4x4s Get Off the Road

I have penned a response although I'll be surprised if this isn't yet another one sided anti 4x4 piece.

Me too! Any opportunity to put our case must be used!!

They won't read them out for you. What they want are opinionated/excited people to join in a shouting match on TV. Sounds like a complete nightmare.

I envisage someone being picked who won't be particualrly articulate or come over all that well deliberately. I'd just like to say before any one suggests me, I'm busy that day.

I sent a snotty email to BBC Three Counties news room after they posted some tripe about 4x4s tearing up footpaths. The response was very nice and they invited me to join in a radio debate with some old lady from the ramblers association. I turned down the invite and suggested they contact GLASS.

There is sure to be an anti 4x4 spokes-person with a rehearsed list of "facts" and horror stories. When they accuse you of giving their child asthma and running over their cat there is little you can come back with.

I wonder if there are any figures on the number of cars using bio-diesel. There are probably many times more Land Rovers than modern family cars or city cars.

Who told them about the cat?

They are ultimately at the mercy of the host.

I hit a cat in Sussex the other day. I was doing 60 at the time. I was in the works Megane, though. Does that count?

Well I got an email back from her saying she'd be in touch.

Watch this space...

Ditto!

Engage cynical mode - automated responses?

Was it a 4x4 Megane? I suspect it must have been. Only 4x4s are dangerous.

TV programmes made to depict violently opposing opinions rather than a balanced, common-sense view? That's never happened before.

I dont think so, as it changed from a generic mailbox to a person.

Hi Andy,

Suggest posting it to uk.rec.cars.4x4 as well.

I received a phone call this morning from 'Catherine'. She did comment that there had been a sudden surge in pro Land Rover emails. It was inconvenient for me to talk at work, but she is ringing again this afternoon.

Let's hope we are not strung out to dry for the entertainment of the nation. =:-( ) Neil

I sent tham a suitably opinionated, but polite and logical, reply, and have asked if I want to contribute.

Dougal> Engage cynical mode - automated responses?

I can vouch for the fact that the research in question is a real person, and is interested in getting a balanced view of the story.

I'm optimistic, given the number of responses they'll have received from here and several other forums, there will be a few intelligent, articulate individuals who have 4x4s for a reason to get on there and make a point or two.

Part of the cat is now also in the works Megane. The remainder ricocheted nicely and is no longer in Sussex.
