    Good car for tiny mobsters. I'm sure having a streering wheel matching the colour of their Uzi will make them feel good... Lots of tiny fashion conscious mobsters out there ya know ;-)

    I think I will wait for the Holland and Barrett version instead. That might look a little less vulgar.

    Self replenishing drinks cabinet?

     

    Does it drive itself to the off licence?

    The finest all purpose all round most wonderful vehicle ever eh?  I guess the tacky bodykit would not get in the way of taking this 4x4 off road then.  What??  You mean??  It is not nearly as good as the regular Range Rover off road??  And the those massive wheels ... they will not compromise it's smooth road on the roads and in town?  What???  You mean???  Actually it rides worse, can't go off road ... looks *** and costs twice as much? 

    This is just brilliant.

    That's gorgeous wood for a shotgun stock, but out of place in a Rangey. Rolls Royce (not even sure about Bentley or Maybach) is the only car manufacturer who can do wood like that in their cars - in anything else, it's just trying too hard, is incongruous with the rest of the vehicle, and ends up being sad and uncool.

    Wood like that belongs in one of these:

    Thus:

    My apologies - the right of both photos is cut off, which doesn't do justice to the car.

    The best interior for a Rangey is pretty much the one in the revised RR Sport, which is to the credit of Land Rover.

    You know, I was thinking that as well! Maybe it drives to the offy, and also buys it for you as well. Either that, or its some sort of voodoo cabinet!
    Has the most boring car ever created, but I'm enjoying bangernomics in a Toyota Corolla 1.6 GS in green!

    I'm with you rosstopher on the 'self replenishing drinks cabinet'. A quick google of the phrase reveals it is solely a Overfinch/H&H concept. I can only conclude that it is some form of SatNav/cashpoint linked development of Mercedes automated safety systems that drives the car without the need for a driver.

    Perhaps, in the same way that you can select personalities (Mr. T, Ozzy Osborne, 'The Queen' etc.) to guide you with your SatNav, you can select personalities to replenish your booze stash for you. Delia Smith for Sundays, Pete Doherty or the venerable Mr. Osborne again for a Friday evening. Though the combination of Pete Doherty and usual SatNav issues could lead to the car stocking itself from non-official sources.

    'Inhale at the next junction. Snort, quaff, you have reached your destination - you are completely **********'.

    And here's the gentleman concerned:

    Notice the Burberry scarf. I wonder if he's in a Range Rover ...

    He certainly looks as if he's ready to break out a shotgun, luckily there's one in the back, with more booze.
