Default Amusing Range Rover video

Even though I like the Range Rover Sport series, this doesn't look like one. But it's funny to see the other SUV's casually driving by.

But, how many people take their Range Rovers offroad? Many of them just roll around, usually equipped with giant chrome rims, cutting people off, and taking up 2 parking spaces since they're huge. And the shop time!

Beautiful machine, but not for me...

Off roading just aint as much fun without the correct tires to do the job.

What an ugly truck... I just think those rigs are silly-looking.
Someone gave the designer a pencil and a ruler and said "design a truck..."

Wrong tires!

Cool

Like T said, "I pity the fool"! The only RR driver I've seen more embarrassed than this guy was the one in the ditch in 4 ft of snow turned around 180 D so all the cars he zipped by earlier in whiteout snow conditions, could get a good look at him as he sat there, furiously spinning his wheels and slamming his steering wheel.

i work on these things all the time an i think it's beyond ridiculous why RR chooses to equip them with high perofrmance street tires. they get stuck in 3" of snow!
the occasional owner who does want to do some mild trails will try to buy some decent tires but becuase all rovers come wtih at least 17" wheels, it's almost impossible to find a good aggressive off road tire tha twill fit the vehicle. can't go to smaller wheels either becuase the brakes are too big.
