Range Rover dyslexic factory workers?

What's wrong with this pic? I just noticed this on my mother-in-law's car.

It's crooked too. I'd guess it was in a wreck and the bodyshop screwed up

I've seen that before here in LA, "kids" usually do it to mess with the owners.

Just take them off. Most LRs don't do much 'roving the range' anyways.

I think the letters were redone by a DIY job. They don't look like that stock in terms of spacing.

I beat the crap out of mine offroad. They are fantastic. The new electronic lockers rear and center, tons of gears with low range, the big supercharged engines, the huge wading numbers add up to a fairly incredible machine. Offroading is one of the things they can do very well, staying out of the shop -- well that is a different matter.

Check out my website offroadrover.com have a ton of trail reports on there.

That's awesome. I think you are an exception to today's buyers.

I know at least for awhile the LR4 didn't even come with 2 speed transfer case in North America unless you paid extra. It seems most of their models are equipped from the factory with low profile street tires. Marketing/media seems to cover LR track testing at the Nurburgring a lot. So anyways the emphasis seems to me to be on pavement these days.

thats true, however when test-driving a full size RR they took me to the off road track (wouldn't let me drive it there though) and it was pretty impressive with all the climbing and weird angles it can go over. Its capable of terrain i would never even attempt personally. But pavement is where they will be 99% of the time.

It would have been more fun if they had made an anagram with the letters.
RAVER GONER? VEGAN ERROR? ANGER REVOR?
