motoring life




There is a new/old battered Land Rover at Fool Stables. I am both glad and sorry to say that it replaces the Renault 4 L in the affections of the Fool on The Hill. Make no mistake, I still love the 4 L dearly, and stand by everything I said about her (yes, cars have a gender), but where the 4 L is cute and dainty and delicate, the Land Rover is square and tough and an altogether more serious piece of kit. I have always wanted one, and now I have it, and the fact is I love it more.

No Middle Eastern potentate collecting his latest gold-plated Roller from a posh West End dealer – or superstar fooballer his purple Lambo from Sant’Agata Bolognese – has anything on a Fool and his Landy.

Down-at-heel aristo car porn trumps bling any day of the week. (Or so we console ourselves thinking.)
