Range Rover syndrome

I think I have self diagnosed myself!

Look at this:
Causes & symptoms

Stockholm syndrome does not affect all hostages (or persons in comparable situations); in fact, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) study of over 1200 hostage-taking incidents found that 92% of the hostages did not develop Stockholm syndrome. FBI researchers then interviewed flight attendants who had been taken hostage during airplane hijackings, and concluded that three factors are necessary for the syndrome to develop:

• The crisis situation lasts for several days or longer.
• The hostage takers remain in contact with the hostages; that is, the hostages are not placed in a separate room.
• The hostage takers show some kindness toward the hostages or at least refrain from harming them. Hostages abused by captors typically feel anger toward them and do not usually develop the syndrome.

Well with my car:

1 - My crisis all last several days or longer
2 - I am nearly always in the same space as the car.....
3 - My car is sometimes kind even in hard times

Other symptoms I exhibit:

4 - I will throw money at the issue regardless
5 - I will convince everyone that Ranger Rovers are great, (Well they are!)
6 - I will defend my car to my last breath
7 - I will tend to it regardless of the weather
8 - I will hoard spare parts just in case

This is still a diagnosis in progress, but I have

RANGE ROVER SYNDROME!

Anyone else have any other symptoms?

Yes, all of the above plus will always park furthest away when shopping at tesco and will check every panel when I return to check that no scrotbag has bashed it, drives the missus mad, but I love her, the rangie that is.

Sounds familiar! As an alternative I will park across 2 bays so I have a lot of space! :car:

Oh my, I have Range Rover Syndrome!!!

Ahhh, yes!
I also suffer Range Rover syndrome. I also have others symptoms including NEVER telling the true fuel consumption. And if there are no isolated parking bays, try and park next to the most expensive or highly polished car in the car park!!

Never lie about the fuel consumption...it is what it is....

The MPG is what keeps the riff-raff away from our beloved marque

It's also what makes my dearly beloved want a 2nd Nissan Cube!

If I round mine up to 25 MPG I still feel mischievously bemused by the look of disgust I often get when telling my MPG.

Hi, my name is Marc and I have Range Rover Syndrome.

Hi everyone.. well I've been Range Rover free for about 10yrs now and I feel like a different person.. I'm happier, I worry less, I have more money to spend on other things and I can drive with the stereo on again.. I still do get the old feelings now and then, like when I'm browsing eBay or reading build threads on LZ late at night, but I still have the receipts from my last one and looking through those helps keep me strong.. you know guys, one way or another I think it's going to be ok!

P38 Personality Disorder here.

It's a state of permanent denial of many, many things.

Help i think ive got it, what is the cure if any
or is there no hope.

We here on the forum are working on a cure, but I think the only thing you can do in the short term is spend all your money on your truck. Then beg borrow and/or steal as many parts as you can.

Nah! Being realistic, it is probably terminal and so only palliative care for the owner is any use......

Hello my names Will and I too have Range Rover sydrome...

My symptoms include, but are not by anyway limited to,

Sleepless nights
Ungodly mutterings
Self harm (mainly but not limited to nuckle skin)
poverty
Impending bacherlourisum
And moments of deep deep joy followed by regret and dred

Oh and any small noise requires my full attention...


W

So the prognosis is not good then, oh well i will just have to live with it

I think there is strength in numbers... If we all stay together we can fight this!!

But as you all write I see the depth of my illness!

With Wills points I feel a list is needed. In mental health you can only diagnose from symptoms they use a book call Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, (a bloody thick book).

If we list our symptoms, we can have a diagnosis, is it truly RRS? Them with that diagnosis we can seek treatment.

I feel ill! I want to buy a Nanocom Evo! Would anyone think less of me?
