    If you are trying to say a RR makes a better van than a transit then you are an idiot. They would not have a fraction of the load space or versatility of a transit. I doubt you'd fit any pallets in a Range Rover commercial and even if you do i wouldnt like to be trying to get them out again without damaging the tailgate. Jeeps make useless vans.

    Asian doctors working in Ireland usually drive a Japanese import (something like a 00 Corolla or Nissan Bluebird or a Toyota Premio).
    Farmers drive Avensis, ok but only the saloon.
    What type of people drive the hatchback? English or someone returning home with no taste in cars, only getting from a to b. Go to any toyota dealer or independent dealer and you'll find a lot of UK reg 08/09 nearly new hatchbacks.......
    oh, and what type of people drive Nissan Figaros?

    I drive too fast, am ignornant and always in the overtaking lane. I "supposedly" never use my indicators.

    What do I drive?

    Beemer 3 series. Probably a debaged 318 or 320 with an M sport badge and body kit? :D:D

    People who drive new plate cars, that have the name of the car ,ie VW displayed on the back of the car (always on tinted glass) in foot high letters. I have seen one recently that said " Sporty Golf " on a 1.4 boggo standard golf, this car even had cheap trims rather than alloys, please!!!!! = Travellers
    Also any Segment B car that is saloon form (Focus,Astra,Megane...etc ) these are all hideous, generally driven by clueless boggers.:)

    Reminds me of the NO POWER WITHOUT SMOKE banner I saw once, on a tee-diddily-eye something or other sh1tbox, with 20" inch wheels rubbing in the arches as it crept by.

    Don't you get it?
    Jeeps cannot do the same job that vans can.
    It's nothing to do with being able to afford one.

    What kind of people are driving those freakin' expensive Q7, Cayenne, ML, Range Rover Sport etc off-roaders with no back windows and usually in black colour?!

    Well the cheap road tax, no VRT and being able to park in loading bays does it for me and the fact that most people think it's worth twice what it is, lovely to drive and.......... I could go on and on, it's just great really.:)
