4 x 4s

My wife and I live on our stud farm near Newmarket.

We have a smallish estate and a sports car. Both are pretty economical, as why be selfish and contribute to global warming.

But no expensive showy 4 x 4! In the country few people have a need for such a vehicle, preferring to use either a clapped Land Rover occasionally or a more practical tractor and trailer for moving goods about. Most 4 x 4’s seem to be owned by incomers who add little to the life of the countryside.

I also believe that cars that can’t do forty miles per gallon should be made illegal. It may seem harsh, but it would create true innovation in the motor industry.
