My A**e

After all the crap that is in the press about tax increase and 4x4 bashing I saw some numpty talking about how "Socially unacceptable it is becoming to drive and own a 4x4"

He pointed out that the rich and famous are going down the lines of electric cars and crap like the Gwizz.

Well quite frankly I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t give a s**t what some useless TV personality drives, they only interested in them selves and their image :roll: If it became fashionable to saw you leg off in public and donate it to some third world country to help starving families they would be stupid enough to do it.

I say lets organise a big rally and drive to London for a family day out! Screw what the anti's say as long as we pay our congestion charge we have a right to be there.

so it's going to be socially unacceptable to drive a 4x4 ?

Good, fantastic, blooming excellent news. Considering that I've no intention of pandering to an ego mass that demands conformity it's not going to make diddley squat of a difference to my choices but as the masses move onto something else the pressure to increase taxation will do as well.

the loon · « **Reply #11 on:** March 20, 2007, 21:34:06 »

my responce may not be as dressed up as some or rely on any arguments etc but if they say its "socialy unexcetable" I say
F**k 'UM
its my fredom to choose what I drive... perhaps I find it "socialy unexceptable" to be preached to by muppets who distort the facts,lie,harasse me and otherwise just make a general nusance of themselves.
Although the UK has no "bill of rights" such as the USA that I still have a certain amount of personal freedom to drive what ever the hell I want.

Rant over...soapbox placed back in storage

Count me in as well.

To be honest, the anti-4x4 people just make me laugh everytime I see them spouting their rubbish and handing out their pieces of paper.

I have even been at traffic lights in town and had one woman wind down her window and start on me for driving a large 4x4 and that im polluting the planet and killing something or other. I personally then got a bit wound up and told her that I enjoy driving my big gas guzzler round town and she shouldn't interfere with other peoples business.

So yes, im up for a little protest!

Whilst I agree with the general direction of this thread I would like to say that I love London, I enjoyed living and working there for many years. It doesn't all stink and it isn't all a dump. If i could afford to move back I would probably consider it. Looking forward to the 2012 games!

mmgemini · « **Reply #18 on:** March 21, 2007, 10:12:02 »

Well let's do it.
However to make a real point let's do it as a fund raising project for a charity.
That way people can see that we care about others.

BBC Children in Need to hit the BBC where it hurts.

I lived in lundon whilst I was a student. The place was a toilet then and it's a toilet now.

It's the dump at the bottom of the country we keep the tourists in.

The only reason lundon is the capital of this country is that it was the EASIEST place for the Romans to invade.

What sort of a reason is that?
"let's have our seat of government here, it's so hard to defend".

Anyhoo, last time I took the Rangie to lundon, I didn't get charged a penny. I heard that as a visitor you may be exempt :?

Anyway, I was only there for a few hours because SWMBO was on a course for 3 days and ended up in hospital with FOOD POISENING, that's because the place is a toilet.

So let's go somewhere nice I say. How about the coast somewhere? Stick of rock, fish and chips, ride on the donkey?

all the major e-coli outbreaks have been outside of london.....Wales.....scotland..... just bad luck!

Ralph · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2007, 12:53:49 »

What is needed is a planned route around the city centre past the houses of parliment with as many 4x4s as we can get.
The idea is a protest not just a meet anywhere.
It needs good organization and planning and support from owners not the usual "i'd be there BUT"
It will also need to be a weekday.
I dont mind organizing this though help would be grateful and also it is to involve all 4x4ers not just people from this forum.
Pm me if interested,

spy · « **Reply #24 on:** March 22, 2007, 13:07:55 »

I would be up for it! Would have to make sure its not too early, its 200 miles from here. How about driving (or as close as possible anyway) the marathon route? We would also be best to meet up outside of london as well and drive in on mass!

My only concern is would we be making things worse?

Cheers,

Mike

Right then guys lets come up with a date and then get advertising on every site we can think of and try to arrange with others meeting places along the way. We are gonna do this!!!!

spy · « **Reply #29 on:** March 22, 2007, 22:08:18 »

If its happening I reckon we need to pick a date at least a month in advance, that way most people should be able to make it. Once there is a date etc I will happily advertise any of it on my website if it helps at all.

Hows about a poll to see how many people are willing?
