banning 4x4 etc

[timf]

seeing as everyone want to ban 4x4 as they are not used as they should be can i as a 4x4 driver start a
campain to ban mountain bike in urban areas as i have never seen a mountain in the towns.

Yup, arrest any Chav's in sportswear unless they can prove they're playing sport!

[timf]

exactly i'm sure we can come up with a list of things that are not used how they are ment to be used.

[c c]

Oh goody!! Another list.

How about divers watches.

[Fer]

Baseball Caps... oh, hang on, they did that one already.

How about empty buses?

[JMGS4]

and GreenPeace as they're neither green nor peaceful?

[whoateallthepies]

How about sports cars, as nobody is allowed to drive fast?

This always makes me laugh......4x4 could include the Fiat Panda, but wouldn't include my Dodge Ram 1500 RumbleBee 'cos it is only 2 wheel drive.

...and what about those specialist Transit vans that people like the electric companies and Cable & Wireless use? They are 4x4 - do they get banned?

Since the rest of the world gets models such as the Honda HRV, Toyota Rav4 and several Subaru's which arent 4x4 - what happens there? I am sure that there would be an explosion of "specialists" who can nobble the BMW 4x4 system to disengage the front and only have the rears in uses..... then its a 2 wheel drive car....

And not forgetting that the Chevy Suburban is available in 2 wheel drive too....!!! that will put a smile on the faces of the greenies....

Yes, for non divers.

Chimaera guzzles far more than my XC90

In fact, if we're talking about banning inefficient things from city centres, there's a really inefficient power-house in London.

What happens is, loads of money and man-hours go into it, and it produces things that lead to lots of congestion, unemployment, waste and so on that puts most SUVs in the shade. It's conveniently located on the banks of the Thames, so any bullshit produced washes away quickly.

Quite easy to find, opposite Westminster Abbey.

[vetteheadracer]

Sorry I thought you were talking at GLC or whatever red Ken's collection is called now, although agree that that is probably the 2nd biggest waste of money in London.

Bring these back

I often wonder what would happen if you drove one of these into an 'Alliance Against Urban 4x4s' stickering picket line and watch their reaction - defeat them on car knowledge!

Think how badly dragging a one tonne caravan affects the fuel consumption and emmissions of the average car - perhaps we should join forces (on this one specific occasion) and get the things banned.

[D_Mike]

all those lorries would have much better fuel consumption if they weren't carrying those trailers around
