LR90 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Nice to see space being given up for a moderate view. BTW anyone knwo the CO2 emission for the Smart forfour brabus (177bhp model)? My guess is that not only is my 90 smaller but also has better emission than a smart car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 depends how you define 4x4 - I bet they are not including Toyota/ford/isuzu/etc pickups and crewcabs. I can't imagine any of them are petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems most Mitsubishi vehicles are diesel. BTW next budget the reps with 4 door pick-ups have to pay the full amount tax. A service technician was with us last week, he drives a 4 door Nissan van, crew-cab front and locked van rear. Takes wife and kids on holiday / Tesco and travels the country Mon-Fri with all the works kit in the back. His bill next April goes up to £3000 from £400. Who voted for this bl**dy shower notionally looking after our interests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only looking after their own skins in case we chuck them on the bonfire. Bit late to invite Tony and Cherie to our bash this year, will have to wait until next year and send an invite to Gordon.................

Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/6107368.stm FIRST LINE. What relavance to the story is the fact that he was driving a discovery? We don't know what car the dead driver was in so why tell us what the guilty party was dirving. Propaganda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 i read that welsh news report as driving using a fone is dangerous (we know) & your more likely to survive a crash in a disco (assuming other car was a traditional car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MJG Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/newswatch/ukfs/hi/ne...700/5324718.stmborrowed it from somewhere else Bl**dy hell had to read that twice- amazed the BBC published it on the web and even more amazed they acknowledged that they needed to be a bit more careful about the use of the term 4x4.....
