I <3 this thread.

Nothin worse than being followed by one is there haha!

It's so weird having everyone talk about something "new and exciting" when iv been around them for years prior to aha

They road test them past my workplace,all the land rovers.

come past with various white stickers on hiding things.

Hey isn't that just testing a potential customer circumstance?

Well I've been there nearly 13 years and they have always tested,and the area is a wash with range rovers so good tactics lol

Lol, maybe that's the heat shield test route

One thing I've noticed is the test drivers smile much more than the miserable aresoles that own them in the area. :-)

Because they're not paying for the fuel! Hhahahah

They been letting you bolt the wheels on again Harris?

No way, they don't trust me to do that yet man :(

What was that about 700hp? Hmmm has that actually been put through the drivetrain? Or one been made just for piss and giggles :p x

I deliverred a 58-plate one last week. In all honesty, it just didn't do anything for me. They're made for a class of people who aren't me, and who I'll never pretend to be. I'd rather have been in a Transit to be fair, the driving position's far better.

I'd love one, just not parking one haha

Especially when you stick it in reverse and all the mirrors adjust themselves to the least useful position.

Press menu on the steering wheel, "auto dip reverse mirror" and switch it off, simple

Or whilst in reverse adjust the mirrors to whatever position you want them to be in when you reverse.

Is this why you prefer a transit? Simple?

PLEASENOBAN aha

So you pay for all this gimmickery, only to sit there having to switch it all off whilst a que forms, before doing anything?

I'd rather reverse a Trabant - at least i'd be able to see a child standing behind it.

Nah because some people like it, hence why it's there.

You'll be able to see children on the reversing camera, or one of the other 6-10 of them around the cars exterior

Fuck that, I just openned the door and stuck my head out.

Physically seeing things FTW haha

Designing-in problems, then trying to design-in even more shit to overcome them. Genius.

I can just imagine sitting there watching the mum and two kids going around the back - 'pink dress on camera two, blue t-shirt on camera three, mum on one apart from her ass coming in on four (quick photo) tits coming in camera three (another photo) dress clear, t-shirt clear..

..crunch..'

Shit what was that, oh didn't see the other boy on the trike..

Latest Corsa's even worse for rear visibility tbh. Just as much of a school-run car too.

I used to hate land rovers and thought they were just stupid and unnecxessary tbh but now I work with them my opinion has somewhat changed

Thank crash regulations for ever thicker A, B and C pillars and poorer visibility.

Know what you mean there. I drive new corsas a lot at work and the visibility's better out of my old-shape corsa van.
