Not that it would make too much difference. The Goverment no longer represent, more state what the country wants.

Seems to be moving a bit now

Agreed, at the mo, things are going to be interesting to see how people go on.

My mate is getting a regular stream of breakdowns and half the time I go out with the disco to sort them out, no complaints yet though :wink:

I e-mailed before the show began:

--- Quote ---Dear Jeremy

Are you a member of the Urban alliance against 4 x 4's? You seem to give them, and their ilk plenty of free pubicity, with very little opportunity for those of us who drive 4 wheel drive vehicles an opportunity to redress the balance. It gets pretty tiresome, hearing all the same hackneyed arguments trotted out time after time.

Yes I drive a Land Rover

Yes it is my ONLY vehicle

Yes I use it off road as my 'hobby' as well as my family car

Yes it is MY choice WHAT type of vehicle I drive

My car is 14 years old, a diesel engined vehicle; it does approximately 30 mpg: more than many 2 WD cars.

The majority of pollution caused by motor cars is is their PRODUCTION not their running life; thus supposedly 'environmentally friendly' vehicles which only last 5 years (if that) are far more damaging to the environment than any older vehicle, regardless of the number of wheels which have power to them.

70% of all Land Rovers produced are STILL on the road; and thay have been made since 1948, how many "smart cars" will still be in use when they are over 50 years old??

The arguments and figures used by these anti 4x4 groups are not even factual; they are figures from the USA, using "SUV's many of which are not available to buy in the UK

Bad drivers are dangerous, it does not matter what vehicle they are in.

If these people want to do something to help humanity, I suggest they go and do some voluntary work in the third world (as I have done) or campaign for a higher standard of driving in the UK.

I also suggest you take a look at http://www.4x4prejudice.org/ this site gives a balanced view of the prejudice we put up with from 'do-gooders' who could benefit the world and their fellow man from more constructive use of their, clearly abundant, free time!



Please feel free to call me if you would like me to contribute further to the discussion."
