Other Pet Hate in Classifieds

why the f... do people in classifieds for Range Rovers put Jeep in..

'this Jeep is fully loaded...'

'a well specced and maintained Jeep...'

'I've owned this Jeep for x years...'

its not a f..... ing Jeep Its a Range Rover.. manufactured by Land Rover.

I mean seriously.. WTF. would these people advertise a Porsche and call it a Datsun ?

it really yanks several yards of barbed wire through my sphincter

Have the courtesy and censor the word FFS J**p

I think it's ignorance, or they're retarded

Needs the mods for that. Maybe @blue beasty can help you out?

I take you feel quite strongly about the use of the word J..P?
Stress is bad for you

nb: +1 re. Henry's avatar, reduces stress levels when reading about J..Ps on this forum

Jeeps helped to win WWII Land rovers that were copied from them didn't.

But I'm sure I read somewhere the original Jeep was based on a British chassis. Certainly, the original designing company, Bantam, had previously been building Austin vehicles under licence.

Can we add a subsection to that act? Namely calling any model Range Rover , but mostly the L322, a Vogue or as some insist , a Vouge.

As for the argument that is always rolled out that J**p was copied by Land Rover ,; just because something starts as a copy, does not mean the original remains the better of the two. Think of all those Japanese 'copies' of 1970s British cars.

Wasn't really a copy of a jeep anyway, they just used a willys chassis for the prototypes as far as I understand it.

What's worse, that or calling a land rover a truck?

Jeep is a generic term for a 4x4 vehicle, same as hoover is for vacuum cleaners, but I agree it is annoying
