Why have 4x4s?

[stoptheclock]

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the more fuss made about saving the planet and theres more and more hybrid/environmentally friendly cars being made the worse the problem is getting. Maybe its just coincidental i dont know but we dont seem to get really cold winters like we used to do with heavy snowfalls just in the same way we dont get 4 star petrol anymore

I'm not sure if it was a blanket ban!

Talking of snow though, I recently posted some snow to some relations overseas.
After a fortnight or so, I hadn't heard back from them, so I rang 'em up and said:

"D'ya get my drift?"....


Oh dear oh dear.
Seriously off topic now.

We had it converted to run on unleaded.

There's very little to top Landrovers for true 4x4 capability.
I'm currently looking at getting a Defender 110 TDi, thing is I dont want one thats too old and knackered so the prices are slightly prohibitive, I'm sure a bargain will turn up sooner or later though

I used to have a Diahatsu Fourtrac 2.8 L turbo commercial, it was awesome off road and could tow a tremendous amount of weight, but its on road performance was not good, neither was its feul consumption

I like the Landrover Defender but to me that says 'country'. What I fancy is a Range Rover Vogue SE that has been Kahn'ed up with greasey alloys and a badbwoi system. I am not bothered by the practicality, I just fancy it so the ride is high and I can look down on people,literally.

Besides it'll go with my new Barbour jacket
