How did the Hippo get it's name?

[Rob Edge]

Heard the Freelander referred to as a hippo and just curious as to how it came by the name?

land rover marketing

Coz it looks like one. A hippoo is a crap one.

 

[thought it was mine!]

and ther s me thinking it was because it was slow and ugly

 

[G-man]

i dare you to call a hippo slow...... they can run at 19mph..... even crocks don't fook with hippos!

 

[Adz]

So it's not because they're more at home submerged in water and their own faeces then?

 

[Rob Edge]

That picture is class. Kind of explains it. I always liked hippo's anyway.

 

[thought it was mine!]

thur real name is Gaylander and the doors fall orft wens they get wet

 

[lr110]

still dont know how having 2 hippos towing a gaylander is supposed to be a good thing??

 

[Rob Edge]

Nothing gay about a Freelander. Psycologists say that people who refer to cars as being gay are usually suffering from repressed feelings and are insecure about their sexuality.
