    Don't worry, I'll come and save you in my 4x4. Seats 5 in comfort don'cha know.

        Anyway I'm trading my 18 mpg motor for a 15 mpg vantage....

                I used to, when I had a land rover.

                My friend is an eco-worrier and drives around with a roof-box on his car all the time. He can't be bothered to remove it, despite the impact on the emissions. Innocent lambs are dying, or something.

                  Used to do loads of proper offroading. Mostly around WElsh hill farms and the like, usually trying to rescue or feed stupid animals. Either use a MkII Landie or a Massey Ferguson and never get stuck. Only posers (or townies playing at being countrymen) use posh cars off road.

                  And if you're going to buy a 4x4, get one with proper permanent 4WD so you can turn corners.

                      Mine's got 2wd\4wd high\4wd low plus a lockable diff switch for when you only have a couple of wheels on the ground.
