Plus, I drove it with him ONCE, I didn't find it exciting, the drive was uninvolved (a computer did everything), it wasn't that high or that fast. There are hundreds and hundreds of better and cheaper cars IMO

I don't think a 1.5dCi Clio would have the image they're looking for on the driveway of the hotel

Lee I totally agree.
A BMW 5 or 7, Merc E or S class, Audi A6 or A8, VW Phaeton etc etc would be much better though

there is no way the guy would buy a Prius - he's old school and his Aunt was a Countess - I'm suprised they're not getting Series II landrovers tbh, c/w a dog and shot gun in them.
One of the hotels has a regular customer who spends approx. £5000 every other week with them. He said he was going to stop coming when the old hotel dog died unless they got another; so they got 2 black lab gun dogs

New Years Eve, one table of 6 people had 5 bottles of champagne at £580 per bottle and only moved over to wine because they ran out of that champagne and didn't want the cheaper £400 bottle instead

My Dad had the old shape RR Autobiography. Its one of the best cars ive ever driven.
I wasnt overly impressed with the interior on the sport. Too small but then thats its market/appeal i guess.
Lovely cars tho, look great!

In all fairness you dont buy a RR for the involving drive....its merely a status wagon for comfort and looking down on people

They're not leased, the owner of the company has 70 Vogues for use by the staff within the business; each hotel (there's 34) gets a Vogue for use by the GM
Nice...If i'm out and about on company business I just get a hire car or mileage paid......i'm with the wrong company!
And everyone who's slating Range Rovers.......its free!!!!! I wouldn't be complaining. Pity its not a sport though!! I've driven several RR Sports and they are great.

I love Range Rovers. I've never been in the latest shape ones but the interior looks like a lovely place to be.
Be great to waft around in one!

Next door had one, told me it was the worse buy he ever made.
3.0TDi used to do about 13 to the gallon, £120 to 300 miles.
His mate had a V8 Vouge that did on average 8MPG.
Theyre just a big Chelsea Tractor, extreamly pointless IMO
...looks fucking pimping though.
