Easy there thunder. Mine are great but I just dropped $2k on my Disco 4 (aka LR4) on an alternator and battery. And my 2001 Range Rover has been a fixture on and off in my garage for various things like plugs, coils, wires, O2 sensors since March. Much of that time is due to me taking my time. That truck is pretty bullet proof.

My 2017 RR Sport has been top shelf and caused no issues at all.

The Baldwin photo looks just like the ones of him after the film set shooting. I mean, its a car wreck, who the heck are you calling? I can't imagine he is so stupid he needs to call someone to be told what to not say after hitting a tree.

Wow, that video. Five bucks says he was looking at his phone and didn't see whatever that truck is (trash?) slowing in front of him then he took way too much corrective action. My newer RRs have unbelievable brakes. He probably didn't know they stop very nicely.

The truck is turning into the driveway/mailbox/tree before Baldwin hit it. Watching at .4 speed, at 26 seconds the truck starts to drive into the driveway before the tree. It stops. Then the RR hits the mailbox/tree.

Why are people so fascinated by him?

I wouldn't call it a fascination but more like watching a train wreck.

The whole Baldwin family are a bunch of effwads... They grew up a few miles from where I did..

That vid.. the truck is a garbage truck, you can see one of the forks left in the frame... The truck was probably turning into another property to empty a dumpster, and saw the RR on the right, and turned back onto the road...

Steven is an old friend of mine, (like 40 years friend), he's as right wing christian as they come. Do you think that he's also a fk wad? :cool:

Looks like the truck slowed down and went to the right shoulder for some unknown reason, and Baldwin didn't notice it until it was too late, passed to the right, and hit the tree. I can't imagine he wasn't distracted and completely at fault. I wonder if the truck pulled over because he saw Baldwin's car coming up fast. Maybe witness accounts will appear. This is a non-story except for Baldwin's notoriety.

Exactly. The only reason that people are discussing it here is because they don't like AB. I don't like him either but who gives a half a **** about this mishap. I just hope that the tree is ok. :)

I was selling Volvos in the mid-late '90s and a dealer in AZ called up to trade for our white 850R wagon for Stephen. They had just come out. I said okay, under one condition- he sign an 8x10 glossy to my girlfriend's daughter. I was told he laughed and said "sure." I think my girlfriend's daughter was too young to appreciate it. The only movie I recall seeing him in was Fled.. I thought it was good- maybe I'll watch it again.

Be funny if you asked Stephen if he remembers that. Small world and all.

The truck is a garbage truck, it was on its route, stopping and turning into properties every so often to empty a dumpster...

There was a super genius following

I think the driver of the truck saw in his passenger mirror, an idiot approaching to the right.

His karma ran over my treema.

Stephen plays "Buffalo Bill Cody" as one of "The Young Riders" in the '89-'92 TV show about the early days of the Pony Express.

He also co-starred in the '95 cult classic "The Usual Suspects".

On a surf trip I took with some buddies to Nicaragua, we brought some DVD's with us and that was one of them. A movie that travels well. Another was "The Transporter", which also travels well. :)
