What's everyone driving...?

Try that one…

I got stuck in traffic yesterday and spent about 20 minutes sitting behind one of these (not this actual vehicle)
It looks significantly worse in real life
Did they run out of money, or did the designer go on holidays before he got to the rear of the vehicle?
Apart from the fact that everything above the bumper looks bland, the bumper looks like it has been in a significant crash.
As for below the bumper...........
At least they didn't follow the fake exhaust pipe trend.
They decided to share the entire mufflers.
Then someone must have said "let's get that unsightly spare wheel off the rear door", so they put it on display under the car
I guess that helps the departure angle, assuming that nice big scoop doesn't start acting like a plough.
Strangest design decisions I have seen for a while

There has been a great scene in „grand tour“ or „top gear“ when Jeremy Clarkson tried to make his face to be similar to the back of the Discovery.

I now know what it reminds me of.

It looks like it had pampers on.

 

[Max]

Are pampers similar to diapers or nappies? and if so emax is spot on.

FrankieJ, what type of tyres are you running there?

FrankieJ, what type of tyres are you running there?

33” 285/75R16 - Cooper S/TMaxx on 16” alloy rims - Speedy Territory

 

[T_Swift]

1993 Rover Mini Cooper (JDM)
1966 MGB GT

…. Grenadier in 2023 (fingers crossed)

A 2019 M2 is my daily driver. It’s a manual trans with the only modification being Ohlins “road and track” suspension. The 2022 Defender 110 V8 for bad weather, fishing/hunting trips. 2007 997 Carrera S, 2009 Nissan GT-R (bought new in 2008 and haven’t modified it at all). Then the 1976 Dodge Power Wagon for chores and something I can actually work on. I keep one more vehicle as a collector. The Grenadier will take over as everyday use and I will decide which, and how many, to sell off. Too many vehicles. It’s an enjoyable hobby, but the reason I keep them is that I hate the selling process. It’s just easier to keep them all.

I did a test drive in one of these. "Big brother".. the local "count" - or former nobility here has exactly such a Disco. Air suspension etc. - Made me laugh indeed.
Only thing I like is the really enormous boot. Respect. -rarely see so much luggage space in a vehicle compared to total site. - Could sleep in it.
However you are right - a spare wheel under the body? - No way. My dad repaired in the 1970s a lot of Peugeot. - They had the same idea - sparewheel under boot
Dirty - when needed not accessible. the release inside the vehicle rusted, Pressure check was a night mare. Most Peugeot owners put the wheel in a plastic wrap to keep it from becoming dirty. But the bag was then sometimes a mouse-hide. The sparewheel holder was dedicated to rust and need regular mainenance.
And in particular an off roader needs the spare wheel somewhere easy accessible - means - the old school way.
Todays driven hunt. -There were some guest hunters - they removed the sparewheel and keep it at home. Reason - they have a fix-spray and compressor on board - and hate to carry the additional weight. - Also - sight to rear is improved as the wheel is partly covering the rear window.. prevent from being stolen.. So most car vendors - a compressor and Repair spray does the job, reduce weight and most important cheaper.

Still - the Disco with Spare Wheel on underbody. - is a no go. Not on road neither off road.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Ecodiesel with extras and 2004 Land Rover Discovery 2 Classic (fully loaded).

There are many little luxuries that I will miss when I get the new IG. But, I can live without many of these things - reliability and repairability are more important to me.

 

[Krabby]

Will you be replacing both the Jeep and Disco when the IG is delivered?

This just came up on my Facebook memories from 5 years ago.
A hire car I had a bit of fun with

 

[ECrider]

had the car in front had the mutton vindaloo?

When I'm not having fun, the tent & awning come off and this is my daily driver.
