As if the RR/LR reliability ratings weren't enough...

Owning a black '04 M62 RR and a Freelander, I have to be one of the dumbest men alive

It all makes sense, now

So if I buy a Skoda do I get more intelligent...??

Seems like a LOB to me, but then I'm thick...  Pete

*(buy from the vw group and work your way up )

What else could it be? Of all the stupid articles I've read recently, this one takes the cake.

Even better the Skoda is in my name and the FFRR in my other half’s name

Ouch! (Clutching at straws here) you don't happen to own any other JLR product, do you?

As for adding insult to injury, my daughters comment on this subject was.....load of ....but.....she said that considering the average age of the L322 drivers she see's whilst on her travels, she said it's not the level of intelligence that should be considered, but their degree of senility... There's no respect for the elders these days

Now that you mention...It's been a while since I'm being (rather) consistently called a sir by all age groups and both genders...And I suspect has nothing to do with my upbringing

It's about right. Who else would spend a lot of money on a vehicle that needs a constant feed of cash & time.
Always being told to sell it & get something else. Yet we persevere

Skoda and VW group aren't much better AFAIK...

I should have added another point to my above post regarding my daughter's views. Whilst she thinks the survey is a pile off , her daily weekday commute to work and back of approx 110 miles has lead her to think that if a real survey was carried out in a scientific manner, the least intelligent drivers on the road who regularly attempt to kill her would be listed as Audi drivers, some of her rants and spleen venting regarding those drivers have been quite entertaining to listen to

I have had to remind her that Joe publics use of a taser in this country to teach those idiots a lesson would only lead to a lot of flashing blue lights

Treading on thin ice at the risk of stereotyping...

The same is rumored about contemporary Mini (BMW Mini) drivers here and, from my daily commute to and from work, they seem to be doing everything they can to live up to this reputation.

Any BMW drivers I’m afraid and it’s a shame as they make some nice cars, yet I could never bring myself to buy one.

Umm, does that make you bipolar?

I have also owned both!

In truth: What a load of B*llocks! No better than classifying 12% chunks of the population into Astrological “Signs” who will all be lucky/unfortunate/happy/ill etc at the same time. Just goes to say the age old adage is true: you can prove ANYTHING with statistics!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

D-oh!

Where is my maths tonight? More like 8%  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
