Is the Range Rover Sport the apex in arsehole wheels ?

[Tom A]

"Range Rover Sport SVR can forge rivers and sprint like a super car"

Perfect for London and the river Thames.

That's cool, but can it get in the sea?

I was behind one of these earlier. It was a narrow two way side street trying to pull out on to a two way main road.
Unusually for a beemer, it seemed like it was taking a long time to pull out; it wasn't indicating of course. As he was too big to
see my car behind him, I gave a quick friendly hoot. A minute or two passed and it had clearly been a while since traffic had driven passed
so a more aggressive hoot; nothing. In the end, I had to get out of my car and tell him I was waiting to pull out and could not get passed him
and did not wish to wait while he finished what he was doing on his phone! ASSHOLE!

The thing about this ugly BMW is that it is exactly what a teenage lover of hot cars would do to a normal car. Ultra wide wheels, jacked up and massive wheel arches. It just looks like a toy because of it.

Mind you it has to be said, go faster boys (and I think they are mainly boys) exist even in normally tasteful Germany. I have seen plenty of stylish Mercedes made to look odd with massive rear wings and the like.

normally tasteful Germany.

U wot?

 

[kebabking]

Business up front, party behind... Mr fucking tasty!

But like this?

You can tick both boxes with a Lamborghini Urus.

Wha... why?

 

[dessiato]

Wha... why?

Why not? I'd buy it, if I were in the market for that type of vehicle.

I'd change the wheels. I don't like those very much.

Eta imagine it in a semi-matte black, black windows, very aggressive. Now, where's my lottery tickets?

Would look pretty good cruising downtown LA.

Not so sure about Dorking though.

Like that. Looks like something from the Cursed Earth from my 2000AD reading childhood. Agreed though, probably not so good in suburbia.

Needs more laser cannons If you are going to build a rugged 4*4 why make it look like a normal car? That thing probably costs an insane amount of money and looks like the new discovery which looks quite bland to my eyes.

 

[DownwardDog]

Wha... why?

Because premium brand 4x4s are very profitable. It also celebrates Lambo's 4x4 heritage.

 

[ringo]

Reminds me of a Tonka toy I had too.
I had one of these, but sure I had another similar one I can't find a pic of too:

The army brought something based on this turned out expensive and a bit crap looks cool though.

If I was going to spend vast sums on an impractical 4*4 I'd at least want people to look at it that Urus looks too bland to stand out too compromised to be any good off road.Why buy

Bland seems to be the way forward for these mega priced boxes. Two of the rich students at the Uni I work at drive these from Mercedes/AMG and Hummer:

Cars 10 year olds would choose. The spooks I lived next door to in Basrah Palace started off with a Mercedes Amg it was black with blacked out windows
just like the bad guys would drive. Looked cool, so cool everyone knew spooks drove it was exchanged for some ratty Nissan van.

If I had around £200k to spend I'd go for the G63.

Mental age is around 10 though, tbf.

Fortunately I no longer live in Dorking.

If you're lucky enough to win the lottery and want to splash out on a supercar, at least spend it on something that is beautifully designed and engineered. Like a Ferrari, or an Aston Martin DB9- or even better, a DB5. Not an oversized square box of a car created to appeal to simple-minded footballers and people with far more money than common sense or taste.

But when I win the lottery I will have a DB9 as a matter of course. I also will have more money than sense.

I got a lift in a Merc SLC yesterday - top down, acceleration demonstrated at every opportunity. Yes, one of my bosses is having a major mid-life crisis.

I think this might be described as an "I don't care if I'm a cunt" wagon!

 

[kebabking]

There's a joke there involving the State Pension and a man who finds himself in A&E once a fortnight, but I can't quite put my finger on it....

What's not to like? Almost everything about it except it's a Bentley, and then only because of the heritage.

Nothing should be that shiny.

 

[not-bono-ever]

When I worked in Berkeley Square, the streets were full of these and their ilk on a summers evening. fucking awful.

If going to have a gold car, may as well do it properly.

 

[T & P]

I wonder how much money Cash 4 Gold would offer for that car.

You have the registration number; go for it!
