Putting this on all the main fora, for maximum coverage!
This stupidly ignorant woman, Sian Berry from Alliance Against Urban 4x4s appears to be spreading her poison across the border into Wales now. There is a local rag website running a poll asking whether we are spawn of the devil or not, and so far two thirds of voters seem to think we are. Time to make your mark folks!

Not sure if this is the right section for it?

Sorry if you made the trip for nothing. It seems that as soon as the vote started turning in the wrong direction they pulled it! :roll:
I think it ended up 64% against the woman, thankfully.

It'd be interesting to see what sort of numbers other votes get.
My guess is the antis had their people voting and we whooped them.

Hello all

Does the antis 4x4 car  groups check there car data before sticking there nose’s in because I don’t like to admit this but I have also got a Volvo 20ltr 850 estate and this will only do 23 miles per gallon around town on a good day and seat 5 ? Does this make me an environmental hooligan? When my absolutely nasty all wheel drive monster of the road and grass and mud  environmentally unfriendly bunny killer does 25 miles to the gallon + and seat’s 6 I didn’t buy a 7 seater I made my own ( my mother in law refused to sit on the roof rack) some people are so fussy. And I will also tell you the Volvo it is 2 inches longer than the bunny killer. I often wonder if the media checks there information before they slag us off? Or try to nail anybody to there political cross or am I only being a little bit cynical god for bid.

The very upset arightpest

I hope you are not saying that the powers that be didn’t listen to you. Because you must admit that they are your gods and of the world and the next and they know best in all things and never get any thing wrong? (Mr Blare and Mr Brown Know all things and are never wrong) so I am told I always read the sun. but I didn’t say I buy it the best news is always one day old well its is were I work plus it doesn’t cost anything.

Have you noticed her arguament's softening, it's now ok for us to go off-road!
Thanks for that Sian, I wouldn't have done it without your permission!

Apparently I'm no safer in my Range Rover than in my Micra!  well having been rear-ended in both by some useless numpty I would beg to differ, and what's this c**p about 4x4s being more likely to kill pedestrians?
It's about time they did their homework, according to 5th gear's Tiff you're actualy safer being hit by my Rangie than by a Eurobox, because the high front spreads the impact over your whole body whereas the nice, safe family car breaks your leg in two whilst catapulting your head into the base of the windscreen giving you fatal head injuries.  All this before throwing you up in the air so it can hit you again as you come back down.  I site this as evedence because no-one else seems bothered to find out what really happens in a pedestrian accident!

Now, according to Cheshire police we are among the safest drivers on the road, partly because of our comanding veiw of the road and perhaps more than a little because we seem to be above average inteligence.  Perhaps this is why the only car on my drive cheaper to insure than the V8 Range Rover is my 1980 Escort 1.3 on a classic policy, and that's because it's laid up!

My car has higher fuel needs, ********!  My car runs on LPG, if I didn't use it it would be burned off anyway, it's a by-product of refining Eurobox fuel, environmentally speaking, my car runs for FREE!

However, when did the truth get in the way of a nice bit of prejudice!

Well does someone want to do just that, provided it hasn't been done already?
