What makes a Range Rover driver?

[Dan]

I had a friend who used to work at a Land Rover dealer... to give an idea of their major clientelle now, he said they'd regularly have Range Rovers traded in for new at a couple of years old and on coming to clean them out, several times they found Rolexes, gold chains and even bundles of cash left in them, forgotten about.

I guess if you buy £75k of car every couple of years, you might not notice losing £500 under your seat.

I'm lucky if I find a half eaten wispa or twix in the back

I take my RR sport off roading and green laning and it has 20" wheels on and its blooody amazing!! For me theres not a better 4x4 around and if i sound snobby here i dont really care and the people that think they not, are just jealous cause they cant afford one

Going by this logic if I don't like something that I can't afford I only dislike it because I can't afford it.

If I win the Euro millions on Friday will I suddenly start liking Katie Price?

A range rover sport is not a proper range rover! When was the last time you saw someone fording a stream with 22's and low pro tyres! don't see the point especially when the awesome 'charged 4.2 v8 can be had in the ordinary range rover.

Agreed, get a real one! But who wants a bloody petrol one? Tdv8 has to be the way...

Some rangie owners are 'cars' true but there are the few who use them properly, for towing and off raid purposes as well as heating up the uk

I do wish landrover would bin the bling 2010 style and go back a few years.

No, I think you'll find you dislike her because she is a 'peach'

Sounds like someone cant afford a real one

usuall driven by Tina who is as blinged up as the RR, seatbelt-less, kid sliding about the rear as they carve up traffic from the middle lane of the motorway on a rush job back to boarding school and organising her social calendar by hooking an iphone under her neck at the same time...

Then there's Rupert who's a bit of a t&&t in the city, looks like his wife has done a job on the local Boden warehouse to dress him in because he's never been to a shop in his life and he'll be sure to look down on you at every opportunity. Has yet to learn where the indicators are and has a penchant for diving across 3 lanes of the motorway to make the exit. He'll be fine with that because the RR is so tough, if he causes an accident, it'll be unlikely he'll notice and he can get some lacky to t-cut out the damage

Big, big fan of Range Rovers myself. Though it must be said that my real love is for the Rover V8 powered ones. We have a 3.9 Classic and also a 4.6 P38a in our household.
I don't see myself as a :corey:, but no doubt many would disagree!

A few years ago i organised the Land Rover show at Eastnor Castle and a guy turns up and buys an intermediate off road pass. He was a doctor who had just picked up a brand new Range Rover, literally a few days before. Anyway long and short, it ended up on its roof, on the intermediate course. Ouch!!! Only one that did end up on its roof the entire weekend.... We had a good laugh about that

Well, almost everyone around the northeast who has a range rover appears to be a fist magnet of the highest kind, ignorant, poor driving **** gravy of the worst kind, im sure there are exceptions.

Lest not forget what Clarkson/Topgear think of Audi drivers....
