From: Turk182 on 7 Jan 2010 16:37 The man who denied dying soldiers their helicopters, Gordon Brown, has also been a key figure in the demonisation of four wheel drive owners in the UK. How typical; on my local radio station there are now appeals being made for anyone with four wheel drive vehicles to contact support agencies and in some cases, ambulance stations, who are finding they are unable to get assistance to old people and the injured in rural areas. If anyone hid their four wheel drive, rather than be victim to the government hate campaign, could you now bring your vehicle out of hiding - you country needs 4WDs'. Come to think of it - we're short of everything except debt! Turk182

Yes indeedy. For the first time in 30 years there is, at last, some valid use for these monstrosities! Kev

There isnt a hill or path my monster has not being able to get up with ease. I have practically pissed myself laughing at bmws and mercs, with their rear wheel drive.... The great thing with the four wheel drive, the chunky tyres and the extra traction, is the fun you have when you lose a bit of grip and the vehicle starts to slide, as it begins to slip away, you gently tap the accelerator, and its as if someone put steel spikes into the ground, as it immediatly gets control and traction and its off, as if you were driving on a rubber track.

Yes - for at least two days a year in a normal winter they'll certainly prove their worth... Kev
