For instance, f3lix in a 911 makes the 911 a god damned hugely Mega Boss Ride. When band director f3lix gets out of his 911, people are going to say, "holy fucking shit, f3lix drives a 911?! What a baller!" I contend that when financial trader FC gets out of a 911, people are going to think, "oh look, another douchebag financial trader in a 911." This is why I like a Boss Ass SUV for FC. When FC climbs out of a Commander or a motherfuckin' Range Rover, people are going to stop, pause, look at him and say, "oh my. Who is that boss ass motherfucker driving that Commander with the sick wheels? I'll bet he has an 11 inch dick and makes seven-figures."

The SUV he wants in particular, and SUVs in general, are

called "Chelsea tractor's"

in England, Chelsea being the part of West London he lives, so it could not be any more stereotypical for a young banker living in Kensington/Chelsea to drive a Range Rover or other SUV.

I would almost prefer the 335; almost as good of an engine (turbo 6), no M3 badge, can have 4 doors if you want, and AWD.

Range Rovers are so fucking expensive on the up keep. They drop in value extremely quick as well. I would be careful on one of those.

Well a large portion of the maintenance cost is due to rarity of parts and having to ship them across an Ocean, not so if you live on the island they are made.

Yes and no. The 911 really is the stereotypical City trader car. "Chelsea Tractor" has more of a stay at home mom connotation. That's the problem. Love the Range Rover and if it wasn't so god damn common I'd get one, but every rich mom w/ a couple babies has one.

SinisterKid · 02-11-2011, 08:44 AM

More substantial than a Commander in terms of brand cache and build quality. Sportier and more exclusive. Higher maintenance cost though.

Did you end up buying anything? I can't handle the suspense.

DJ FC · 02-21-2011, 02:08 AM

Not yet.

But this caught my eye this weekend:

Ugly Bastard · 02-24-2011, 08:24 AM

I don't see the rush. He doesn't need a car (presumably; he's gone all this time in London without one). This is a very major purchase. You shouldn't buy one until the idea of not having it becomes unbearable. He clearly does not feel this way about any vehicle yet.

I think he means instead of an SUV. I had posted a picture of a Land Rover Defender.

Ugly Bastard · 02-24-2011, 11:57 AM

Ohhh... okay that makes more sense. It seemed out of character for Beebs to suggest one rush a process.

SinisterKid · 02-24-2011, 12:47 PM

That has to exceed your budget, unless it's in need of restoration. Is pricing significantly different for those because they're domestic?

DJ FC · 02-25-2011, 02:10 AM

The new ones are outside my budget, yes. But a slightly used one (2008 model or something) is definitely within striking distance.

SinisterKid · 02-25-2011, 08:04 AM

Dude, I say strike. The Defender is sick, the British troops roll around in them here and they look so much cooler than the H1s we have. Do a lot of people drive them in the UK or are they still relatively exclusive? I'll try and get a pic of one of the military spec ones here soon and post it.

You see them every day but only a handful of times. It's nothing like the Range Rover which is everywhere always.

SittinOnDubsWGW · 02-25-2011, 03:09 PM

That is badass. get one.

SinisterKid · 02-26-2011, 12:09 AM

Well you're definitely going to need something like a Defender to haul all the cases of this you'll be buying:

A Dutch Military G Wagon for that ass, FC. Still looking for an opportune time to snap a photo of a Defender out here.
