    Buying Advice for Teen

    Well I guess your son is a lucky guy. I would suggest to buy the newest and safest RR from 99 and on. In general I guess a Range Rover is to much for a Teenager. I would sugest a Toyota pick up truck. Teenagers need reliability, not to much luxury. Remeber... A Range Rover old or new...

    How easy is to crack the Discovery´s Engine Block?

    I guess As you guys say It is a bad call from the mechanics at the Dealer. But the reality is that they are very incompetent. And the problem is that I'm stuck with them because My Disco was bought in a Mexican Dealership and I'm stuck with the Mexican Land Rover Warranty. It is very sad but...

    What kind of Stereos is everyone using?

    In my personal opinion I would go much simpler. I bought the 40G Ipod player, and bought the FM modulator(Itrip). I have all my CDs in the small convenient little gadget. Some people complain about having low reception from the Itrip. I fixed that with a cassette adapter I had from an old...
