Ahem...
saw that (or another one) on the m40 a few weeks back. couldn't take a photo myself as i was travelling at a brisk pace.

i can't see why there's a specific "sport" model anyway. even the normal RRs i see around the surrey/hants border are only ever used on the roads. a bit of mud or a puddle in the road makes them slow down and swerve around it. as for speed bumps...you'd think they were 6ft high they way these motors approach them. places like guildford are a nightmare when you've got one of these tanks being driven down the middle of the road because the driver isn't aware of the size of their own vehicle.
rant over.

My brother lives in Coventry, I think it was on his cycle commute.
aaaah, that makes sense. it was hogging the middle lane btw. love seeing manufacturers test mules about, mcclarens in woking etc.
i used to live in newport pagnell (2000-03) just down from AM on the main road by the 2 pubs. sometimes late at night/early morning you'd hear a rumble and get out of bed to see some new model (DB9 ?) shoot past with orange patches all over it.
saturday mornings were great because you could walk up the road and see all manner of classic AMs outside the workshop which had been delivered for servicing.

DC=Daniel Craig? He turned up in a New FFRR to the Skyfall launch, and Skyfall itself was full of JLR products, so it's a sensible guess! That'd be pretty cool in my eyes 
article said:
Land Rover has released a rather blurry image which tells us very little about its new Range Rover Sport, two weeks in advance of the car’s official unveil in New York.
Am I the only one who finds this particular (ab)use of the English language mightily annoying? The car is unveiled (verb), it does not have an unveil (noun). I don't know whether the abuse here is grammatically correct or not, but it's certainly not the accepted and conventional structure. PH, you should be doing better.

The correct word would be "unveiling", which can serve as a noun.PH, you should be doing better.

Also, for extra Grammar Nazi points, the headline's a bit ghastly. It's the article readers who're being teased, not the Range Rover Sport.
