I Live in the south east, and watched it. I saw nothing about 4x4's.

It was BBC East - not BBC South East - each region has it's own show with it's own "local" issues  :roll:

From the BBC Website

Quote
Urban 4 x 4s
 
King of the road or gas guzzler?  
Users say they're comfortable and safest for their children.

Campaigners say they're endangering other people's children to say nothing of destroying the planet.

We put Vicky Harrison a Greenpeace campaigner and Neil Brownlee who owns three 4 x 4s in the car together and let them argue it out.

Neil Brownlee loves his Land-Rovers. But not everyone's impressed by Neil's passion.
Greenpeace campaigner Vicky Harrison thinks people like him are public enemy number one.
While Neil spends his weekends having fun in his 4x4s, Vicky spends hers protesting against them.

She's been demonstrating at a Land-Rover dealership in Neil's home town of Northampton.  Greenpeace has specifically targeted the 4x4 company, accusing it of selling gas-guzzling cars which contribute towards global warming.

At the Brownlee household choosing a different car means deciding what Land Rover to drive.   They've got a fleet of three - mum's already left for work in hers - so the kids get to choose between the V8 Discovery and the V8 Range Rover - both cars top Greenpeace's climate hit list.  The kids love the cars so much they've even given them names.

On the road

Vicky agrees to go for a spin with Neil once the children have been dropped off.  She's concerned about greenhouse gases due to what she says are the high fuel consumption of the vehicles - and safety, particularly children being knocked over by the bumper.

Vicky and Neil agree... to disagree on 4x4s.  Neil disagrees - and reckons by dropping the children on his way to work he isn't making an unnecessary journey.

Land Rover didn't want to take part in our report - but they did tell us that 97% of sales of the new Discovery are diesel models which average around 30 miles to the gallon.

Meanwhile Neil and Vicky will never agree.   During a heated debate Vicky asks Neil, "don't you care about your children - they're going to inherit the planet".

Neil retorts, "They're going to inherit a 4 x 4!"

Good Man Thrash! :D

I recorded it on DVD and could convert it to a WMF or similar to upload to the web - is it possible to do this via the Mud Club site? I know the facility to upload vids was possible a while back, don't know if it still is (it wasn't last time I looked)?

Cheers,

Nick

Shame you didn't wangle your disputes with H into the conversation.

Greenpeace aren't the only people to threaten to picket them :lol:

Well done Neil.

I'd have driven along and gone.....

'twas good, and that point when Niel put his foot down to overtake or something, that V8 Exhaust note was beautiful.
