Recently had a heated discussion with one of my friends regarding his hoping to own a Range Rover Sport. I informed him that all people who drive them are "Cocks" but he didn't seem to agree. I appreciate that it is a truly monumental piece of kit - and probably very comfy etc. but I couldn't drive one without feeling a complete tw@t.

Am I on my own here, or is this a national hatred of the chavvy, pompous gits who feel that they need to drive around in these RR 'Sports'

If your friend needs a Land Rover get him to buy a Defender.

If your friend wants an RRS he is a drug dealing pimp.

End of.

I'll have a supercharged orange one please lol

Strangely, most of them seem to drive normally. Not yet seen an aggressive one.

Range Rover "Vogue" is much cooler than the HSE sport though....

In terms of drag racing, I get no satsfaction of winning/losing against a 4x4

ill stick with a jeep thanks.

not gonna argue it etc just prefer them.

I've only ever seen one courteous driver in one of them, bearing in mind I do 30,000+ miles a year at the moment lol.

Down in London RRS's seem to be badly driven cock mobiles for people lacking in the trouser department. They're also the ultimate Chelsea Tractor.

Give me a proper 4x4 anyday rather than that pile of

Anyone ever seen a man driving one?
Or is it just up here only women drive them?
Also I wouldn't say they seem to be driven particularly cockishly just with a bit of unawareness. Either that or a lack of apprecation for there own size.

Range rover sport is pointless, just buy the full size range rover, much more competent.

mkI range rover 3dr FTW!

i do

tbh.... id rather have one then an x5 or q7... unless i wanted the 7 seats of the q7...

ive driven one of road and it does surprisingly well....

tdv8 hse model for me please... wish i had that exhaust note on my jtd :devil:

RRS Is a poor mans RR, Buy a vogue if your gonna get one. My dads a big guy and got in a RRS and said it was cramped, i got in the one and i thought it was cramped and felt too tight. The vogue is alot roomier, Alot nicer looking but maybe a bit more wollowy than the RRS.

Over all RRV > RRS

on the note of being a cock....... no they arent. Anyone can be a cock in any car........... its just all stereotyping and people disliking certain cars and so on

Given the choice I'd go for option D...syphilis..chelsea tractors :nono:

I'll take a 3 series and a used defender thanks..

It's a machine better suited to the road than off it, still works fine from what I've heard but I'd have a defender anyday. I'd buy a simple diesil 90 fill it with vegetable oil instead of the black stuff and laugh under your breath as the greenpeace goons criticize you for having a clean car with a smaller footprint than a mk2 punto.

:yeahthat:

I fully understand, and am in no way trying to disagree, that the Range Rover Sport is an excellent piece of machinery.

Personally, I have never driven one, but I would imgine they are extremely comfortable and a pleasure to drive.

I also understand that not all Range Rover Sport owners are bad / inconsiderate drivers. These come in all shapes and sizes (I even got cut up by an ice cream van today!!!).

HOWEVER

I do think that the type of person who chooses to buy a Range Rover Sport is the type of person who likes to flaunt their 'wealth'. Not that there aren't just as many cars that are as expensive (or more) - it's just that the RRS is one of the most showy / "look at me". It's all a bit too much Jordan and Peter Andre for me. Typical wannabe's - wanna have fake t!ts, wanna big telly, wanna swimming pool, wanna be a footballers wife etc. Usually accompanied by an overpaid (it'd have to be) salary for doing pretty much Naff-all and with an IQ equivanlent to something I flush down the toilet every morning.
The blokes are just as bad - Usually something iffy to do with the 'construction' industry. Probably with a long line of creditors (and possibly several bankruptcies) behind them, and the usual "f@#k everyone" / "I'm alright Jack" attitude that brings decent people to their knees (financially).

Couple this with the morons who drive it because of "safety" of their little [insert the most annoying child's name] - Never mind the poor git on a bicycle who's going to end up being hosed down the nearest manhole after you mush them to a pulp (probably without even noticing). I dread to think what would happen if my little Fiat or the missus' Peugeot came up against one.

Anyways - rant over. Duggers. Out.

when a RRS is sat at the traffic lights and a Range Rover pulls alongside, the RRS driver will wish they have the RR. which is something you don't want to happen if you're buying one for image.

i think a friend told me that proper offroad wheels won't fit a RRS, anyone got evidence for otherwise?
