If I see one more black RR Sport...
Discussion
...with a personalised numberplate, I'm going to flip out and go absolutely spare.
They are EVERYWHERE. Going for a quick hoon round the country lanes? NOPE. Sorry, no can do, there's a bloody biscuit wholesaler taking up the entire road in his highly original black Range Rover with his w
k3R numberplate, which he bought after landing that great deal with Foxes bloody biscuits. Fancy a nice, cheeky burst of acceleration down an empty road? NOPE. Mr Stanley Scumnore from Scumnore's Laminate Door Knockers has pulled out in front of you, causing you to slam the anchors on, in his black fking Range Rover with personalised N0K333R plate. Tell you what, could you nip to Tesco and grab a few things for the weekend? fkING NOPE, because Reginald Wheately from Wheately's fking Mattress Emporium and Cushion fking Repository has decided to take up 3 fking spaces leaving no one else any space in his fking black Range Rover with personalised fking M4TTRE482AS fking numberplate.
WHY. Why is it always a black Range Rover, why does it always have a bloody incomprehensible personalised plate? Is it just this area? Have I stumbled onto SME only territory or something? Perhaps there's a shortage of other cars? Maybe all the other dealerships round here are just mirages, and only the Range Rover one is actually there. Or maybe everyone who makes more than 40k a year instantly gets smacked in the brain with the same bright idea?
ARGH.

Same around here 
Without fail being driven by either a drug dealer or a WAG-wannabe. And without fail with an utterly st personalised numberplate. Quite bizarre really, stereotypes aren't something I like to subscribe to but the RRS really does live up to it like no other vehicle I can think of.

Where I live, not 1/2 mile from a Road called Victoria Rd (L37) where there are the homes of various footballers including Mr fisty cuffs Gerrard. Mr John Moores (RIP) used to have a horse paddock on the site of some of these millionaire wimpy homes. Without fail being driven by either a drug dealer or a WAG-wannabe.

Quite bizarre really, stereotypes aren't something I like to subscribe to but the RRS really does live up to it like no other vehicle I can think of.And that brings me to my point. He had an old Rolls with JM1 and his house keeper had JM2 on a mini city. In a time when a certain John Toshack lived in a 3 bed detached house with a single garage, just about 200 yrds from my parents, and drove a cortina IIRC.
How the world has changed.
I think that's what makes me smile about them the most. All the adverts you see which attempt to pander to the so called "super rich" bang on about "exclusivity" and "treating you as an individual" and other such tosh.. yet they all just do the same as each other and go and buy the same coloured Range Rover and as the OP says, stick on some generic personalised plate. That's not exclusivity - that's doing the same as every other fecker!
I might drive a 16 year old car, but at least I don't see any others on the road for weeks / months at a time.. THAT's exclusivity, and being an individual

this is a pet subject of mine..there are two kinds of RR Sport driver. The one who buys from Landrover and keeps the vehicle standard with factory options and tyres that actually work off road or in winter conditions; then there are the mouth-breathers who customise them within an inch of their lives to be seen, to be noticed..to be laughed at by non-chavs!..I have seen untold RR Sports struggle in winter because of a combination of moronic tyre/wheel choice and poor driving..
there is no reason to buy one second hand as used 'proper' Range Rovers are so reasonable..
there is a brand new white one near me in Surrey with a black roof and bonnet, combined with the 'trackday special' black wheels!..it is unquestionably a £60k motor that looks like a Halfords special worth no more than £2.50!..a sad irony is it has the legend 'BESPOKE' picked out on the bonnet where Range Rover should sit!..then you see whats driving it..a cross between Doreen from Birds of a Feather and Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances!!
Suggestions welcome for what word would be more appropriate than the aforementioned BESPOKE?!!....
