That's Orkney Grey isn't it? That's what worries about it, looks great when the sun is shining but a bit dull when it isn't. Each to his own of course.

RE: Caught sneaking around in the US

Stornoway Grey is one of LR's biggest selling colours after Black in the UK, it works well in dull and boring Britian and you'l love it in the winter when the raods are dirty because you can get away without washing it for weeks and weeks and the road muck doesn't show like it would on a black car or a white car. I'm on my 2nd Stornoway Grey and changing to white because i thought the car looks great in White BUT wish now I had specced Orkney.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

I know your pain all too well... Lived in London for 18 months a couple of years back when my employer at the time transferred me to Europe. Loved the place, still visit at least once a year but can't say I miss the weather.

Spent a magical Christmas a few years ago with family in CT and Darling. Lovely country.
