I fucking did it, I bought a Range Rover.

Well, the bank is still sorting some things, I gave the C4 and some money as a down payment and I’ll pay the rest in one year through the bank. It is a armored 37k mile 2005 4.4 HSE with blue and cream interior and a blue exterior. It has no sat-nav or media screen thing, and the suspension has just been serviced.

Sure the S8 or the 540i M were better cars, but they had flaws and high-mileage and above all, the RR made me feel something different. The plan is to drive until the wretched 60k mile mark and buy something different if things go too wrong or I feel like I want something sportier. Otherwise, I’ll just keep it forever.

I sent it to a LR specialist and the PPI came out clean, the only thing slightly wrong is that some plastic on the drivers door it a bit worn and the tires are not new. I forgot to take good pictures but I’ll do it as soon as the dealer details it for me.

I forget, but you have more than one Citroen, right? Because otherwise, you might need a name change.

Congrats on your new ride, though!

Yes, I still have the cool Citroen, the C5.

Change your name to “My Range Rover won’t start.” Like I mean, you could have changed it to “My S8 won’t start.” But Range Rover rolls off the tongue pretty nice.

Awsome. So now what’s currently in your stable? How do you like it so far?

But what will people call me now? I’ve gotten used to Citroen, I don’t have a proper name, my whole identity is based on a french car. Fast Audis are not entirely out of the picture, just not for now, maybe next year.

The C5, the Tribeca which is soon to be gone too and the Range Rover. Well, it is my first properly fancy car and the ride is sublime, better than the Hydractive.

Yeah, I basically know you as simply “Citroen.” It’d be like if I changed my name to “TheAudiBro.” It just doesn’t work.

Congrats, and good luck with reliability!! I really want a range at some point, hope it goes well, make sure to oppo review it!

That’s what worried me, besides I still have a malfunctioning Citroen.

“My Citroen which is now a Range Rover and still doesn’t start.”

How about that? Super long usernames are allowed now again.

Congrats though on the RR, 10/10 would armor again right?

Me too, there are still a couple of week before it becomes MY CAR and I get to drive it properly, but I’m really looking forward to living with it. The only thing that comforts me is that it has only 37k miles, so I hope I won't have many problems.

The Range Rover is one of my favorite cars, so I imagine it's pretty good. Has it ever been shot at as far as you can tell?

My citroen won't start > jkm7680
04/22/2015 at 21:49

I still have one Citroen, the one which spawned my username, but I like that. I’ll come up with something similar. It is my first armored car!

No, not attempts against the previous owner’s life. At least I hope so.

Nice, nice. How about “WHY IS THE CITROEN THE ONLY CAR THAT STARTS NOW?”

Wait a sec, does the current Citroen have air suspencion also? Then you’re in for some fun, haha.

My citroen won't start > jkm7680
04/22/2015 at 21:58

Yes, now I have the Hydractive on the Citroen and whatever LR’s Air Supension is called.

I think my wallet has Stockholm’s Syndrome now.

Rightfully so.

Wow yeah that’s very low mileage, I bet you’ll feel like a boss 24/7 once you’re used to piloting a minty range around. That interior...

“MOVE AWAY PEASANTS” is something I’ll say whenever I’m driving people around.

Remind me never to live in a place where armoured cars are a thing.

If you REALLY want to offend people, you could get a mild exaust! Even I couldn’t handle that though haha that would be awesome to see/hear but too ostentatious to drive
