1. Slap a Ticket on an Urban 4x4 - 13 Mar 2007

   Theres a big difference between people who use there for 4×4 for work and those who use them as a status symbol. The area i live in is a semi-rural village, in the ‘posh area’ and there is definitely a thing about having a 4×4 for status rather than purpose, so many are mothers with only 1 child doing the school run and they never look as though they have seen mud before! i share a car with my mum – a bit difficult on occasions!!, but im a book dealer and i live in a semi rural village, so there is the occasionally hill/field and mud situation to deal with – though its only a Rover 400, it does fit in 14 large boxes of books (approx 1000 books) so sometimes i feel its poor excuse to use a 4×4 ‘because i have so much stuff to move’, my sister similarly has a Rover 400 and rides horses for a living and she manages to get everything in her car – although i would never recommend being a passenger in her car!!
