Whoa did you really only comment to correct a 10 hour old spelling mistake? Legend.

Looks like the old one got fat and bloated.

Don't like.
Sums it up well. loads around Birmingham airport, not struck with them to be honest.

From that photo, it looks like it's got a bend in it.

The rear profile doesn't work at all. Shame, as the previous generation was sublime (for a RR).

Are you implying that disabled people are not capable of earning enough money to buy a nice car?

on motability, you would need to find about 95% or more of the value of that car as a deposit anyway. They pay for basic transport, everything over and above that has to be funded by the user.

Yeah, camera movement or just a crap camera or is it really 'bending upwards' towards the tailgate.

Hideous thing anyway...

Just shows you can't have everything in life, great car, but the owner, sadly, is disabled.
Being synical but just because its in a disabled spot doesn't make the driver disabled
This guy was!

With a fantastic sense of humour!

He doesn't drive that (Matthew Newbury's car - http://www.matthewnewbury.com/) - he has a driver smile

Worth remembering that you don't have to drive to get a disabled badge - anyone can get one for you - but there's the caveat that the disabled person much be in/using the car for the badge to be valid which is far-too-often abused.

There's a car regularly parks at the local supermarket - disabled bay right by the door every time - young man gets out and does the shopping but his Dad sits in the car looking rather unwell and I really hope that's not just to get the space wink

p.s. mind you, disabled badges are also only supposed to be used on a 'need' basis and Mr Newbury walks on a £10K artificial leg, which makes him pretty-much as mobile as me or you, so you could argue that one (see also people who have badges for occasional conditions and so on)

The woman I once saw loading boxes of beer into the boot of a Boxster, parked in a disabled bay, remains the winner. I challenged her about her badge (duly displayed on the dash of course) and she said "I have good days and bad days"...

The amount of beer suggested the next day was going to be a bad one...

Whilst it's not a patch on the previous one, it's tempered by how completely awful all the other big off-roaders look.

i thought the same... it hardly looks impounded. Smells like a stunt.

I think it is a stunt of some sort. Seen quite a few pictures of it and another car before. Probably to make people think that no one is untouchable.

It is a stunt but was genuinely siezed:

"A Met Police statement said: 'A yellow Lamborghini Aventador, which was seized for having no valid insurance in Broadwick Street, Soho, as part of Operation Cubo at 1.15am on October 25 has been put in display outside New Scotland Yard to highlight the work to tackle uninsured drivers.'"

There is a pickup I regularly see parked on double yellows, usually with a large amount of timber in/on it. Often there is someone there loading or unloading it. I know not all disabilities are visible, but that is taking the piss.

In the shot on this thread, it looks like there's grey tape over a pressed metal plate, which looks like it's an arabic one. I imagine it was shipped over for the summer and the driver hadn't bothered to sort out the necessary insurance.

I'm not fussed, really. It has served its purpose.

I'll admit to being in the 'I like it' camp. Not sure on the wheels on the one above but a good evolution of the previous RR in my opinion.

I've no doubt it'll be a massive world wide success for JLR.
