Gah, that doesn't look like a tarts car, it looks all meaty and rugged.

And yes.

I like it, I wanted a black swb GV myself for a while, I do like them.... with or without the tart! My wifes is the Lwb which is more practical. Does your new GV have the low range gearbox? If it does it will say so on rhe selector switch on the center console, bottom drivers side switch..... are you intending to run it off road at all?

It does indeedy, which is the main selling point. It will be a 90% daily driver on the motorway to work but weekends it will be in fields and covered in mud.

Don't plan on doing anything extreme or giving green laning a shot but I do need it to perform well in rural situations, rain or shine

I go shooting (clays) so there's a lack of tarmac in the fields ;)

i'm awfully curious what the rest looks like then. You sure you don't have a pic suitable for the "something for the lads" thread?

You'll have to forgive me, but females are quite a rarity on here.

I think that classes as "i used to but not anymore" bud.

Brillant, I think on the pre-facelift swb's the low box was an optional extra. Luckily my missus got the lwb which has it as standard - not that we have ever used it! It will be nice to see a new vit off road, don't forget to take photos when its in a field and stirring the mud up!
