I’m currently in Troyes which is about half way to Milan.
Not sure the offer would be there when Moo gets back as it will a might high for delivery mileage. Unless it comes back on a yellow taxi.
Judging by the performance so far, a Yellow Taxi it is - and think of the fuel saving

It’s not the true LR experience if you haven’t enjoyed the hospitality of a yellow taxi driver.

Ok, I need certifying because I rather like it. it’s made me smile like I used to in my D3.
It might be a 🍋 or it might be a 🍑. When I got my original D3 it had a few wobbles but they all got fixed and it turned into the most ridiculously reliable car I’ve ever owned. Anyway, I travel back tomorrow and Thursday so we’ll see how it goes. If I end up chauffeur driven in the yellow taxi then it’s going. If not, then I might start accessorising…….

More like liberated.
