Good point Tim. I had this conversation with my next door neighbours the other week. They are in principle against me having my "toy" to play with but they are kind enough to leave me alone about it. But I had to laugh when they told me they were off to the USA for their summer holidays and they were making a point of not booking an SUV as a hire car coz it was bad for the planet etc...I had to point out they were being hypocrytical having just dumped X million times more pollution into the atmosphere by crossing the Atlantic in a jumbo. :shock:

About 360 kilogrammes per seat per flight as a rough estimate (Concorde used 1,000Kg)
And the emissions are far worse.

Go on Andrew, do the maths. How does this compare to the average car then? :lol:

For 2 of us that equates to about 4,500 miles or more in the Range Rover, Family of 4, 9,000 miles plus.
Disgraceful really given that the holiday lasts 2 weeks on average, 9,000 miles in a fortnight? :roll:
