This is a Vesuvius Orange Range Rover Sport. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but I think it looks great.

Nice car collection you building up there.

Anyway, the collection won't be complete until I've got a "pinkie" and the "Purple 35th Anniversary" special.

Nope. Keeping the black one.

I always wanted the "First Edition". As of Friday morning I shall have one.

I think the Orange Colour has something of the Marmite about it - you either love it or hate it.

Would you ditch your Range Rover for it, Churchy?

Gosh, I had to look up that word:

""Whippersnapper" is a somewhat archaic term, rarely heard today outside of movies, and then usually from the mouth of a character portrayed as chronologically-challenged and hopelessly old-fashioned to boot.
A "whippersnapper" is an impertinent young person, usually a young man, whose lack of proper respect for the older generation is matched only by his laziness and lack of motivation to better himself. "

What can I say? I hope you are not as wrong in the rest of your life as much as you are in judging me.

Oh FFS, get a life. Failing that, a sense of humour.
