Out and about today I spotted something which the owner probably thinks is cool - me - I think Land Rover should not allow it.

Picture this. Range Rover with SC front end, SC grills, SC BADGE! Looks just like an SC .. until....

Wrong C post
No "fin" on the roof
No exhausts
No performance - BECAUSE IT WAS TD BLOODY 6

No wonder people round here keep trying to race me ....

Supercharged badges should be VIN number related and not sold to people who don't own one. What is the point of putting an SC badge on something that plainly ISN'T?

Might as well stick another vehicle manufacturer badge on it and pretend it's something else it isn't ....

But do you not find it funny when they race away, and you pull off all dignified? :lol:

Nah, I bet you have your fair share of racing too! :twisted: And trounce them! :twisted: :twisted:

Julie ... since I got the SC I've done a lot less racing. I guess it's something to do with *knowing* that you can trounce a fair amount of the cars that I used to race ;-)

However - I still like stamping on the loud pedal every now and again and hearing the Supercharger howl and the V8 roar....!

Thats why I love my bike :D:D:D:D
little boy racers in their Chav mobiles love to sit and rev the nuts off their 1.4's... all I do is let the bandit rev to 11,000 with the ZORSTEC system on and they soon stop ;)

Jeez, you'd think that by now everybody would know that you had a supercharged range rover!

AS you say they are sad, very sad :oops:

In my view one can only object to this if you want to show people how much you spent on your car, otherwise it doesn't matter. :)

Own an M5 then you'll see at least two copies a day with an M badge on :)

Cheers

You'll also see plenty of people sporting G4 stickers, painting their vehicles in sandglow or tangiers, wearing LR Special vehicle stickers, Warn and ARB graphics when none of the above apply... it's all just part and parcel of it !

tiltboy · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2006, 20:39:49 »

OOOPPPSS!!

Does it really annoy people that I bought a genuine SC badge on ebay for under Ã‚Â£10 and stuck it the back of my '93 tdi 90 soft top?

GOOD!! :lol:

It really narked the guy round the corner from me who OWNS a Land Rover franchise! Ha ha. 8)

Can't think where to put a fin though!

tiltboy · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2006, 20:54:08 »

I'll try and enlarge a pic.

Not a great pic but you can just see the badge!

davidlandy · « **Reply #20 on:** April 25, 2006, 21:04:57 »

Not being completely clued up on RRovers I must admit they all look the same to me - so must save a fortune to just rebadge a lower spec one.

my little 90 has a ' LR special vehicles' badge on the wing but it isnt one - but no one tries to race me! lol

Tigger · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2006, 21:11:57 »

My 90 has a SV badge on the back...it also has Diesel signs on it in places... oh what fun when I blip the throttle :twisted:

davidlandy · « **Reply #29 on:** April 25, 2006, 22:42:06 »

...and for the doubters (if there are any) I can confirm that it is the real thing that he has, or is it an extremely good rebadged look-e-likey?! :-k

and the brakes are good, very good, phew.
