United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Firenze Red

HRH 1 was presented to HRH by the City of Hull many moons ago so we can track that one.

No issue with having a head of state but time to get rid of the hangers on that turn up in Military Uniforms and wearing Medals Never Earned in service i(including the one that failed basic training). Met Phil the Geek once in his then role as Patron to Outward Bound and the Mrs had her DofE presented by him so he can stay. Whistle FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Agree; we need a head of state, every country does, but we should have an elected head of state.

^^^^^^^

not wanting to take this too far off topic but many nations including ourselves have Royal Families dating back centuries, and other nations that have developed over more recent centuries have elected heads of state. IMO we need to keep the Royal Family.

if nothing else because they are publicly seen to own, drive, endorse and love JLR and other British brand names..... If its good enough for the Queen (or King) of England......... Thumbs Up

Very Happy

Just so you get it right, the royal gesture is a flat palm rotated casually from the wrist . This of course is easy to get confused with winding the window down and sticking your arm out with a closed fist and making a fast pumping motion like using a sink plunger Laughing 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

Does that mean that we will get to keep the £345million a year the monarchy costs the taxpayer. This figure includes the £40million pay rise they are getting this year.
