4x4's Good or Bad

Ive had my rant about Stratstone, does anyone mind if I have another!
I was watching the news on friday morning and hit between the eyes by a newspaper 'frontpage' saying 4x4 are the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. OK so it was in the Independent but why are we set apart and exposed to such vitreol. I know lots of 4x4 owners, they generally keep thier cars in very good order, servicing etc, and dont drive excessive mileages so on the whole dont pollute anymore than many other types on the road. Ever sat in traffic in London with Taxi's nearby belching deisel fumes!!
So what do you think, am I being oversensitive.
Regards Tony

weve had this before mate, its a fukin great big can of worms that aint even worth peeping in let alone opening

maybe you did, before my time tho!!!

I've had just enough beer in me to have a rant myself.

But I can't be arsed.

Any how you're talking bollocks.

We don't take up any more space on the road, we keep our cars serviced and emissions down, but we're different, so an easy target.

If you feel guilty about having a 4x4(!) you could give some money to some tree huggers to plant trees to offset your carbon emissions. Letter in LRO this month relating to that very topic!

no mate if its intelligent discussion you are after then you have come to the wrong forum. you should have checked out the majority of threads before joining, then you would have realised this is an idiots forum. you obviously have had an operation for the sense of humour bypass therefore i would like to congratulate you as it was a roaring sucess. the fact of the matter is that this forum is a light hearted forum where everyone takes the **** and has a laugh and a joke. we all help each other out with problems with our vehicles but the one thing we don't do is get involved in the political bull****. so either take the stiff pole from u your arse, relax and join in the fun or take umbridge and work yourself into a frenzy by the comments that others put. its a free choice that only you can take. remember, the only person that gets worked up by the comments is the person that takes it too seriously. the others see this as a green light for some serious **** taking. no offence meant, just explaining how this forum works and why its so popular

Where in fecks name does it say 'intelligent'? The beauty of this site is that you'll always get the answer you were looking for. You started with a fairly pointless rant and therefore received fairly pointless replies. But the replies were funny.
