Well the government went against public opinion in relation to 24 hour drinking, lets hope they do the same regarding the anti-ownership of 4x4 vehicles  :wink:

hmm, the voting suddenly gained 4,000 'yes' votes between one person voting and seeing the result, looks like someone's hacked it!! Typical, level playing field? I think not! (Good thing we got 4WD :wink: )

Oh, I've invited Jezza to have me on for a face to face with Sian, see how she likes REAL facts??
Will he reply

Took me some 20 attempts and then eventually I got through.

What I discussed with Jeremy was useless as he then asked me a different question, I was a bit thrown off my point then  :(

Missed it
 :cry:

Sounds like it was fun though.
Well done Ash for getting on.

Talking of road tax for a moment.
If they want to make the tax on 4x4's £2000, that wont be very fair.
Our 7.5 tonne trucks only pay £165 per year, dig the road up a lot worse that a 4x4 , run twice as bad (smoke clouds) and take up twice as much room as you average 4x4.
Silly, un-thought out arguement.
That would meen trucks would have to pay £4000 for a 17 tonne and £100,000 for an artic per year.
hmm, cant see that somehow.
Look at the ruckus the trucks did last time the road tax was raised and the fuel tax was raised.
Blocked motorways and London to a stand still.
