Yes i think car slob Jeremy Clarkson tried to destroy one once.He left it on Burnham beach for the tide to cover it . Tide went out and it started up. 4x4`s are great in the Afgan mountains. but not in Chelsea..

That is a very good price to pay for parking a fat guzzle machine in West Ken's living room. He should up the price into super league so they pay attention and no casual driving into zone C. Casual driving kills the ecosystem like Beeching killed your railways. Also Americans.

"But my job requires me to drive!"
You'll have to forgive me if I take into account the damage you're doing, and say "I don't give a fuck".
I am assuming you'll walk to the hospital next time you require an ambulance?

"If he wanted to do something to ease congestion and help Londoners he should get all the eastern european cars off the streets as I'm pretty sure they pay no road tax, have no British insurance, pay no congestion charge, and generally operate outside of any of our motoring laws. Mind you, I guess that's me shifting the argument with a racist statement?"
It's not a racist statement. Whilst I was on holiday, me boss took on a Bulgarian. He only had a Bulgarian Licence and has been driving around for 12 years illegally. I couldn't provide him with a vehicle (essential for his role) and had to let him go. Prior to this, I tried to get him through his test, going above and beyond by translating things into Russian for him as his reading English was poor, but he didn't manage it. Lovely fella, just not legal to drive. Judging by the amount of Police stop checks they do in NW London, he isn't the only one.

Brother Johnno - I don't drive, so I can't really comment on this from the ownership point of view. But...is it not possible to have another type of vehicle that will carry your equipment?
