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.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Toyota Mirai rated at 67 mpge, 312-mile range The Environmental Protection Agency gave the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric car a 67-miles-per-gallon-equivalent rating. The figure is for city, highway, and combined driving. The EPA also said the Mirai will have a 312-mile range. The sedan will arrive in dealerships in California this fall and will cost $57,500, though incentives can drop the price significantly. The Mirai will also be offered as a $499-per-month lease. Both come with three years or $15,000 worth of free fuel. Toyota plans to expand sales to the Northeast United States later. Toyota's top female exec resigns in wake of arrest Meanwhile, in other Toyota news, the automaker's communications chief and top female executive, Julie Hamp, resigned.

Jaguar Heritage to auction off part of its classic-car collection

Mon, Feb 19 2018

A few years back it was reported that Jaguar Land Rover had purchased the James Hull classic car collection in its entirety. The collection is beyond significant, as it was at the time of sale the biggest single collection of British cars in the world and the largest private car collection in the UK. Consisting of 543 cars, it ranged from the mundane to the obscure, including some extremely rare prototypes. There were 130 Jaguars, for example, from the C-type to the D-type to the XKSS. When the cars were put up for sale in 2014, the asking price was a not-insubstantial $170 million. JLR didn't reveal how much it spent to buy the cars, but now it seems the carmaker is about to recoup some of those costs. At least 50 cars from the collection will be sold by auction house Brightwells, as part of the Affordable Classics at Bicester sale on March 21; some reports have said JLR would be eventually offloading as many as 100 cars. Looking at the listing, there are some definite gems in there. Not all cars are British, as there are Citroens, Mercedes-Benzes, a Fiat and a Goggomobil. Jaguars and Land Rovers are notably absent from Brightwells' listing, which we take as a clue that the sale will consist of cars not crucial to JLR's wellbeing and heritage. That said, for a lover of British cars there's a possibility to grab something truly interesting: For example, the Reliant Scimitar Ferguson 4x4 Prototype must be worth preserving. A 4WD pioneer also known for Massey-Ferguson tractors, Ferguson fitted its system in Jensens as well as a prototype 4WD Mustang in the 1960s. The fiberglass-bodied Reliant sports car is an interesting sidenote in Ferguson's history. Then there's a Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS, which is a veritable rally-bred RWD hot hatch in comparison to the American market Chevrolet Chevette, its distant relative. On the hot hatch front, there are also Metro and Maestro turbos, which offer plenty of poke in a light, boxy body. Or if you view the internet's popular "Worst Cars Ever Made" lists as shopping lists, you could build your own collection of slightly dodgy cars: Start with the unfortunate-looking Vanden Plas Allegro, continue to the malaise-tastic Morris Ital Camper, and finish it off with a late-model Lada Riva wagon from the mid-1990s. Some cars are in tip-top shape, and some are best seen as restoration projects, like the very pretty Borgward Isabella coupe from 1960.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
