Why dont LR fit bluetooth in the RR Sport?

Im really suprised that in most of the FL2 range bluetooth comes as standard and yet it appears in the far more expensive RRS the poor owners, usually school run blondes (of both sexes), seem to be bereft of this basic facility.

I have taken note recently of how many owners seem to lack this useful function, generally obvious as they have to avoid indicating to eliminate the need to take their phone away from their ear.

I am presuming that the option is offset by the additional material in the window tints!

Bluetooth is standard on RRS but limited compatibility as I have found Sad

Also the drivers you are describing probably can't work out how to pair phone Rolling with laughter Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Most RRS drivers I've seen seem very happy to hold their phones against there heads.

Obviously so important that they aren't able to control several tonnes of metal killing machine without sharing the experience on the phone.

Are RRS drivers genetically related to 7.5 tonne van drivers? Their phone usage does suggest a link. Definitely a good excuse for a bit of old-fashioned biological experimentation Twisted Evil

While holding the phone up so that they can talk out of their... yes makes sense. Alternatively we may have discovered a new scientific fact - the inverse genetic relationship.
And of course there is a certain peripatetic section of the population who tend to tow c Censored ns behind their 7.5 tonners. is that a genetic offshoot (or "sport")?

pikeys, the sort that set fire to my hedge while chopping up a gate with a gas axe, in order to cash it in at the scrapyard. The gate being there to keep said pikeys and their lurchers from murdering all the hares on the farm whilst on a recce for things to steal ,sneak ways to drive vans to my workshop in the night, gates to gas axe etc. ban the van Evil or Very Mad

pikeys, recently stole a large valuable electric motor from a nearby farm, the farmer managed to call the scrap yard before the motor arrived there and the yard owner delivered his own brand of justice on the feckless pikes Laughing At work

Sadly it is illegal to burn caravans Confused , pollution emmisions apparently, I'd have thought van burning would be saving the planet from towing mpg emmisions so would be promoted.

note the above link everyone complains about possible racism nobody mentions the burning plastic/insulation Rolling Eyes At work
