L405 Range Rovers (2012-2022) have an issue which could give the Owners a considerable amount of headaches; JLR made a very questionable engineering choice by using steel which is prone to rust to make the drainage tube for the panoramic sunroof, once this fails or gets clogged due to rust -Water will seep down the headliners & B pillars and drench the rear passenger footwells and potentially destroy electronics like the Amplifier, parking sensor modules,Camera modules, rear entertainment system & Body control modules in addition to other critical components.

Something I’ve noticed about car culture is that a lot of people seem to love the image of driving more than the actual experience.
They want the badge, the horsepower, the aggressive body kit and the attention at the traffic lights.
But give them a lightweight car with a manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive and no electronic safety net, and suddenly it’s too uncomfortable, too slow or too difficult to live with.
There’s a difference between loving the image of driving and loving the actual experience.
Be honest. Do you love driving, or do you love what you drive?

If they're not benefiting from the predatory loans they're giving out, they would have stopped giving them out, and they wouldn't be aggressively calling more people to come and take the loans.
These loan sharks charge exorbitant interest rates that automatically make it difficult for even well-meaning borrowers to pay back — interests that sometimes exceed even the principal. So, the blame rests more on the lenders than the borrowers.
The majority of Nigerians who owe today don't owe normal banks because normal banks don't charge outrageously high interest rates; they make it easy for you to pay back.
But you see these loan sharks? Their goals are to feed on people's desperacy, especially the hopeless situation of the teeming population of struggling youth who don't even know where their next meals are coming from.
And let's be real:
Let's say you've not eaten for days and a loan company tells you they have a loan offer for you, will you not go and take it to feed yourself? Mind you, these loan apps are aware that some of the people they're giving loans actually don't have jobs. They know. Yet, they give out the loans. They also advertise these loans deceptively, lying to people that they can borrow ₦100,000 and pay back just ₦100,100.
And, sincerely, if you consider the outrageous interests these apps put on their loans, you'll realize they're making far more from than they claim to be losing.

The car left Croatia, was driven through Slovenia and ended up in Austria where it eventually got recovered.

In 2010, BMW created an E92 M3 specifically for China to celebrate the Year of the Tiger. 🐅
Meet the BMW M3 Tiger Edition.
Finished in Fire Orange Metallic, the same striking colour associated with the M3 GTS, it featured black 19-inch Style 359M wheels, dark exterior accents, black Novillo leather with orange stitching, and embroidered tiger logos on the front headrests.
Under the bonnet? The familiar 4.0-litre naturally aspirated S65 V8 producing 420 hp. No extra power over the standard M3. Just a distinctive, market-specific special edition.
Here’s the interesting part: contemporary reports stated that BMW planned to produce 250 examples globally, with only 30 allocated to China. The exact production total deserves caution, as later sources report different figures.
It was BMW celebrating its M3 heritage and the Chinese zodiac in one very orange package. 🧡
Would you take this over a standard E92 M3?
