Landrovers in Euro Disney

Very surprised to see a total lack of French Landrovers. In 500 miles of French auto route I did not pass a single French Landrover. Infact only I only passed 4 French registered 4X4 two Terranos a Vitara and a Hummer !



In the Disneyland park its self there are a few "old fashioned" type small buses running about with running boards etc. They are all powered buy series III 2.25 petrol engines and LR gear boxes (rear wheel drive only). I would guess that they run all day in low ratio.



They sounded kind of familiar as they drove past and I could not resist having a look under. :-)

Doing a full tour of France this year, dont fancy all those miles in the Subaru, great for middle distance driving, bit wearing for long distance!

If i can ever persuade the wife to get a nice Rangie I'll be driving that.

Can fully recommend a Disco II for long motorway runs.

I just happen to be selling the one we took ;-)

It is all part of the Disney experience.....At least they smile when they take your money.

Subaru, great for middle

It's the petrol that costs the most when touring is the Subaru a petrol guzzler. A couple of years ago we toured all Europe in a Peugeot 806 .Yes 4 people slept in it comfortably (saving on camping bills) but the fuel costs were terrible.It was when it was so hot thousands of people died through heat exhaustion and we travelled mainly at night through France as it was cooler. But a brilliant experience and planning another tour around Europe in my series 3 when I have saved enough for fuel.......

In France proper (not Paris or Calais to Paris Autoroute) there are plenty of Landies. There are 2 LR dealers within 50km of my place in Normandy. The one in Caen is the normal Main Dealer rip off, but the one in St Lo is very helpful and knowledgable, and the service manager is a Merkin.

Elsewhere you claim to have a 2000 model Mercedes M class, so why would you want to...? No, forget it. It doesn't matter.

Sorry mate? I have not claimed anything, I have had an option to buy two different ML320 & 430's but not actually bought one yet?

Dunno what you're on about! Anyway, the wife wants to keep the Audi, so jobs fubar anyhow!

Quote from you in the Mercedes group from the 25th:-

"Mines a 2000 UK model."

Although on the 13th you do say that you are thinking of one. From your quote above I thought you had bought it. It's called adding two and two to make four.
