Interesting how a couple of you have mentioned that you're worried what clients will think of you turning up in an RRS. Is that because you think that they would have the opinion that you fritter your money away on unnecessary things like pricier-than-average cars? I've always felt that the nicer a car you can turn up in, the better impression it makes. OK, so you wouldn't make the same impression turning up a bright yellow 911 Turbo or anything, but I've had nothing but compliments from clients of mine that have seen my car.

Agreed - people who I deal with are impressed with a good car. I know that work has come my way because people feel that I may be more expensive but quality counts and the car reflects this. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Fair point, I suppose it depends on the circumstances on how you come into contact with people in your work.

I wouldn't worry in a RRS but would think hard about a RR. Most would not mind in the slightest but some would. Of course then there is the wife.......... she'd mind the most

Smarticus this is a valid point I think it depends on your circumstances. Also the car you drive can affect the way people treat you sad but true. It can be a positive or a negative. I think I drive the car I deserve nothing more to it. RRS TDV6 HSE BUCKINGHAM BLUE BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR RHODIUM TASMOD SILLS PARROT 3000 EVOLUTION WHITE SIDE REPEATERS RRPORT.CO.UK BROLLY & STICKER
HOW GOOD IS THIS CAR!!!!
8 YEARS AND STILL GETTING LOOKS

Having driven an RR for more than 10 years now, if I am seen in anything less - almost everybody I know will want to know why!

So the only compromise is an RRS which, in my opinion, is the only 4x4 that can match, and in fact even beat in some departments, the bigger RR!

I learnt to drive in a LR, soft top before the 110, think they called it a 3/4 tonner. During 13 years in the Army I've lived and breathed "off road" all over the world in some hostile spots. Since then I've had a company Defender and Discovery for work. So I guess I don't feel the need for the rough stuff anymore. I've also had a couple of my own Jeeps.
I couldn't afford the RR and didn't like its unnecessary high roof line and wallowing nature.When the D3 came out I was very tempted. But then the RRS appeared I love its shape and practicality/ability.
But on top of all that, co-incidently, my wife became ill with panic attacks and for the last 5 years has not been able to travel by car or bus. So in efforts to try and beat this, with a little help from an expert, we hired a couple of Shoguns last year with the end result being we are now going to be mobile again with the RRS. She likes being up high and the attacks have gone(fingers crossed!!).
I didn't need anymore persuasion to come back to L/R. We are into outdoor pursuits and I've also gone back to Equestrian sports. We are planning to retire to the mountains in Cumbria in about 3 years, so a 4x4 is to become essential in the very near future. There was no other car that fitted the bill. TDV6 - gone

Saw this 2 weeks before my TDV6 HSE was to be delivered....I ignored it, smug in the knowledge that I was right to reject Touraeg Atlantic, X5 Sport, ML320CDi Sport, etc, etc.

I have since been proven right, I love it. That engine is stunningly quiet and refined! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award
