I saw this paint job today and thought to myself if I bought that car I’d pay to have it removed. Very very similar car too
Is the Range Rover Sport the apex in arsehole wheels ?

I saw it Norwood way

Hardly getting over it.
The car looks fucking embarrassed!
Bahnhof Strasse
Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Yesterday took BB2 to Tower Bridge and there was an Aventador that drove over and back again, revving the fuck out of it all the way even though it was in a snail crawl traffic jam. It occurred to me that that car is a good thing, or else the driver would need to get a t shirt printed or something to let everyone know what a massive dickhead he is.

I saw a purple one over the weekend with a woman struggling behind the wheel.

It's probably really hard to drive one of those things in slow traffic. Which of course is an excellent reason not to allow them on the roads, or anywhere else.

Pretty sure you can't get finance on an Audi unless you can prove that youre a Massive Cunt.
If that's real boy is that a feat of human skill and strength.

One on one? You're crazy.
Saw one yesterday when I was driving back from Bath , looked them up, top of the range is 500k! It was just a big black SUV , but I guess it let's people know you can afford a Rolls .

The Aventador is relatively easy to drive in traffic as it has good power steering and not terrible visibility/mirrors. The Lambo dealer once lent me a (red) one for an afternoon while they borrowed my late, lamented Periscopo Countach for display. I would absolutely love one if I had the money. I'd get an SV in Viola Parsifae.
Flawed in some ways, unsurpassed brilliance in others. We'll miss it when it's gone.

I don't know about 4x4's but this is seriously unpleasant....in the UK as well https://flipboard.com/topic/norfolk...eRw6yge9HzNO73g:a:2533536023-1645cf10b2/co.uk

Trying the find the next noun to verb
I have a Soft-Roader, I live in a more rural area and as my last car was a fiesta which needed 3 new wheels (not tyres) due to pot holes hit, not going above the speed limit I might add, I felt I needed something a little more robust. There are also a lot of single track roads and when meeting other cars on these I try to move into the verge to allow normal cars to pass on the road, but it's (un)surprising the number of Range Rover drivers who don't want to get a tyre dirty and force other cars into the verge.

Nearly Top score here. White RR derivative with a personalised plate. Driver pulls up and dumped his red bull can in the gutter and sauntered off to the pub. I watched it from afar. He would have got top points if it had been a convertible

New Landcruiser 300 that will probably never come to the UK. No V8s, only V6s, so Queensland is in mourning.
It's probably great off road and the interior won't fall apart like an RR.

It looks great; an interesting blend of retro and modern. The fitment is whack though but almost nobody will run stock wheels.

I fear your time spent Down Under has clouded your judgement (tongue-in-cheek comment btw
). Regardless of whether one likes the concept of SUVs or not, at least some of them can be described as aesthetically pleasing and not tacky.Most American vehicles of the segment firmly fall into the crass-as-fuck category. Much as a wanker penis extension vehicle the Range Rover or the German premium offerings might seem to those who are not a fan of them, at least some models have a degree of elegance or slickness in their design that transmits a degree of admirable design and engineering quality.
That Toyota doesn’t start off too badly from the front, and the headlights are fairly pleasant to the eye, but the back end looks like what you would expect a five-year-old to produce if asked to draw a car. It almost feels like an aspirational Range Rover for people who like pick-up trucks.
On that subject, even though they are (thankfully) rare in Europe, we should really have a dedicated thread to pickup trucks. Surely the ugliest, most pointless, wasteful, and least practical vehicle ever produced in human history for the overwhelming majority of people who choose to but one.
I really struggle to think of many scenarios where their design would be advantageous over SUVs, people carriers, actual vans or anything else for pretty much 90% of those who buy them, over their lifetime anyway.

Most pickups are body on chassis designs with solid axles so you get a lot more payload and towing capacity. RR towing capacity: 3,500kg Ford F350 towing capacity: 17,000kg

Pick-ups are great for site work, easy to chuck an IBC in the back. I had a Mitsubishi L200 twin cab thing when I was working down at Coed Darcy, miles of gravel tracks to play on around the derelict oil refinery. Better suspension than a Land Rover type thing. I did manage to go about four times the site speed limit in places. You’ll see them being driven by farmers and builders a lot, plus the odd mid-life crisis bellend (though those tend to be the shiny ones with stuff like ‘barbarian’ written on the side).

Compared to the new LR 'Defender' it's a beauty queen.
