NEW TOY!!!!!

[iluvmercs]

Well, its finally arrived. Dropped off this morning: a Range Rover Sport with a 4.2 litre Supercharged V8 under
the bonnet!

OK its not mine, its the parent's car, but I'll be given the keys later in the year
Hopefully I'll bring her along to a PH meet

Here are the pics:













22 inch Overfinch alloys (265/35/22 tyres!)


Brembo front brakes are standard!

..and they are giving you the keys.



Is there an appeals process?

They've already given me the key so I could tune the radio

Thing is, Darren, no radio tuning can be considered done without a decent test drive. So.... while there's no-one about.....

A healthy contempt for MMGW I see, nice one. Get a sticker saying 'Don't worry, I planted a rain forest'

An interest use, David. I wonder if LR should add that to user's manual?

Don't plant those ideas in my mind!

You're probably right, Kev!

The wheels are only a couple of months old, and tyres (as near as makes no difference) to being new. Nothing else is Overfinch on it though. Althought I understand they tune the engine to 440bhp

Also, does anyone know Danny Murphy is? Apparently he was the previous owner of it??

Must be him I guess. The guy said he was a footballer. Haven't seen any proof of this.

Crap...we've bought a footballers' car

There are an awful lot of us Spurs fans who aren't really sure who he is ourselves.....

That is very nice. Do they come in Chameleon Orange?

I'm sure you could buy one, and get it reprayed, Lucien

I do believe there were 100 RR Sport "First Edition" Supercharged models, painted in orange, as find of a limited edition to signify the start of production.

That is one hell of a motor. My dad isn't into spending money on cars (he is into his bikes). He has a Rover 214, whenever I'm home he freely lets me borrow for as long as I need it.

It just isn't the same though....

Sadly I can't stake a claim to that one! Shop windows aren't my style. Garage forecourts are more my thing
