Top man James
Bombard them with it as often as you can!
Their argument against Landrover owners is ridiculous.
Can't wait to hear their reply

I totally agree, As Land Rover advertize 70% of all those ever built are still in use, there can't be anything else that matches that?
How often do you see a Land Rover in a scrap yard? Most Scrap Yards produce far more pollution scrapping a car than the car produces in it's life, that's not even counting the waste from producing a replacement.

I work as an Environmental Officer, my job is looking after the Environment but I still think Greenpeace talk garbage a lot of the time. They just know how to grab headlines.

It would be interesting to get hold of a Greenpeace audit and see how many Land Rovers they buy in a year.
P38 Range Rover (BMW !!!)
Off Road camping Trailer - SA Design
And a boat - if you can call QM2 a boat?

Quote from: "Jake"

I too drive two cars
Both Disco's.
A diesel which covers less than 6k every year and a V8 running on LPG. Which covers less than 3k a year.


The above 2 are nothing compared to the miles you drive in your lorry. How much pollution do you pump out each and every day while trying to earn a living?(I'm not having a dig at you personally). This is more important than what vehicle you drive at home.
I operate a machine that goes through 45-50 galls a day, as do most machines in the construction industry. I consider the 3 galls a day that I burn travelling to/from work to be nothing compared to what I use when I get there.
While we live in a society where money and profit comes before the  environment then we will achieve very little in the way of rectifying the situation.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
