    Actually Kon, I like the old "Ra-Ro" instead of all that crap. While a bit of a test of the Throat & Jaw muscles it still is syn-ominous with Range Rover in my mind.

    I also just wish people would not call their Discoverys, Discos or trucks either. Very Bogan-ish.


    There, I've said it & now they can shoot me if they like.

    I have never heard a Ford Ranger called a Rangie, but I have heard them called Rangas, and worse.

    I have known quite a few people to call a Land Cruiser a Landy and I have had to point out the error of their ways!

    In my house we generally refer to the fleet as the 2 door, the Rangie and the Vogue. Or we differentiate by colour.

    They all sound kinda upper class to me ..... My "Rangie" ( ... .... ) has always been affectionately referred to as "The ****box" by me I had a few mention it shouldn't be called "the ****box" once it was painted...... So now i've dubbed it "The shiny ****box".

    Never heard Ra-Ro before. Certainly takes a bit of concentration and practise to get it right.

    I have to say I am very guilty of calling Discovery's "Disco's". I'm actually sure I used to call them that before I ever owned a LR product.. we just call ours Hoppy now.

    I do agree with the truck statement. Very American ish and quite frustrating listening to someone call their 2.5lt Navara a "truck" after I have spent the day working on actual trucks - the 15lt, 600Hp kind.
