It gets me hot under the collar everytime I read "gaz-guzzling 4x4's"
I get 30mpg from mine. Why not attack Focus ST's which do about 24mpg or any other hot hatch for that matter.
Its really a war on school run mums in V8 Range Rover's which everyone else who drives a 4x4 has been caught up in.

My last vehicle was just a normal 1600 car and i get a lot more to the gallon out of my pajero!!
The only thing that cost's me more is the tax and insurance :evil: , i need my pajero to tow my caravan...
Wouldn' swap it for the world.

Like Datals siad it's just utter c***. how can you discriminate against one type of vehicle, where do yo put the cut-off?
Subaruy imprezzas can drink way more fuel than my LSE, they can't tow a horsebox or carry 2 big dogs but they are not persecuted like this, it's rifdiculous.

One of my customers came into the shop today and proudly boasted that he has joined the "Environmental Destroyers".
He has bought a brand new......
Fiat Panda 4x4!!!

--- Quote from: "zebidee" ---Okay - so you introduce a "permit" system with some way for people who really need a 4x4 to get a permit for free. Perhaps accredited organisations like the NFU could certify this need.
So what counts as needing a 4x4 - we use ours for towing a horse trailer and regularly driving across fields at horse shows. We're members of the Welsh Pony Society so perhaps they'd certify the issue of a free permit?
All you'd end up with though is people joining the BHS (British Horse Society) or BSJ (British Showjumping) or some such organisation without owning the horse to get the certificate.
Sounds like a pretty dumb idea to me.

I NEED my 4x4 for Green Laning.

When is this going to stop? I am getting seriously fed up with all this Government sponsored stereotyping. When is this country going to wake up and say enough is enough?
I am usually quite tolerant of others views, I have to be with my job. But I am now getting to the point where anybody who comes up to me and starts having a go at me because of what I drive and where I drive it, they are going to get a very short answer which will not do any favours for the image of 4x4 drivers.
I am getting to the end of my tether with all of this.
I am told that beer is bad for me. My choice to drink it.
I am told that it is bad to smoke. I know that, my money, my choice.
I am told my car is wrong. My choice. I paid for the car, the tax, the insurance and the fuel.
I have seen my country pulled into a war that was both pointless and futile and that has cost the lives of people who should not have been caught up in it.
I have seen this country's ability to stand up for itself, support itself and govern itself, being sold down the river to a bunch of Eurocrat politicians with no back bone.
It is all wrong.
Do we have to take this for much longer?
