Look out Land Rover..

Hoot - wonder what the AWD die-hards would think if you turned up on that.

Given that it can only stay upright if it has grip, I reckon they'd watch with anticipation until you face-plant into the muck!

neat. wonder if they've actually sold any?

I don't think the latest models are actually on sale yet, they've just updated their range. Not that I'm in the market for one of course, I'd like to play with one but not actually buy one.

Well at least it wont x-axle

I wonder what the Ramblers will say about that? :-)

Could be interesting!

They'll claim it makes a sound like a low-flying jet, which is apparently what 4x4s do! Nothing like a good bit of over-emotional exaggeration eh ;-)

Would that be the same idiots who cross other people's land and forget to close gates?

Not to mention letting dogs off the leads..

Not that we're generalising or anything ;-)

I've ceased giving a flying f*ck what the bobble-hat bearing, bigoted bastards think.

I do think there's something ironic about this, though...

Yep, the police use 'em to zip about at Detroit airport. :-)

If you've ever had to remove a tyre to repair the inner tube on a tractor or farm implement that has been used anywhere near a footpath frequented by dog-walking morons then you'll know why farmers are less than dog (and owner) friendly. Unfortunately tractor tyres don't just get covered in mud and cow shit.

I think I'll just stick to my all terrain sandals :)

Oh go on, tell us how you *really* feel. :-D

Weirdest sight of my recent holiday was a group of 15-20 Japanese tourists zooming about mediaeval Siena on matching Segways, following a guide on a Segway with a flag in the air. They just cruised noiselessly across the square - looked a bit SF, to be honest.

Yeah, we're (Sheffield) now a focal point for Japanese students - and I'm awaiting the influx of Segways here. Actually thought about opening a hire business for them... Trouble is, Sheffield is built on

7 (substantial) hills, and the Seggy (so I'm told is its common usage) simply wouldn't be up to it...
