nice car, only 4x4 worth having is the Discovery or the Defender though, if your going to use it for what its meant to be used for.
made me laugh in the recent floods all these supposed 4x4's breaking down in the water  that would never happen in a disco or defender

There was a flash flood in Sandy when I went to pick the missus up a while ago. There was flood across the road, higher then the kerb. I went through quicker than an X5 coming the other way

not sure why people buy these chelsea tractors, it certainly isn't for safety otherwise they would buy a volvo or saab nor is it help the enviroment. I don't understand why people buy them as they don't do anything that can't be achieved in more enviromental and safer car - they seem a bit pointless.
But itake it, your old man can now be seen dodging in and out of traffic and dangerously lane swapping on the motorways, whilst "forgetting" to indicate?

Why do people buy cars that can do 200mph when you can only do 70mph?

you can do a lot more than 70. You just be sneaky so you dont get caught.
I dont think a suit in his 4x4's gnar be able to 'sneakily' go through a paddling pool and offroading on a golfcourse because theres no forest around.
I dont mind if they're driven sensibly, but when they're aresy, shitly driven and driving on small thin roads obv not big enough for them they piss me off

Whats worse is why people buy cars that can do 200mph and only do 20 in a 30 zone

take them around tracks? but it's also another good point, perhaps cars should be restricted. It certainly wouldn't bother me, especially if SUVs could be banned from the roads

Lovely car - everybody calls them, saying the take up to much room and they boss folk around the road - i call them when i see people in them if doing something unfriendly, like barging through traffic, but saying that i would love one
Quick, and so smooth. lAlot of peoples comments towards these cars are jealiousy (not just on the forum before anyone moans).
Everyone moans about these and the enviroment, but no one would mension anything if he bought a 545 beemer with that stonking V8. But this with is 6 cyclinders it just a target due to its size.
Deep down no body with any car enthusiasm gives a shit about the planet, because they would buy the bigger engines - ie the VXR'S, GTI'S, VRS',Sports, RS' etc They would have the 1.6 tdci or something.
Anyway rant over, i just think people get two faced over these
Stunning car

I know the twats, why arent they doing at least 180
Come on mate, that has nothing to do with it, if it can do 40mph, or 240 mph - top speed has nothing to do with a 30 zone

When your trying to get home from work some badger is doing 20mph in a 30mph while the lights are on green and then by the time you get there they change red and its another lifetime before you get through. It's not like I'm up there ass either and I'm giving them a reason to go slow to wind me up. Just you get a few people like that which winds me up.
Im probably just an impatient bastard but oh well

If your all pissed off about people doing 20 in a 30 zone get a superbike and fuck off home
I wouldnt buy a supercar because I live in london and will be stuck in traffic 24/7 and I cant afford it.
If I wanted to go fast a nice gsxr600 £6000 new would do me fine if anybody wants to offer.
Its an x5, wagga muffin machine to me.
I think there pointless, would rather something like a Td5 if I was going off road that is !
There is alot of bad press about the chelsea tractors cant think why that would be
