Agreed though that it's probably better than a WR1, in terms of image at least.

I`m excited about it.
I am mature enough to take on board other peoples opinions but I think everyone should base their opinions on actual facts rather than ****.
It takes a fair bit to impress me with 4 wheels anyway and I have to say it took me all of about 5 mins to say "where do I sign???"
Right up my street at my age this bad boy. har har har har har Marleeeeeeeen!!!

The facts are of course that the dregs of our society have taken the Range Rover Sport as their own. I believe Jade of 'useless slag off a reality TV program' fame owns one.

You seriously think being on television and being in 'every glossy crap mag' are good things?
You seriously think I'm jealous of someone who decided to spend 60K on a Range Rover Sport?
I seriously think you're an idiot if those things are the case.
For the record I could buy a Range Rover Sport for cash but I can think of far better things to do with the money.......................

My brother and his girlfriend both sell Landies and these Sports are flying out, he brought one round the day and they are enourmous cars.........very gauche but with a quirky charm akin to the ultimate Transit sport conversion

May I suggest in reply to your statement 'go get a life' that you 'go **** a duck you piece of crap'
.......and no I've never spent 60K on a car, as I already said I can think of far more rewarding things to do with the money.

It's just a fact.

And you know one other thing, there's a great difference between having 60k cash, and having 60k cash to go and spend on a car, and somehow I get the feeling you don't fall into the latter, the fact you can find more rewarding things to do with 60k makes me think in reality you don't have 60k to go and spend on a car?

As for the 60K thing for fear of being accused of 'blowing my own trumpet' I have far in excess of that figure available in liquid funds. Should I feel the need to spend that figure or more on a car I could, however I don't. I'd never spend more than a couple of months wages on a car.

As they will be "retiring" early in the new year and selling up, they dont need the off-road sh*t kicker, my mum wants to punt the Merc on and they still need something that can tow a trailer with a car on as the old boy wants a hobby lol. Seems like a fairly reasonable and practicle choice to me.
As for A.B. - Fair play, if you got it you might as well spend it (and I quite like them too!)

Another poster was asking what my qualifications are for making comment as I 'don't spend much' (well around the 20K mark so fairly cheap) on a car. What qualifies me is the fact I've driven a huge range of cars, am knowledgeable about the market and have excellent taste.
Ask me the question again without being a pathetic loser scoobydoo and I *might* tell you what I bought with my 2 months or thereabouts worth of salary.
