Well done! There was never a doubt in my mind 🤥 They’re the best cars in the world.

I'm a truck driver and often find myself on the road between 3.30am and 6am and in the summer on a nice day there is nothing quite like it...it's spiritual and most peopke miss it.

Putting reliability and running cost aside, the driving experience of these cars is outstanding.

I'm going through a breakup right now and this is exactly what I needed. Thanks for all the amazing content, Joel

Anyone who drives that series Rover knows what fantastic vehicles they really are. Quiet. Comfortable. Rattle-free, Sumptuous interior. Wonderful engines. And for me, extremely reliable even with over 220K miles. Will never sell it.

Great stuff Joel! Really professionally edited, not missing old Top Gear anymore now 🤗 More please!

[KatyEatsStuff]

You've worked so hard on this and it really shows. The editing is fantastic and wow, what a challenge to undertake..! Well done honey, I'm so proud of you.

I regularly do 700 mile trips (once or twice a month). My trick is also to hook up behind artic lorries being very careful not to be a pest to other HGV drivers. When the weather is between 10-20DegC, I get a touch over 70mpg in my 2013 Ford Focus 1.6 diesel.

[johngriffin]

Amazing result for the 3.6. The secret is to keep the speed down as the L322 shape is not very aerodynamic. As soon as you start nudging 70 it really drops off fast and if you can keep it 60-65 they will reward you with this kind of distance. In almost any other car going that speed feels like you are wasting time but in an L322 it’s time we’ll spent.

Truth be told, it was this very video which motivated me to buy this Range Rover.

Having driven its competitors - namely the Toyota Land Cruiser V8 - I’ve come to the conclusion that it gives an unparalleled driving experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, classic Top Gear vibes! Shame you’re giving this away, I would love to see you run it all the way to empty and find out exactly how many miles you can get out of it, a trip to Monaco and back would figure that out

[eddiemonsoon]

Watched this start to finish. Excellent content and great to see some mutual adoration for this beautiful old beast. Great vid Joel!!

[liamcinq]

I can't read all the comments but I typed a throwaway comment that you have to do Scotland again after the L405 video then you've only gone and bloody done it!

Top man Joel!

I used to have a 3.6 one of these. A truly wonderful car. Money no object and only allowed one car for the rest of my life, it would be a Range Rover. It’s harmed by the fuel consumption and tax cost. Servicing doesn’t need to be too expensive if you can DIY the basics and have a good independent specialist. Generally the car did about 26mpg over the ten years with the car but I did an economy run a few times and got her to 40mpg. Tricks were as Joel suggested, minimal acceleration so the turbos don’t spool up, anticipation, observation and using manual gear mode so you can select a high gear ASAP and lock it in.

What an incredible achievement Joel and a truly epic video. Been following you since the Z4 and this is certainly one of the best. Keep it up 👍

[samwebb]

My FAVOURITE part of this is all the Range Rover enthusiast YouTubers roasting you. Ha! Great video dude.

[andrewmcgowan]

Well Joel that's put the doubters to bed, just as good as Mr Clarksons epic Audi adventure, I was on the edge of your seat willing you along. This was truly a wonderful blog..Thanks again for letting us share your fantastic journey.
It would be great to see it compared with the latest range rover doing the same journey.

[yoof]

On the fence over subscribing, and having watched a few of your video’s before, this one swung it. Well done.

I particularly liked your reflection on how lucky we are to be free to do these things, without question or hindrance, and explore such a beautiful UK 🇬🇧 - at that point you had me 😂
