Most of my drive ways in the 70s ~90s were more challenging...

The guy in that video drives his SUV "off road" like you do. Wink

This guy drives his Rolls "off road" a bit more aggressively.

I think I could appreciate a Rolls if I the money but that is damn ugly.

Why? As one poster already said, that is no worse than most county roads or driveways.
Why does everyone think "Off-Road" is mud? Let's see how it does with boulders, off camber trails.

Engineer Pass or Mosquito Pass in Colorado. Not overly challenging, but at least it's not a dirt road after some rain.

I noticed the Jeep rescue vehicle following.

If I had a billion dollars, I still wouldn't buy one.

It needs some off-road pinstripes.

Where are the winches? No winches = NOT an off-roader.

This is probably THE definitive poser-mobile the world has ever seen.

No doubt the Kardashians, those epitomes of good taste, have four or five of them....

Also missing a roll bar, skid plate, bush guard, knobby tires, lift kit, hi-lift jack, spare gas can, ...

Driving a half mile on a flat, damp trail is not off-roading.

Baja 500 is next weekend. SCORE needs a new class "Cartel Limited Class" in which only street legal, unmodified luxury cars like this Rolls can run.

Run must have a/c on the entire time, windows up.

RR has always had my respect, until this blasphemous abortion of an off-road vehicle. Like mentioned above, the Kardashians will have one. Almost as lame as that “driver”.

One road test I watched for the Bentley Bentayga, the reporter pointed out that the folding trays on the front seats were $2000 EACH extra, and that the car he was driving had over $70K worth of extras.....THIS abortion would make all that look like pocket change.

My guess is that it will be very popular in Eastern Europe, Russia, and parts of the Northeast, as it would be more suited to their "roads".

That is not off roading. Not even close.

I have always maintained that I would never drive a Rolls-Royce.

Heck, if I had the money to buy a Rolls, I'd have the money to hire a chauffeur!




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I don't understand why he'd be afraid, either. It's obviously a course chosen by Rolls-Royce and with a representative of the company in the vehicle, he wouldn't be held liable for any damages incurred.
