BBC- Joe public suddenly realise "4x4 Tax" really

<< < (3/4) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
Hmmm.... well, that's a well thought through tax, isn't it?  :roll:

The bit about 4x4's is the usual ill informed, blinkered view that the only 4x4's that exist are BMW X5's and Mercedes M class. Yes, if you have one of these, it is quite likely that you don't leave it on the street at night. But there will be many old Vitara's and the like that are.

As for needing an Espace because of having 3 children..... what's wrong with them walking to school? They choose to live in the city so that everything is convenient for goodness sake. And when they do need a car, just about any family saloon will do. The *only* legitimate reason she has an Espace is because she *wants* one, freedom of choice. And why not, say I.

I just wish people would stop making excuses as to why the choose one vehicle over another and own up to the real reasons. Like so called celebrities buying a Prius because they say it's 'green'..... rubbish! They buy it so they can been seen to be 'green'. Even though it is misinformed. They wouldn't touch it with a barge pole otherwise!

Range Rover Blues:
I saw a program recently about how bad flying is for the environment and they wer naming and shamiong the worst celebs.  POsh and becks are up there but oddly so are some of the pius owning holywood types.

Range Rover Blues:
Now I see what all the fuss is about.  Well I still say that if you own a car you should have somewhere to park it, I sympathise with those who live in terraces and the like but to live on a min road and block the road when you could park on a driveway is selfish.  How would that daft t**t feel if her 3 children were run over trying to cross behind her quite frnakly huge peoplke carrier.

Oh, and a Mondeo is an ordinary car but it still takes up more road space than my Range Rover.

--- Quote from: "paul_humphreys" ---But why dose she need a Espace to carry 3 kids? Any car will do that even a LR or Disco.

Its the people who have a new Mini that will have a shock.

so if every one parkes in there garden it wont make any extra spaces as there access would have to remain clear

Range Rover Blues:
There are 3 seatbelts in the back of a Micra, she needs an espace just like I need a Range Rover for my caravan, if not less than I do.
