Instagram Land Rover community... Not Facebook.
Facebook is what you make it, always has been. But now it's just really terrible, purely because of the utter crap that people feel the need to 'share'. Like stupid viral videos, or 'positivity quotes'. Even close friends can share that crap, throwing it up in your feed.
I've spent weeks 'hiding' people, to slim down the crap.
I still 'need' FB as a lot of the trials clubs I'm in, use it as a platform for upcoming events, pretty useful.

So why Instagram ?
You can follow who the hell you want,or just see what they post if they aren't 'private', it's truly global and there's a massive Land Rover community.
There's help if you need it, inspiration, but mainly photos, it's all about photos. Or videos...

There's a few off this forum with tens of thousands of followers and benefit from discounts and free stuff...

It's nothing like Facebook, so might be worth giving it a try, Land Rover content is massive, especially if you don't get enough from the various forums.

Agree 100%. That's the exact reason I binned off FB and moved to Instagram. I enjoy scrolling through the pics I've chosen to view, while my wife sits there ranting at whatever rubbish her 'friends' have posted on her FB.
And yes I follow CY88, and yourself Thumbs Up Instagram: L90andy

It is a struggle knowing who is who between forum, FB and instagram, hence I've added my instagram name here and D2N name to instagram. James

I’ve got a nice amount of free stuff through Instagram. Merc paid me to test drive a V6 X Class for two days. To be fair it was a cracking bit of kit. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

I'm not signed up to Instagram but I do use it to check certain accounts I like.
Searching by a hashtag will take you down a never-ending rabbit hole filled with "look what I'm wearing, eating, have bought, been" saddos. Best avoided IMO.

Yours is decent Greeni. Grafty's also.

Never looked at Facebook. Never will.

Yeah I'm a fan of Instagram! Loads of land rover stuff, and follow many of this forum on there too.
