Last Sunday, I was driving back from the North of Scotland, and I became aware of a Range Rover following me. I did notice he was having a good look at my Defender, and just thought of him as a fellow LR enthusiast (albeit with more money than me because he had a FFRR)... We were whizzing on a bit on the lovely bendy A835 road...
Today, I had a text from MrsK, and then a phone call from a Dealer. The FFRR driver had been so impressed with my Defender, he had gone into the local dealership (same as my spare wheel cover), shown the dealer a photo of my car (taken on Sunday on his iphone), and asked the dealer if he knows me (based on the fact that the spare wheel cover was bearing the dealer's name). Turns out yes the dealer did know my car (I talk to this particular chap occasionally when we're in there because he's a Defender enthusiast). He called MrsK first (her mobile number on their database), and then phoned me. The FFRR guy wants MY Defender ![]() Not keen to sell, unless I get offered a very fair amount of £...I did tell the dealer that I would straight-swap for a new RR Sport when they arrive ![]() However...an interesting day ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
