        Humvee, ok they have a wide track. I have seen 4 x 4s such as Mercs, Volvos and BMWs rolled over on motorways.

        A bint in a 4 x 4 really p*&t me off at the fuel station last week. She stopped to get her crisps and coke (no fuel) and blocked every one in. I asked if she could reverse back a bit be she replied " I can't reverse in that" The was abusive too and the other "ladies" supported her saying how can you expect her to reverse.

            Take the RR Sport as an example. Try and make that fall over!

              Why do people have such a feeling against 4x4's? Personally I feel that you should buy whatever car you can afford and want. If its a 4x4 then so be it. Why do we not have the same feelings shown to say pickup trucks which are bigger and often, due to the tax breaks, used as a car replacement.
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                I have nothing against them, just the way some people seem to drive them. A fair few people think they can barge around in them and intimidate you out of the way. They are less stable than cars at speed around corners as other people have mentioned, which means they end up braking heavily.
                If the driver isn't driving aggressively (which many are) no problem at all.
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  Socialist inspired envy.

                  The middle classes drive them, ergo, they must be banned.

                  I personally don't aspire to a 4x4. I think they are ugly, slow, thirsty and boring (a bit like my good self).

                  However, the more the leftie types despise them, the more I'm warming to own a couple of real big ones!

                    I think you are wrong here. It's mainly the noveux riche that drive them.
