If more people across these forums and facepage groups remembered that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask, they would be as friendly as this one...

I do feel sorry for new guys that ask...

My Range Rover Sport has ...............

I too joined a country wide RR club/register thing (no names...!) and went to two meetings which involved sitting in the corner talking to myself...!!! Pete

Best part of this site seems to be the attitude to new members with FFRR problems............

What!!.... you bought a FFRR....that's brave ..... do you realise what you have let yourself in for..........then proceed to...... Welcome the latest victim with open arms and offer plenty of support and useful advice.

Being a member on here is akin to being a member of a mental health support group, as we have all caught a bug that most people ( ) avoid like the plague

Slow progress, anything with beer and snacks gets my vote, but as this is the FFRR world perhaps the phrase should be... 'Some moderate libations accompanied with good quality comestibles'

Reading Haylands comment on 'Sitting in the corner talking to myself' I have had the same, apart from one experience below.
Turned up at TR Drivers club meets in an old rusty TR6 and most were in TR7's and their attitude was to doff hats saying 'oh you have a real TR'

You get the same kind of people occasionally on the various series Land Rover forums, rivet counters where everything has to be original. Thankfully 99.9% are accepting as long as you are enthusiastic and take part. The only topics which seem to drive real division are anything Brexit related and the EV vs Fuel Cell where you get a few people who are very new members commenting on how old Land Rovers must be converted to electric or scrapped!!!

I still consider myself as a newbie 😂

I’ve had a longer relationship with you guys and range rovers than all my ex’s 😂 onto no6 Range Rover

Everyone needs a hobby

I’ve just had to make this post so that I can check how long I’ve been here for! 🙄

When you're as good a mechanic as me all help is appreciated. Geoff

I have a D2 so I'm on the D2BC forum and that's a great place to be.

This is the RR equivalent. Friendly, a bit of leg pulling and newbie questions answered with help and advice instead of sarcasm and vitriol, unlike some other LR/RR forums.

Dunc. The life you have is the only one you'll get; make the most of it.

Ive answered the phone to many many customers in this way... "Hi, is that Craig? Yes. Ah Great, i own a D4, a P38, a322 or a 405" and my answer is always... "im sorry to hear that....... How can i help you?" there is always a 2 or 3 second pause, a laugh and then the ice is broken...

I love a little sarcastic humour... I must, ive specialised in RR's for 30+ yrs now
