My middle little brother works for Rover/Jaguar (yeah, in other words he works for TaTa now) as a roving tech, goes to the dealers that can't seem to fix a problem vehicle. He's in town right now driving his company car. They give these guys brand new Jags and Rovers, they put about 3K to 5K on them, then get another one and the "old" one gets sold as a demo.

OK with that out of the way. He's driving a 2009 Range Rover supercharged model, with only 600 miles on it, he says it was broken the day he picked it up new with only 12 miles on the clock. Suspension leveling sensor screwed up intermittently and he's been so busy with work he hasn't had a chance to check it out.

We go out for BBQ, get freaking stuffed, and on the way back the sensor freaks out so bad it drops the suspension to the lowest possible height, sitting on the bump stops, and warning him on the dash "Max speed: 30MPH" as we're blasting down the freeway, bouncing like a roached-out Lincoln Continental with bad bags!

Pulled into the gas station to fill up and shut it off/on so the computer can reset and lift back up...but before that...gotta get some pictures of the ballin' Rover, TUCKIN TWENTIEZ, sorry for the crap cell phone pix it's all I had on me:





What set you from nucka! My little bro,

Freakin $96K car broken right out of the box, you gotta love it. People driving next to us on the service road after we exited were pointing and laughing, this thing was bouncing like mad. We were laughing too. It was just too damn funny to do anything else. I thought I was gonna hurl my BBQ though.

I saw one like that, that was made for the prince of some sandy country where they welded the front and back door together and did a 120 degree lambo door. I forget the show and who exactly it was for but it was THE SHIT!!!
