The Brand New Range Rover!

Range Rover Autobiography 4.4l

I finally received delivery of my brand new Range Rover. I ordered my Range Rover way back in January with anticipation to receive it in March. Before I ordered the Range Rover I had heard how good this particular model was and how Range Rovers are back to being the best 4WD cars in the world. I simply had to have one. Also being a fan of Top Gear when I saw the car being tested off road alongside a gigantic Terramax unmanned ground vehicle on a recent episode that sealed the deal.

I put an order in for the 4.4litre Autobiography model with Premier Sports Solutions in Bournemouth. After paying my deposit I was promised a delivery date for March but unfortunately it didn’t arrive until last week, which was May! I experience quite a few forwards and backwards calls with Premier Sports Solutions changing the spec on the vehicle. After losing quite a bit of heart with when it was actually going to arrive I was finally delighted to see the new car on my drive when I got home from work the other day.

One of the things I didn’t like was the stock wheels that came with the 115k car! So that was the first thing to change. I took a trip up to project wheels near Bristol to change them and drove back a very proud man in the new Range Rover, it all felt worthwhile.

My wife has also been very happy with her new car. We recently swapped in our cars at home for the new Mini Countryman actually came on time and the new Range Rover! So all said and done, all the best to Rich and Rob from Premier Sports Solutions for looking after us.

It has always been a great advantage in my life that I have been able to afford to own nice cars.
When I was young boy I was in awe of people with nice cars, I used to wonder how they had managed to get such nice things. I believed that everybody in a nice car was a multi millionaire, years ago this may have been the case, but now everyone has the possibility to own a nice car, thanks to finance. I couldn’t ever strap myself up with finance on cars; I have always been a cash buyer. It’s an additional expense that you don’t really want, top of the range prestige cars are for those that can afford them, houses are the only things that should be strapped up in regards to finance as far as I am concerned!
At 17 I purchased my first car, a Humber Septer. At the time I thought that this car was the nuts, clocks on the dashboard, leather seats….looking back it was just a piece of crap, although now a classic car!
So out went the Humber and in came the brand new Ford, don’t ask me why, I kept this car for a couple of years, and as I started to earn my money I continually changed my cars, why not ,I was proud of what I was achieving in my life and wanted to show everybody!
In my early 20’s I bought a company purely for its fleet of cars, in particular a brand new Rolls Royce, I didn’t even look at the companies accounts, I wanted to have the ultimate, give it the big one in a brand new Rolls Royce!
People couldn’t understand what a young black man was doing in a brand new car like that, didn’t believe that it could be achieved, well I showed them!
I went back to my old school, the school for naughty boys, and pulled up and parked my brand new rolls outside the head teachers office, word soon spread that Daryl Self, ex pupil who they had said would amount to nothing, has turned up in a Rolls Royce! This was a great day for me, such a sense of I told you so, they were too eager to write me off, well I showed them!
At one stage in my life I had £1 Million worth of cars sat on my driveway, two Ferraris, Porch Turbo Convertible, Range Rover and BMW; this was a sight for sore eyes for any car enthusiast!
Over the years I have changed my cars on a regular basis, always having the best of the cars available, I have had Ferraris, porches, BMW’s Range rovers, Mustangs, and many more.
I feel that I have now become more modest with the cars that I purchase, I recently sold my Bentley Continental and replaced it with a Mercedes S Class, more of the business mans car….however I do still have the Mercedes SL55, and the H2 Hummer, and talking of becoming modest in my old age, the stretch hummer, of which I have been able to build an up and coming hire company around!
My ultimate car (for the moment) is the Rolls Royce Phantom….watch this space…..
