Very nice Jim, I like 'em. Saw a black one yesterday, was a little special, big rims, smoked glass, quad exhaust pipes, looked like it said "K A H N" across the back in spaced out letters ????

Hey, nice car, I especially like the burnt paintwork. Pity someone has parked their new RRS in the way ;-)

How anything that heavy can be called 'Sport' is beyond me... didn't Sniff Petrol describe it as being heavier than a supertanker full of moons?

I was driving through poshsville the other day (well, seems a bit of a dive in reality imo, but who am to argue ) and I was stuck behind of a convoy of the things heading towards the locals school to drop the kids. All the same colour, all with pimp tints, and all causing parking mayhem. The only exception was there was a black tinted X5 and Cayenne mixed in with them

Must be the modern alternative to the mother's sewing circle

Must admit I like the look of the RR sport. But I think I'd have a red one, with clear windows...just to be different

had they driven the supercharged version ?? they do come in a very quick mode, and then again would you call a Subaru 2.0 (classic) a sport, subaru did, but it was slow, beyond me as well

Power doesn't make a 2.5 ton car sporty though, even if it is nippy off the line. "Sport" in most motoring context is just marketing flannel anyway.

"Sporty front foglamps" anyone?

have to agree, ( you would never catch subaru doing that would you ) i am not to bothered about whether it is "sporty" or not, it is a nice bit of machinery, it will get off road use down here, planning trips already and not to buy it because of a marketing tag by landrover seems a bit shorts sighted.
