Haha, I didn't know there was an official explanation!

I didn't either. Funny, the name for this board supposedly originated on RR.net. And I'm a relatively long time member of that board.

I posted this over there - I'll be curious to see what responses this gets.

I like the part about 'RRS owners retaliated.......'


Surely not! RRS owners are a mild mannered bunch that never, ever take the bait

oooooooooh do you promise I need a bit of sport, got my pair polished up just nicely, need a bit of pre season practice before the grouse

mmmmm, wonder under which column in my game book could I list a Jerry junkers

I understood the term origionally meant fully fledged range rover. Regardless, if our Sport brethern are happy having the cream (best bits!) skimmed from their landrover products to drive around in what is basically nothing more than a label on a disco then Happy days. At least Disco owners are content that they own a Disco that pretends to be nothing more.

I had the misfortune to look inside a RRS a couple of weeks back and have to say I was very disappointed. Plastic fantastic springs to mind. Shame as the exterior looks alright.

Truth be told the current Freelander is the closest thing size and shape wise to the origional RRC currently in the line up.

I don't think you can class Urban Dictionary as "Official"

Last time I checked, Oxford English didn't have a listing for Donkey Punch....

Same car, more pratical, less price. Makes a lot more sense to me than a RRS.

I nearly bought one when I got the FFRR.

i loved the RRS - we had the car for 3 years my wife called the Disco and the RRS a *shoe box*  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

Our other car is a Skoda Fabia. Lives in the garage for the odd time we need two cars. 6 years old wth 10k miles.
A RRS/Disco a shoe box?

When I sat in the Disco3, the only thing I wasn't very fond of was the lack of space like you get in the FFRR. Being 6'3" I then got in the back and my knees were pressed into the back of the drivers seat.

Of course fitting three rows of seats into slightly less length than a FFRR is going to mean less space. But in terms of value for money compared to the RRS and FFRR a Disco4 makes a good practical vehicle IMHO.

what suprises me is you sit in a Sporty or a Disco and its so FORD like inside its unbelievable, right from the dashboard, to switchgear and steering wheel - yuck - its obvious how much influence the parent company had with their development. Whereas the FFRR seemed to escape probably due to the vehicle being born in the BMW era.
