The Rangey is definitely a few years old now, wonder why she’s not having a brand new car every couple of years?

And that confirms that Mr Yawn’s car has been given back if he’s using her car

Every time I've seen Yawn out and about it's always been in the white rangey and it's always been him driving.

For a while I was convinced she'd lost her licence or something as I even saw him waiting for her, chaffeur-like, in a no parking/loading bay outside the hairdressers.

Spongebobette · 16/07/2023 18:13

He has nothing better to do, presumably

I wonder if Yawn struggles with driving anxiety as she had a bad accident didn’t she? If so there was probably no point in having two cars in the first place! Perhaps Mr Yawn is only included in anything if he’s useful but if there is another person to drive and pay for fuel, who has a step ladder and will carry her vanity case up the side of a hill then she’s not fussed if he’s there or not, and he knows it.

SnoogyWoo · 16/07/2023 21:41

I noticed recently the rangey was looking tired, Yawn posted an interior pic and the steering wheel was very shiny and worn. Which is fine unless you profess to be a multi zillionaire business owner.

PieonaBarm · 16/07/2023 22:06

If anyone knows the Rangey registration the MOT history on the gov.uk website will show its age/mileage etc

Angrymum22 · 17/07/2023 01:11

I don’t think the Ranger was brand new. She travelled down to Southampton or somewhere similar to pick it up. White was always the colour for lease hire ( no extra charge for white) so it was possibly an ex hire car that they have bought on a lease agreement.
Why would you drive all the way down to the south coast when you have one of the largest Landrover dealers in the country on your doorstep. Also I’m surprised she didn’t visit the dealership and use it as a photo opportunity. She obviously doesn’t use it for serving since we would know about it.

I just checked ....it was manufactured/first registered in 2015 and has 97k miles on the clock.

The last logbook issued was 2019 so presumabaly thats when they bought it . The first MOT after that it failed on 2 dangerous and major defects (tyres) and advisory on the brake pads so that must have been expensive!

(I haven't memorised her numberplate as such, it's just that it's a "FLP" plate that's easily recognisable and I live very nearby )

SnoogyWoo · 17/07/2023 08:43

Wow with probably over 100k mileage now and 8 years old that is going to be an expensive beast to run. Nothing fundamentally wrong with having a car like that but it always goes back to the lifestyle the bots try to show off, it’s just skin deep.
My legitimate business pays a £1000 a month for 2 nice lease cars for my family and I don’t have to try and show off like the bots.
They are all just so tragic.

Spongebobette · 17/07/2023 11:18

That really is utterly tragic

YouOKHun · 17/07/2023 13:01

They must be terrified every time there’s a strange noise or they drop it off for a service. My neighbour has a RR which is a year younger than Yawn’s and with a much lower mileage. A couple of weeks ago I gave her a lift to pick up her car from the garage after some electrical fault, the bill was £3600. I distinctly remember the service being four figures not that long ago. They are very expensive and not that reliable.

Driving around in a white RR with a personalised plate gets you more detractors than impressed followers. It’s even less impressive if it’s being towed by an AA truck. Time for a “we’ve decided to go for a more eco friendly car” or “we don’t want to intimidate our adoring followers with our wealth” before revealing a much more modest car. The personalised plate obscures the age of the car. It’s all a bit pathetic.

A colleague has a 2018 Rangey and it broke down on the way to France last year and it cost over 4k to repair !!!

Spongebobette · 17/07/2023 13:13

White Rangeys are very 2010 flashy aspirational and dated

if I were a top bot these days I’d be getting a Tesla to impress the minions (except I wouldn’t because I hate Elon Musk and I don’t buy cars to impress my downline as I don’t have one 🤣)

OP posts:
MarchXX · 17/07/2023 18:08

Don't bother with a Tesla if you do long journeys. My brother has one and when he visits us (a long trip as we're in Scotland) he has to plan stops to charge. Having said that, I would love one for short journeys as it has loads of fab gimmicky stuff I'd love playing about with Grin.

Re RR, I looked at getting a 4X4 and RR wasn't in my top 3 as reliability/expense issues were a red flag.

PieonaBarm · 17/07/2023 18:51

Don't get a RR they're the most easily stolen car there is. We get tonnes of reports at work. Along with Ford ST's

PieonaBarm · 17/07/2023 22:08

Castle has bought an AirTag so she can track oldest Turret should he be snatched. Let's hope any nefarious kidnappers use Apple devices as otherwise it's pointless.

Then she tells everyone on her open social media that she's bought it and exactly where she's going to hide it on him........

And this woman used to be a Police Officer

Sugarplum48 · 17/07/2023 22:44

I've had to hide Castle. I can't stand seeing her shit on sm anymore. She does my head in too much. Her kids will suffer at her hands

Howsimplywonderful · 17/07/2023 23:42

Castle is doing a ‘how poor we were before setting up her bizniz

Everything was second hand for her baby apparently

No mention that her parents bought the house she lived in with her husband etc and have bankrolled her all her life.

What a lying manipulative charlatan she is. She disgusts me. Her parents disgust me too.

fromdownwest · 18/07/2023 09:55

I had to stop watching Castle, she literally kills brain cells watching her. Jumping from fad to fad, bleeding her parents dry, milking poor people dry.

Howsimplywonderful · 18/07/2023 10:58

Castle has probably told her parents that if she buys another motor home and then sells it, it’s cheaper than a europe summer rental and off they toddled to buy it for her, because she’s a bizniz genius, with her income streams 🤣

Weird Willy is so predatory and gives me the massive ick. Does he have many, if any, clients? I do hope not!

What's his scammy ex up to? Can't remember her name on here, it's been a while!

I think his ex was 'Homeschool' on here.

I see Yawn is love-bombing Specsavers bot again.

Wonder if it's because Specsavers had gone off the boil a bit as I notice her FL posts were becoming less and less.

I like the way that Yawn inadvertently reveals that Specsavers has been slogging away at this for around 10 years though! Yawn refers to having mentored her for a few years but then goes on to post about her as going from being a stressed mum of a new baby and Specsavers manager to a confident business woman ....the "new baby" is just about to leave primary school.

I notice that Yawn doesn't mention that the "confident business woman" has still got to have a real J.O.B. too though

PieonaBarm · 18/07/2023 20:18

Yawn in those ripped jeans by the Rangey. WTF?
