Very cool to see the F-Pace doing so well. I wish it was big enough to hold me and passengers.

I am excited for them to get their EV version here.

Anyone know if Land Rover is still using Ford engines or did they move to producing their own finally?

Glad to see the F type doing well, it is one of my favorite automobiles.
