -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged

In the UK it's just 3yrs.
And looking at the extended warranty, it "includes mechanical and electrical failure defects to all most factory fitted components and certain consequential failures." So is that all or most?! |

Are you sure - it's a huge average speed over the total mileage of 6.9k, then factor in he said he did 70 miles on the beach in the sand, and the fact that he averaged only 69mph over the 1st part of the journey - it means his average speed for the 2nd part was actually over 87mph. Isn't that middling Cannonball Run pace? That's if the figures on his dash mean what we all are thinking they mean? |
