Do you drive 4x4?

[DforDiva]

Oh, Seen thread for old car, i just thought how many of us drive 4x4? I go soft play once a week and carpark is always full of shiny 4x4, some of them takes 2 parking space. Really p* off Im going to stop traffic now. And turn into green,too

Yes.

An 8 year old 7 seater.

we have 5 dc

and we use it to pull horses/cattle in a trailer

Dh does. A teeny weeny little one. He's a builder - is that OK?

I have a 4x4 and I love it!
I have an Izusu Trooper 7 seater and I tow a horsebox and it does a daily run around a 5 acre field to fill water, so there!

FIRE UP THE QUATTRO

no

they are hated, peanut, because they are not necassary in a city environment. Poeple up mountains or those hauling livestock around need a decent working vehicle. You don't need one to drive to Sainsbo's.
I reckon if they hadn't proliferated in the cities then all this fuss wouldn't have arisen and those who genuinely need one wouldn't be slapped with all the higher tax etc etc (although I remember farmers get cheap red deisel?)
They are unneccasry in London.

Needmorecoffee - we are FORBIDDEN to run on red diesel. The police dip your tanks on market day and any other time they want.

when did that change? Surely thats daft cos farmers have to bring in the crops and move livestock?

Yup I drive a Nissan X Trail

Of course not!

I live in inner-city London, not the Sahara! And I have a tent not a caravan, and the only animals I transport to the vet are 2 dwarf rabbits not horses or sheep or llama.

Yes and so what-I should be shot?

you are allowed it in agricultural vehicles only (i.e tractors) needmorecoffee

and only then if 100% agricultural uses

Yes I have one, but I live in Africa so is that alright then? Or is it worse because the poor Africans may starve because of the harm my 4x4 is doing to their environment?

has any one been stopped and told how bad they are? at traffic? or lights
dont get it wrong we had jeep grand cherokee
it just some people takes too much parking space and etc...

if you have a horse or cattle or sheep etc or live in the sticks course you need a 4x4

you don't need them in north london, unless you're a knob.

mercedes are in fashion now anyway, numpties

So a Mercedes 4 x 4 is spot on then!!!!

Fab - mine is a merc 4x4!

Oh yes i have a lovely BMW X3 at the moment but I am waiting for my gorgeous shiney brand new 7 seater BMW X5

CHALLENGE ALERT!!!!!

who is got wot?

yep I drive a mitsubishi shogun only a few years old. My dh has his own vehicle for work. Mine is purely to take the kids to classes and do shopping.
i love it.
I can afford it, so its up to me.

what do you drive then Cod?
