You obviously never did your homework then 
Of course its not a RR.........anyways, I hope you don't encounter the millions or problems the UK market has suffered with these cars.
Problems asside they are a really nice motor.

That said, Rodney has stated that his wife has had an RR for 4 years now so he's quite familiar with the issues. He knows what he's getting into. I love the car and I hope he has a trouble-free experience with it.

My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
Anyways I'm not a spokesman for LR, all I have to base my judgement on is having owned one for 4 years and like I said it's been pretty darned reliable, no less so than either of my two BMWs. Regardless, when someone buys a low volume $100k car, they generally are looking for something other than appliance-like reliability given their willingness to entertain such an irrational purchase in the first place.

Not really...the only thing close is the name. They're very different vehicles, different frame, body, interior...about as much in common as a 7 series has to a 5.
But anyway, I'm not picking on you about this issue. I really like it and congratulating you on it.

Maybe we are talking about two different people lol. Must be. Her last name is Haron and I'm not sure if she was formerly a teacher when she was 40-50 years younger (yes this lady is 90 yrs old!). lol.
There were two black Enzo's running around town, one belonged to the owner of Fresno Distributing but he sold that for a Veyron (but he drove a F430 before he got the Enzo to compensate while waiting for his order on the Enzo) and the other black one I'm not sure of. Haven't seen any Enzo's too much lately, been seeing a lot of Bentleys around.
Haven't seen too many Supercharged RRs yet also lol

Really? I've never seen any Enzo's in Fresno. How do you know this stuff? I've definately seen a lot of Bentleys, and more Maseratis. Seen a couple Lambo's. Have you been to Eurosunday in Fresno? Some pretty cool cars come out to that. Its held on the first Sunday of every month.

i have a further 2 friends with them also and they've never had any faults also! i believe its like most things, there is a few bad apples, just look at the E60, IMO I've never seen a car with so many problems and the dealer network is atrocious!!

I think the person you are thinking of is the mother in law of the person I am thinking of. Haha.

damn brother, haven't you heard about the recession???
NICE rover. I looked at a RR sport prior to my 5... it was very nice but too small for an SUV and I just couldnt bring myself to pull the trigger on the RR, much less the supercharged verion. Very, VERY nice.

What? Eurosunday? Sorry to jack the thread, but can I have more info?
Basically people with some really nice, expensve cars, and some without so nice cars, or cars that have been modded, or unnique cars like Delorans, come out on the first sunday of every month to a location, usually Bentleys Market at Friant and Ft. Washington, and hang out and socialize for a while, show off their cars, and then afterwards everyone who wants to goes on a drive up into the foothills or mountains to like Shaver Lake or something. It's really cool, I recommend going to check it out. It's free, and no matter what you drive, you just have to sign up and you can show your car if you want. If you want to go on the drive as well into the foothills you can do that even if you didnt show your car. You need like a walkie talkie to communicate between cars and they give you road maps.
On the website, you need to register to see it, but it doesn't take that much perosnal info or take very long. It's a pretty cool concept, there are cool cars, and everyone is really nice. Location does change though. Next one is at Le Parisien Cafe at Palm and Nees, it's the last one of the season. It will be on November 1st. It goes from 830-1030 am and a drive afterwards maybe.
