The LR3 is gonna be late (as expected)...damm, I'm gonna hafta' buy new tires...

for the GTI...I'm almost down to the wear bars...perfectly symmetric wear on these Pilot Sports...nearly 28,000 miles!!! which I think is awesome! I was hoping to trade it in without buying new ones...but I've probably got another 3-4000 miles to go with the GTI...so I think I need new ones...looks like Kumhos or something relatively cheap...not putting on Pilot Sports and then getting rid of 'em!

Land Rover is way behind at getting the HSE models out (perhaps a Nav system shortage or something)...I have a VIN assigned but have no idea what stage of construction it is in...looks like another 2 months or so before I see it! Damm!!!

Call around and see if you can find a set of "take offs" maybe save a few bucks since you're trading

it in anyway. IIRC the big tire store out there is "Big O", we have Discount tire and since a lot of local dealers use them they always have a set of "take offs" laying around. It would be better than new!

Thanks G! It's kinda "plain"...but I really like it...

The HSE model is supposed to make up 20% of the LR3s...but so far is making up only ~1-2% of incoming vehicles...ah, well, that's fine...I could really use the extra month or two to find some money to pay for it!

How's the little girl doing??? We really want some pictures!!! We were trying not to pressure you knowing you are probably experiencing some sleep deprivation...but dammit we are getting impatient!!!

There's an LR3 in the hospital lot here...I see it in the morning...the guy or chick who owns it is probably gonna catch me checkin' it out some day...but it's the first I've seen with the black interior...kinda' dour (like the VP

but I like it!
