To think that 90% of Range Rover owners

[Dinosauratemypudding]

Don't need such a big fucking car and should buy something else amd stop taking up most of the fucking road.

[Orda1]

Their* must proof read

[FatherSpodoKomodo]

They also think they can off road, which basically means driving up the grass verge over the pavement to park as close to school as possible because little Johnny couldn't possibly walk from the car park 10 metres further away.

[akkakk]

Yes akk but it's much easier to drive a smaller car than a fucking huge one. Easier to park, nip in to gaps, give way to oncoming traffic, negotiate country lanes

being serious for a minute (and perhaps less so with modern range rovers), but older range rovers were actually much easier to drive than many cars - they were basically square boxes and you knew where every corner was - you could drive it mm past objects with ease... I sold one and moved to a more modern smaller 4x4 and it was much harder to see the corners or to understand where the car was spatially...

[littlepeas]

I probably fit the stereotype, but do actually need my large 4x4 (not Range Rover). I can park it too, in tiny, awkward spaces.

[Dinosauratemypudding]

akk it's width that annoys me.
Plus I was parallel to the cars and he pulled out in front of me. If it was a normal sized car then we'd have passed easily. As it was, it was a range rover, so no room to pass and I was forced on to the kerb.

[Dinosauratemypudding]

father do you live in my village? I have to take the kids in to the road to walk around the massive range rover which has pulled up next to school covering the whole pavement & grass verge

[brasty]

What annoys me are those who will not move over onto the side of a narrow country lane because they do not want their car scratched. So I end up having to do this in an ordinary car. This is what range rovers are supposed to be for.

I love my Range Rover comfy as anything. I live in the middle of the country I can drive and park my car without any issues

I don't pay £600 a month to hire it I own my car

Most of them are driven by blonde, overweight middle aged women I am not blonde, not overweight and certainly not middle age

[HolyCrow]

My husband worked hard to get his RR, it's his little bit of luxury he allows. So why not? Because some people are a little bit envious and make it into an issue? We were in an accident earlier this year and if we hadn't have been in such a big car we wouldn't have been as lucky as we were.

If you are going to be sizeist 😂 You need to include other cars in this thread as well. An Audi parked next to us yesterday and it was wider than ours, but we always manage to park it in a normal space (even me!).

[PickleSarnie]

I have never met a nice person that drives one. I would love to be proven wrong.

There's a really narrow blind bend where I live. It's on a 20mph road so no one is going that fast but you struggle to get two normal sized cars though at once but when one of them is the size of a tank there's no hope. I ended up meeting a range rover coming the opposite direction. I reversed to let the tank through. I expected her to thank me so it took me as a shock when she started yelling at me and asking "hadn't I seen her?" Ffs. Couldn't miss someone driving a beast that size. Have blatantly stereotyped ever since......

[LikeDylanInTheMovies]

YANBU. Although there will inevitably be someone along to tell us we are all jealous and how hard they work.

Yep when I used to live somewhere nice, come school closing time the narrow roads would be clogged with vast, pristine Range Rovers, each containing one tiny child and one tiny blonde woman who could barely see over the steering wheel let alone manuvere their vast 4x4s. Used to be absolute gridlock and you'd take your life into your hands cycling down there.

[Moojay]

Wow.
DH drives a range rover.. Aaaand a BMW, and to top it off the bastard went and put a customised exhaust on it so its a noisy BMW too!
I however drive a very teeeny tiny nissan, because I wouldn't dream of forcing a poor, innocent, average sized car to move over. you definitely don't need to grow a backbone and just drive better
We live in a v busy city, DH needs the range rover for work, the BMW is his personal car. Neither on finance either shock horror!

[angeldiver]

I always think of them as drug dealers cars.

As a horse rider, they are bloody scary when they come bearing down on you. They are so, so noisy.

[Dinosauratemypudding]

Yes garden you're right but I just can't be arsed with confrontation. I am a wet flannel.

littlepeas it's range rovers in particular (and maybe the bmw & lexus versions) that I have gripe with. They don't look like they're useful for anything except barging through.

[Basicbrown]

My husband worked hard to get his RR, it's his little bit of luxury he allows. So why not? Because some people are a little bit envious and make it into an issue?

now that's made me laugh. Has it ever occurred to you that a lot of people couldn't actually give a toss about owning/driving expensive cars?

[JustCallMeKate]

I've got a RR Sport and love it. Now for the checklist:-

Live on farm - check
Middle aged - check but have had RR's for over 20 years so this doesn't apply
Blonde hair - nope, it's chestnut
Overweight - nope.
Shades - of course in summer.

[Moojay]

Wow, that sounded far bitchier than intended
For the record, its not the car that's the problem, its the driver. Not really fair of you to single out one car and generalise the drivers.

[HopeClearwater]

My husband worked hard to get his RR

You mean, worked hard in his well-paid occupation. Is he a teacher? A nurse? I wouldn't have thought so.

[DangerousBeanz]

As a fat blonde middle aged driver of a big 4x4 I defend my decision to drive one. It's a 7 seater and I ysually ferry 5 kids around in it, and I live up a steep country lane at the top of a steep hill in the arse end of nowhere in the pennines. I occasionally drive it into the city centre when I don't have a full crew of kids with me and I can feel the judge stares. But feck em. They don't have to get my kids to school in blizzards.

[CatNip2]

Boo

I love my RR sport

Ha ha ha ok yah
