Motorcade Sponsored by Range Rover, Rolls

Motorcade Sponsored by Range RoverWe've learned the Range Rovers in the motorcade transporting Michael Jackson's family to Forest Lawn was handled by Land Rover Encino.

We're told last night at 10 PM 10 drivers pulled up to Encino Range Rover and picked up 10 vehicles -- a combo of regular and superchargers.

We also just found out O'Gara Coach Company in Bev Hills, and the dealership allowed the family to use 3 of its cars.

The dealership is not charging the Jackson family.

The vehicles will be returned tonight.

16. With all due respect, Range Rovers are pieces of crap. Land Rover/Range Rover America refuses to provide restitution to its vehicle owners for it's defective engines in their LR3/Discovery/Freelander models. If you want to spend alot of money on a car, do not spend it on a Range Rover/Land Rover product. Their engines seize just after the warranty expires (50K miles) and since the models' engines are no longer being manufactured, your only option is an old restored engine (for $7,000) that will suffer the same fate. I lost $9,000 on a Land Rover and traded it before the engine died completely for a Toyota. Disclaimer: This is my opinion, based on my personal experience, of which I have every right under the First Amendment to express.

17. Typical...the Rich get richer and the Poor get poorer. Jacksons CAN afford these funeral expenses..and yet...they get it FOR FREE.

You low-life just try to get a Land Rover for FREE.

19. For the mememememememe ignorant comment poster.....why are you taking digs on white men who have passed away on this forum? WTF does that have to do with anything? Want some dip with that chip on your shoulder? Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis married consenting females. And it was an accepted act back then, not just limited to the Southern states. It was "OK" in the northern states as well.

20. RIP MJ

Hey its ok if you didnt like him or had less than admiration for him, but come on show a little class and resepect...

He was an ICON ..

if you dont care for him or this, dont bother to log on , or watch the coverage

most would never open their mouths in person, they hide behind a computer

thinks it makes them look so "special"

well it doesnt...

if you have a cause to support, do it on your on , not piggy back it on a celeberty or news event

Im sure the city of LA is making plenty of money from the fans flocking to there

22. Since Rovers have the worst service record of ANY car-suv-truck they might need a tow truck or two following them


Rock on you MJ, Rock on with your bad self

Cheers

23. Oh, isn't that nice that they aren't charging the Jackson family anything.....LET'S JUST CHARGE THE HARD WORKING TAX PAYERS OF LOS ANGELES!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! CHARGE THE JACKSON FAMILY. CHARGE AEG. CHARGE ANYONE ELSE. WHY SHOULD I, ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER TAX PAYERS, HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR SOMETHING AS STUPID AS THIS?!?!?!?! 4 Million dollars?! Are you freaking kidding me?! Its sad what all this is coming to. I'm sick to death of hearing how he was so great. Where were all these people when his records weren't selling?! Please people, stop crying over him. You didn't personally know the guy. GET OVER YOURSELVES!!! Let us all move on.

24. MJ was truely the people's artist. He was a gift from GOD. God sent him here to inspire through his music and to be the voice of the people no one would listen to. I wish the media would focus on all the contributions he made to society instead of the controversy. Why is not mentioning anything about Jordon Chandler -1993 accuser rescinding his allegation against MJ. If MJ were WHITE i'm sure the media would stess his accomplishments and not his faults. He deserves respect, He was around for 4 DECADES...Name another artist that has accomplished this.

25. Brilliant. There are some other dealerships banging theirs heads against walls wishing they'd got in their first.

26. Where is Jamie Foxx now? He stated MJ was 'ours', he was black, we shared him with the rest". Where is all the money from all these stars that loved him?

The Jackson 5 started in Motown.
Traitors.

29. I want to thank KISS radio station for announcing the broadcast of MJ's Memorial for his funeral. I cried through the Smokey Robinson adn Brook Sheilds words, and through Michal Jackson's Daughter's words about her dear father who has been taken away from her. God bless her special, with mORE.... Michael says what i always say to my kids when they say they love me " i love you more"

We love YOU MORE MJ!
