Is the Range Rover Sport the apex in arsehole wheels ?

[A380]

Just spotted this in Mayfair. I wish I could have taken pictures of the front and/or side as well. Truly magnificient

Looks like you have a missile on your bike...

 

[T & P]

What's hanging off the back of it?

I think it's of the rear lights, the lightbulb part of it anyway.

Looks like you have a missile on your bike...

It does, and often I wish the bike did come with ground-to-lemming missiles, frankly.

 

[not-bono-ever]

That is gopping. It’s mad that a boxy off roader designed for the shah is now a status symbol worthy of patrolling the streets of Mayfair. We are fucked that this is considered an aspirational goal

 

[not-bono-ever]

well yeh

It is when you realise the price some people have paid for their cars that mental problems can arise, my car is probably worth £500 now slightly dented as it is. But I can be driving on the motorway with a RR Sport which might have cost its driver £70,000 and is certainly costing them a factor more in petrol compared to my Corsa.

I don't have an issue with people owning exotic cars so will chat to a Ferrari or Maclaren or Maserati owner and can love the vehicle because they are special. I guess I shouldn't feel the way I do about RR Sports though, perhaps the owner bought it for a similar reason the Ferrari driver did. Don't know.

When I was a biker, some 25 years ago, Volvos were our enemies, the marketing was pretty much built like a tank you won't get injured in a Volvo. This despite that Volvo drivers then had a false sense of security and didn't pay enough attention to their surroundings, causing them among other things to pull out on motorcycles because they couldn't be bothered to look properly.

Perhaps it is my Volvo feelings that drive my mistrust of RR Sports, you are certainly safer in a RR than you are in a Corsa?

It seems to be this sense of safety and security that is a central part of the marketing of SUVs. "You must be an irresponsible parent if you don't protect your kiddies properly on the school run by driving an SUV"

Isn't it more "Do you know you can't really drive that well? buy an SUV so YOU won't get hurt when you inevitably crash cos you're shit" ?

 

[Chilli.s]

Isn't it more "Do you know you can't really drive that well? buy an SUV so YOU won't get hurt when you inevitably crash cos you're shit" ?

And shit city drivers who when out of town scare themselves on country lanes then think that a suv is safer.

No injuries here. Surprised the lorry driver escaped unscathed though:

The lorry doesn’t decelerate much as a result of the collision, so wouldn’t have thought there would be a serious injury from that.

The Evoque is interesting because they have a 600m wading depth and there is no way that water is 600m deep.

They probably thought they could go through at speed.

Ah, I was thinking yesterday of the spot of road on the bottom image, as it's on my daily commute and it has lots of previous history with flooding. Hasn't disappointed

Not if you adjust for the fact that range rover drivers are stupid cunts.

Moment £40k supercar is towed after 'show-off' driver gets stuck on beach

THIS is the hilarious moment a £40,000 Nissan supercar had to be towed in front of a jeering crowd after its “show-off” driver got stuck on a beach. The red-faced man was forced to call…

www.thesun.co.uk

I've seen that car around enough times - and yes, the driver is a Muppet..!

Also, its not a beach - its a wee bit of sand at the end of the ramp where they launch/pull boats on to trailers.

They likely just broke down there, then the flood came after.

 

[DownwardDog]

Nothing wrong with the wading capabilities of the Tesla Model 3.

Even better, it appears that the driver of that car is currently banned for driving without insurance - He was hauled back into court to explain himself this morning..!

It is covered in other media but that link kept the audio. No other particular reason for choosing them.

G wagens. I can cope with them in German forestry industry and used by farmers and shit, but Derby= no

crass

Seemed like a good place to stick this. Here's my car after a nuts and bolts restoration which cost over £300,000. He did not have the receipts with him.

I saw today a 2021 Bentley Bentayga. The rear lights are indescribably ugly- far worse in the flesh than in any photograph. The looked like a pair of stretched prolapsed arseholes, frankly, more so when they're illuminated.
