As for A.B. - Fair play, if you got it you might as well spend it (and I quite like them too!)

It was great at it's job of driving me across Europe for work in extreme comfort. Now I'm changing offices the car is going.
Maybe I'll start a thread on here where people can give me advice on what to spend my bonus on?

I can assure you the old boy doesnt like throwing money down the toilet, far from it (my mum on the other hand...
). At the end of the day, they've got the money, they've worked hard for it so why shouldnt they buy (arguably) the finer things?
Or are you one of these
"Oh yeah I can afford it (*cough - b*****ks) but I dont buy it because Im far too concerned that people will think - OOO look at him/her spending their money on expensive things".
At the end of the you cant take it with you.
And buying a car isnt an investment is it.

why do range rover sport drivers think they can go offroading, when you would be better off in a normal 4wd car.
The RR sport is low as ****, with 20 inch rims and low pros. You aint going offroad sunshine.

My God done a bit of work to pay for the bus, come back, and seemed to have opened up a rather big can of worms 
Look I`m not braggin about this motor and it aint costing me £60K.
A bit under that.
Oh and I dont have that dosh in my back pocket I`m financing it.
There is that ok now can I just get on with waiting till Janurary when it arrives.
Oh and its my choice to spend it on a car as I am lucky to have a nice house and motor bikes and stuff already. Oh and Jade of course
There now you sad ***** with nothing to do but moan about total bollox go away and find another far less interesting topic to harp on about.
You know who you are!!!

Tut tut Rabi..erm Torpid. Don't you know that ***** waving about how much you earn is even MORE crass than buying a Rangie Sport?
Good man Arron for buying what the f*ck he wants and not giving a toss about anyone who says otherwise.

I for one am 31 (so I hopefully dont fall under the poor delisional old men heading), I have my own business - but I dont own a Lambo or a RR etc but if in 5/10 years time I can afford to spend my hard earned on a flash motor I feckin will do and screw everyone that thinks I should get something that blends in with the rest of boring eurocrap. As for my folks, they've worked hard all their lives (currently 7 days a week) and now want to enjoy the fruits of their labour... so grow up and less of the green eye'd monster - its always the same on here!
Arron, apologies for crappin on yer thread mate. I've said my bit and thats that. So enjoy your new motor when you get it
Jeff

When I said "BORING EUROCRAP" that does OBVIOUSLY not include things like Lambos, Porsches etc etc
To put it in perspect lets use the this as an example - someone is considering getting a supercharged RR sport then someone suggests an Audi a6 as an alternative... PMSL Thats the kind of thing I was referring to. IE: not quite in the same league (and dont bother with the RS6 argument - they're just as ostentatious in reality)
I notice by the way, you couldnt actually answer my question (or just chose to ignore it because you know its right) and chose to pick on something so obvious its sad.. read the first paragraph again and come back when you've got something constructive to say instead of trying to be absusive!

Even though a A6 for the same money as the RR sport would **** all over it, whilst having a better interior, being more capable off road and more reliable - your cracked up.
You need to re-write that sentence your reffering to if you want my reply.

And you're right I am cracked up... at your pi55 poor responses wittering on about the greatness of Audi's. If you do go back over it, you'll see the point Im making is about choices - personal choices not anything to do with buying car a over car b

- you're kidding right the RRS has the same chassis as the Discovery3 & that is AWESOME off road - interior is hugely subjective - have you seen inside the top of the range RRS? - and reliability... is yet to be seen

Man how fcukin stupid are you SUV drivers. I dont give a toss how good the chassis is as with the 20 inch low profiles, and low ground clearance sports suspension the RR sport will be ****e offroad and if you think otherwise you really are a ****.

If this thread was 'just spent 60K on a 997' you wouldn't have seen a single negative comment from me because I believe they are an excellent choice in the sector. My comments are based on the fact that this individual has just been a bought a car with a crass image and he could have done better. Just my opinion which as I've already said he probably doesn't give a toss about.
