So you'd put £50'000+ into a brand new 4x4 and then go screw it up?

I know plenty of people who put down £1'000 to £20'000 on an old 4x4 and head off green laning, but that's totally different.

You're coming across as a throbber. Just stop digging.

People drop 50k+ on lots of pointless st, it’s not a lot of money to a lot of people.

Getting it stuck on a beach doesn’t seem like it’s even damaged, it’s just stuck and not in water.

I wouldn't put any vehicle I owned anywhere near salt water, it's a death sentence.

Often take the wife down to the beach for a nice walk , usually finish off with an ice cream , never had a car die on me down there yet .

I'm interested to know how using a car within its design parameters is "screwing it up"?

Because of course JLR thought "ah yes, we need to design this luxury vehicle to be driven around a beach like a muppet" rather than "hey, the closest this thing will ever get to offroad is mounting the kerb outside a school, so lets stick huge alloys on it and skinny tyres".

Thats the funniest thing in this thread!..

..They got stuck on a beach - I don't think they are BBQ'ing swans!!

Burnham on Sea has this happen nearly every weekend in the summer (getting stuck that is.. not the BBQ bit)

16 winks surely ?

Ah what a thread. It's impressive that a picture of a stuck Range Rover can lead to 3 pages of arguing about nothing from a bunch of "grown up" men. I wonder what's gonna happen, will my comment provoke some passive aggressive comments that just sweeten my point, or will it just be ignored?

You do sound silly. You really do.

Not sure if they're all grown ups.
Is that the required response ?.......


Who'd have thought a 2.5 tonne car wouldn't sink in squishy sand ?

Sand/shingles isn’t an easy terrain to drive on and can easily catch people out.

As a gentleman who tried driving his new merc through a gravel trap at Le Mans last year found out.

One of the main reasons I prefer owning my cars outright is that I can do daft stuff offroad and not worry about every last ding and scrape. I don't care about that sort of minor damage so it would seem silly to have to keep the man at the lease company (who very much does care about it), happy too. So I'm not sure your theory holds water (like that Range Rover might be doing now).

So you'd put £50'000+ into a brand new 4x4 and then go screw it up?

Only if you're poor.
