to think that a giant Range Rover with 'Overfinch' emblazoned on the back is the definition of 'twatmobile'

[Poulay]

Was cycling down the road earlier, saw one of these things go by

I know lots of people say they need Range Rovers to cope with the pot holes, or the snow, or the pedestrians, or whatever things.

But let's be honest, they are big hulking lumps of metal that would tip over if you drove them too fast.

And on that basis paying £90k for a souped up one

and then a further £5k or so for a personalised number plate just makes you look stupid.

Doesn't it?

(Just want to add I have nothing against fast cars, if you're going to get an Aston Martin or whatever, fine.....

But souping up a vehicle supposedly designed to drive up unmade roads. I mean why????)

ooo rhonda be prepared for the mumsnet massive to land on your head re: "married well"

No no Audi drivers are v different to BMW fewls. They are usually quite nerdy in a nice way.

Audi's are great cars and not bourgeois...

Lol cockwomble I'm prepared

Snaplegs, not illegal, just stupid.

Being judgemental about other people's decision is pleasing. And it's much more politically correct to be judgemental about rich people anyway, so I can do with a clear conscience.

If I were to be judgemental about other people's parenting choices, say, people might say 'ah but x', 'how dare you judge', or 'you don't know the full story'.

But if I see you've got a Range Rover Overfinch there's no back story to wonder about. It's a twatmobile, and I'm entirely unconflicted about thinking so.

this one makes me want to hurl

omg that is truly dreadful

They are ugly boxy cars. But if people like them and the company is doing well, great stuff.

I'd far rather a Mercedes if I won the lottery. Much more elegant.

Who on earth owns that one that Glitter linked to.
The best car we ever had was a Nissan Patrol. It was the size and shape of a skip, but we crossed Wahiba sand (the empty quarter) in it.
I'd love another, it even had two cool boxes/chillers built in and a padded Jesus bar.

Glitterknickaz - that has been right royally slagged off in the landy world, the car's great but the vinyl wrap graphics (adverstising for a local hair salon I believe) are indeed vomit inducing.

Saying that I've just "modified" my Discovery (police spec suspension, new dampers etc) so that it goes round corners a lot better, does that now make me a twat?

Wow, that is one massively ugly car!

My lottery auto fantasy is to have my 1995 Mk3 Astra serviced and have a cd player replace the original cassette tape player. Proper 'street' petrol head me.

Can't you get it lowered, and some neon light put underneath? And a spoiler.

You can well bling up an Astra.
Innit.

HAHAHA a volvo?! i'd rather bloody walk.

Whilst you may judge 4x4s for being twatmobiles. I look at certain cars and think "jesus, was there nothing more boring for sale?" Then, thats the fun of judging with no backstory.

I think what seems to offend most on here is the conspicuous spending. is that the case?

We've got a rangey and absolutely love it, t

....took a while to get used to but wouldn't be without it now. We dont actually need such a big car but that's we chose and if works for us. I can think of much more offensive cars (to me anyway)

I would kill for an Overfinch RR, especially one with a customised Gun rack in the back.
They are class personified , that's why you don't see footballers driving them.

I'd also have a Mustang done by Chip Foose and a Bowler Land Rover and a 1930's Delahay for a bit of glamour, oh and a 1966 Austin healey 3000 in ivory and blue, that's just for starters.

Poulay - Getting some go-fasters, big bore exhaust and some of those funny lights that go on the front. As well as those funny alloy wheels.

And some 'BIG IT UP' car mats.

oh the vast vast majority of 4X4s ARE twat mobiles.
hth.

Overfinches are very popular with footballers.

Come on let's be honest, Range Rover is as bling and brash as it gets, and that's what footballers (and their wives) like.

Coleen has had three.

Alex Curran has one

Stephen Gerrard had two.

Chicharito (no idea, sorry) has one, apparently.

Chicarito = Havier Hernandez ( chicarito is Mexican for 'little pea'). Striker for Manchester United. Surprised Little Pea can actually reach the pedals.....

He's 5' 9", apparently?

Sorry, but PMSL at your name cockwomble grin]

Why thank you!

Overfinch RR: They're clearly in very bad taste, but I secretly want one.

it's going to be one of those that makes me every time I see it!

It sends the message "Every fucker had better get out of my way, because I'm in a big fucking car!"

And sometimes I want to send that message. Particularly when I'm on my bike.
