It took a lot for me to finally convince myself to sell this Range Rover. I am the only owner and treated her like my child. I put my name in to reserve her a year in advance and was literally the FIRST person in line to get the first one in Fort Worth, so they let me get the Adriatic Blue color (see pics, blackish-blue look). I don't know about you, but I have never seen my color on the road EVER before! She is FULLY LOADED, super clean (see my pics of her!), sun roof / moon roof, GPS navigation system, dual air bags and side air bags, ABS (4-wheel) w/ traction control, Harman Kardon Sound system, Multi Disc CD, Integrated Phone, Towing Pkg, 


GENERAL REPAIRS / REPLACEMENTS I DID IN 2012: Most were simply replacements to the existing parts I did earlier last year to keep her in optimal condition. Some were what I believed could eventually be a problem, so I figured replace them now. If you know Range Rovers then you know if you let them become a problem, then that problem will bring collateral problems if not dealt with beforehand and that is not something you don't want to have happen.

The Truth
Now honestly I really did all these replacements for me b/c she ran fine without them and I had no intention of selling it. And then... mom got diagnosed in September with a bad disease after passing out one day in the nail salon and was hospitalized for nearly two months (conveniently this happened just two years before she would have got Medicare! AH!!). She had crummy insurance that covered almost nothing and guess what good son got to enjoy paying all those bills?! That's not all, now she has a home nurse's aid that is slowly draining my savings and well... that is why I have to sell this sweet ride. What can I do? Whoever buys her, PLEASE take as good a care of her as I did. I am seriously going to miss this Rover (total chick magnet!).
- I replaced all 4 tires with brand new ones
- Put in an all new suspension system
- Replaced air springs
- Brand new Macpherson Strut
- New Battery
- Replaced left and right turn signal bulbs
- New Upper Radiator Hose
- All tags current


PROBLEM REPAIRS I HAD TO FIX: Only problems I have ever had with her are as follows (and I have kept virtually all receipts to back this up, just ask me for them no prob) 
- I had the front left tire totally go out back in 2007 (can't find that receipt, but the repair was a new tire. I know, you ask me... how did that happen?). I was invited to this corporate ranch and arrived there after sunset cruising down their gravel road that leads to the company lodge. She drives so smooth you forget how fast you are going, you can't really feel the bumps on the road, and being at night and me not being much of an off-road driver I ran over a jagged rock driving too fast down into the valley part of the ranch land. I didn't even know I did any damage to the tire until I got 500 yards from the corporate lodge and all my warning lights went off saying left tire needs repair! I stopped, checked it out and in moments that tire was history (luckily I didn't hurt the wheel). What can I say... I was idiot. Geez was that embarrassing! So that is her off-road experience except I did take her mudding on a fishing trip I went on after a storm (now that was a TON of fun... I seriously could not get her stuck! And my buddy had a jacked up Chevy with these huge mud tires and he got stuck and I just rolled on through the mud, no problemo! Showed them, huh?! ha.

Enjoy.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.

Environmental group accuses BMW, JLR of link to deforestation in Paraguay

Wed, Sep 30 2020

ASUNCION, Paraguay — Environmental group Earthsight said on Wednesday it has linked some of Europe's largest carmakers to the deforestation of the Chaco, a dry forest region of Paraguay home to jaguars and one of the last uncontacted indigenous groups in the world. The group said in a report that livestock companies have illegally logged lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode indigenous ethnic group, some of whose members live in voluntary isolation. The livestock skin is used in leather upholstery of luxury vehicles sold by high-end European auto brands including BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover, the group said. UK-based Earthsight said it had made covert visits to tanneries that bragged about supplying the raw material to the luxury car brands. "BMW is using hides sourced from two slaughterhouses processing cows from ranches responsible for illegal [logging] in the Ayoreo Totobiegosode's forests. Jaguar Land Rover didn't dispute sourcing from a Paraguayan tannery that processes hides from another slaughterhouse doing the same," the report said. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement to Reuters it had found no evidence to verify Earthsight's claims. It said its European suppliers assured sustainability. "We continue  our drive for further transparency and, in this case, the leather supplier in Europe verifies with each raw material supplier that no rural property that directly supplies it is involved in illegal deforestation," the automaker said. BMW did not respond to a request for comment on the Earthsight investigation. Paraguay exports about 50,000 tons of wet-blue leather (tanned, but not dried, dyed or finished) a year, and almost two-thirds of those shipments are bound for Europe, according to the report. Automakers say that leather is a byproduct of the far larger meat industry and high-end cars constitute a comparatively small market niche. But indigenous leaders say deforestation driven by growth in beef and leather exports is encroaching on their territory and destroying their way of life. "As deforestation advances with extensive cattle ranching, they are being imprisoned, they are disappearing," Taguide Picanerai, a spokesman for the Ayoreo community in the Alto Paraguay department, northwest of Asuncion, told Reuters. The region is home to some of the world's highest rates of deforestation, Earthsight said.   Green BMW Jaguar Land Rover
