Is the Range Rover Sport the apex in arsehole wheels ?

According to some in the Bertone owners club the SAAB 2.0 turbo or the Vectra V6 are good performance swaps for the G. I fancy the V6 with 6 speed swap. And of course I'd keep the body as standard as possible.

The minor did start that way. The mechanics were seriously modded until he started on the body

One roll over in one of those and your head would be found couple of hundred yards away from your body.

It has rollover protection bars that are supposed to deploy 90ms. However, as they were designed and built by JLR I wouldn't count on it.

I can also imagine all kind of horrible accidents whereby the fast-deploying rollover bars get entangled in the occupants' long hair/scarf/hoodie as they shoot up, and take their heads clean off.

Must ask an acquaintance in the traffic police about these things. Frequent attender of rolled SUVs.

My daughter I ride sometimes ride our motocross bikes here:

So I've seen loads of rolled 4x4s. FJ Cruisers roll really well but a VW Tiguan that had a slow speed roll looked like it had been hit by a Paveway.

Looks like a lovely spot, and no doubt vastly improved by the soul-rending tortured-metal squeal of a couple of dirt bike engines.

Better than listening to the uncooth noise of Australians....

Looks like BMW are making a move to reclaim their king of the dicks car crown from the more recent pretenders:



BMW scores zero in US pedestrian safety testing. From what I understand in the video these are tests for vehicles with pedestrian collision systems, testing how well they work to stop the car automatically. Most of the cars do a good job tbf.

'Smelly nappy' car speeding at 118mph

A car with two young children inside has been stopped by police after travelling at more than 100mph due to a "smelly nappy".

The Range Rover was stopped on the M180 near Wrawby, North Lincolnshire after speeding at up to 118mph, Humberside Police said.

In a tweet posted by the force at 15:46 GMT, officers said the driver had been reported to the courts.

A "smelly nappy" was the reason given for the speed, the tweet said.

Reasons not to buy a Land Rover, #785219.

There's a new fleet wife fault - the integrated phone/entertainment system has started to make a tap-tap-tap noise even when it's all switched off. It is, according to my fuckwit neighbour who has bought one of these piles of shit, so massively distracting that he can't drive the thing.

JLR says that it will be a month before they can fixed it with a software patch.

Ho fucking ho I thought, as I climbed into my Nissan Pathfinder, sans tapping noise and appalling service....

Was it Eddie Stobart who was shown on the box buying a new motor and told the dealer to stop all the bleeps: sorry, not possible. So he took it to some jack the lad who did it in minutes.

Talking of JLR — my friend has a Jag estate. It has a special button on the inside I’d the boot lid to make it shut without having to pull the boot down. Do you think that or any of its other fancy electronics has ever worked properly? Has it fuck. That car is forever going back the the JLR mechanics who scratch their heads and do nothing to fix it.

For fifty quid a day I'll come and sit in your passenger seat drumming my fingers across your dashboard, for that authentic Land Rover Experience.

You'd be doubly good at it, as just like a genuine JLR part, you'll break pretty soon.

Almost as if making cars that go at double the speed limit and then marketing them to utter helmets was a shit idea or something.
