    i've had a look at that Rangy VS Tank a couple weeks ago and it shows no wheel travel on the Sport... but after now seeing they have an option to disengage the anti-roll... obviously the guy driving forgot to do it.

    Don't worry Ace (but thanks anyway) i've seen the problem now and happy with the Sport again so all good [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

    Mrs Vlad wasn't sure whether she wanted one (assuming a lotto win first). Then I told her she could choose the colour - now she does. :roll:
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I'd love one of those, a vehicle that can do 230km/h and still kick arse off road, what a beast.

    The Top Gear article does make a few good points.

    1. The Sport is 6-8% better ON road
    2. The Sport lacks the split tailgate (it's either open window only or whole tailgate upwards).
    3. The RaRo has the edge off-road (more wheel/tyre choice I beleive)
    4. The Sport looks more like a Gangsta Rappa Drug Dealer has just arrived.

    Basically, there are a few sacrifices that need to be made (not the least of which is sheer size) for that extra bit of on-road performance. It's whether the added on road finesse (of little use in slow-lane Australia) is your priority.

    Not, as they point out, that that will make any difference - the thing will sell like hot cakes.

    Personally, having seen many articles etc - I think I'll have the new RaRo in lieu of a Sport.


    As if it matters :roll: C'mon Lotto :!: :!:

    I think the sport's a nice vehicle. Looks to be fairly capable offroad, and certainly will be fun to drive onroad. Not as exxy as the RR with all the prestige. :wink:
