Range Rovers - the new car for w***ers?
Discussion
Nothing like a good bit of generalisation is there?
However, since when did ALL the arseholes switch to Range Rovers.
Usually black, blacked out windows, no indicators, full xenons and front fogs, an inch from your rear bumper, pushing out in front of you at all junctions and for the icing on the cake, one parked next to us today in the supermarket car park in a child and parent bay with 0.0 kids in it.
Maybe it's just my doseage needs upping?
Clearly this is not just RR's that do all these, but it seems more noticable these days.

I am not sure the Range Rover Sport has done the brand many favours, as these seem to have attracting a new seam of more arrogant and aggresive drivers (out of their X5s no doubt).
I think generally the Real ones are driven by the reasonably well behaved. And Discovery owners are all fine (Kenneth Noye excepted).
I park in the parent spaces at supermarkets in my elise because i am fed up with w****rs marking my car & after owning the car for two weeks some nob jockey took my wing mirror off! This doesnt make me a w***er just because i park in the bigger spaces. Totally agree otherwise though.

We do that too. Wing mirrors are not cheap any more!
most of the people i know who have one or who aspire to owning one are, simply, Grade A streaks of pi55.
But on the other hand, i know off, and spoken to a few people (both men and women} who have one and are great people.
takes all sorts.
At least it takes the stereo-typing off BMW owners a bit
phew!

When my wife has to park in a normal space and struggle to get our baby son in and out she may argue you're wrong...
Back on topic though, how do they justify ultra low profile tyres too?

phew! :Cant say that ive ever had a bad experience with any bmw drivers
apart from the over confident ones in there 1600cc with m3 badges stuck all over them.
Ueber Chav and poor quality to boot.
Best comeuppance I ever saw was in London's Oxford Street, which is designated for public transport and delivery vehicles only.
BIBs get seriously pi55ed off if you try and use it as a shortcut. Anyway, late one summer evening I hear the thump, thump, thump of an extremely loud car stereo blasting out hip hop sh1t gangsta dross. This car was, yes, you have guessed it, a blacked out, pimped up*, Range Rover Sport on massive cartwheel rims with razor thin tyres.
Posing innit, wiv my bloods.
The boys in blue nailed him in very smart order. Made my day.
* Is this an oxymoron?

I am sure that mothers struggling with kids and shopping would agree wholeheartedly. Unlikely either of you two will be winning Esther Ranzen's Hearts of Gold awards...

So accurate that its not really a generalisation. It is all of them. Well observed, It's obviously not just me that has noticed.
Having braved both Meadowhall and Mansfield 'Designer' Outlet today 
I feel well placed to assert that, while Range Rover Sports are all driven without due care and attention, twunts drive cars of all shapes and sizes.
Most pointless tttishness: middle aged bloke in a Focus gaining all of 10 seconds by utterly blocking a roundabout so as to not let someone out (why ?).
Most visible tttishness: causing an accident by carving up another motorist. Not clever at the best of times. Particularly unsharp when you're in a purple 666 reg'd Diablo. (I reported this one to the BiB 
)

(I reported this one to the BiB )About 8 months ago I was walking back home after work through a sheltered walkway (like a make-shift tunnel) on a building site. At the end of the walkway it turns into a normal, roadside path. As I got to the end of the "tunnel", an old dark green Range Rover decided to drive onto the pavement just infront of the walkway exit, at speed, and then do a U-Turn to go back up the road he came down.
If I was about 10 seconds quicker I would have been killed.
