...that when driving through a town, people look at the FFRR as it drives past. A lot more than they would at any other car. Now I'm not giving it beans, and not blaring music out etc so I'm doing nothing to draw attention to myself.

I drove past a beer garden today the majority of heads followed my progress down the road.

Do you notice it as well? Take a look next time you drive through a town centre and see if your FFRR is catching peoples eyes! 

Noticed that for years even at lights and such it's as if they want to know if there is anyone famous in it , either that or your an ugly ….

There's this chap that lives around the corner from me who always gives me a wave or thumbs up when I drive by. The thing is when I drove my audi he did nothing. I've never spoke to him so don't know why. He used to have a nice old jag so I reckon he might have a soft spot for british made cars. FFRR TD6 HSE

I've noticed this also, always makes me wonder if my car is making an awful noise and I can't hear it inside...

ive always thought they all just want to look at me but now you mention it "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

I used to notice that too. I've noticed a few people looking at the Merc as I've driven past too. 2006 Mercedes CLS
1991 Retro-style Mini
But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

Where they wearing " Save our Planet" Teeshirts ? Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
Gone Audi A5 2.7TDI
Gone Discovery 3 HSE
Gone Mercedes CLK
Gone Range Rover 2.5 DSE

well I noticed that too..

but I'm very young to drive a Range Rover.

Once, I passed a bus stop and all the people turned their head and watched me

In Switzerland driving a "new" Range Rover means that you are very important....

Many Businessmen only drive a sport or an x5,x6 or some wannabees offroader

That reminds me, HUGI. On the recent Euro jaunt - 2100m on the continent, guess how many FF'S we saw . . . ?

FOUR !

However, saw loads of Sports, but most disturbing, lots of X6's - hideous  Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

This afternoon some poor lad in a Saxo M3 GTI with more wings and spoilers than you have seen nearly drove into the back of my FFRR while his attention was distracted by a passing Mercedes SLS............. on the plate SLS 10! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
