Another 4x4 rant

Now that the schools have broken up and the roads around our house are mercifully free of the damned Chelsea tractors for at least 6 weeks, I can afford the slight rise in blood pressure to write about my reaction to a recent Mitsubishi advert.

Apparently one of their tanks has the lowest CO2 emissions of any 7-seater 4x4. Wow. Big deal. Still worse than a regular car though eh? How many of you really *need* 7 seats? How many of you benefit from (or even know how to engage) the 4-wheel drive?

Wankers.

We sell lots of these things. For some reason. It seems like people like the fact that they have it blazened on the flanks of the vehicle more than they need the function, or have a use for it. Indeed, if and when they truly need it, they usually find it doesn't work, or they expect it to be something magical that takes the place of thought when some situations arise.
When the snow comes here, you can fully expect to see a whole bunch of 4 by 4's in the ditch!
