Take The Red Pill	Apr 28 2008 3:11 PM Hey, hi from a small glitch in the matrix (just outside northampton) & thanks for connecting. We hope you'll enjoy Take the Red Pill, maybe 'The Petrolheads Have Taken Over The Asylum' in the Society section. We'd love you to register on the site and let us know what you think. Respect! Redpillboy.
Spurious Bile	Apr 28 2008 10:04 AM There's a clue in the name - 'urban'. They, like the rest of us, want to stop the use of 'urban' 4x4s. No-one is suggesting that all SUVs should be banned, just their needless use in cities. Surely no-one can reasonably argue that they need such a huge, high-powered vehicle for taking their kids to school or driving to work and the supermarket.
Rusty Rott, The "110" Playboy	Apr 9 2008 6:09 AM Love the pathetic comments from Eat the Rich. once you get rid of all the 4x4's in Devon and Cornwall, i'll consider getting rid of mine. Just one question.... What vehicles will you use on the farms? What vehicles will you use for search and rescue? What vehicles will you use in bad weather? Go on, get rid of all the RNLI, Coastguard, Surf Rescue, Mountain Rescue etc, Give them all smart cars? Stick to playing music till you understand waht getting rid of 4X4's means.
Wout	Jan 29 2008 11:36 AM Keep up the good work! peace, Wout.
Snow Angels	Nov 22 2007 11:15 AM I see what you mean! spotted this specimen in my town, owner was a young mum with no visible disability or sticker on car, she gave me a mouthful for taking this pic!
Sam	Jul 19 2007 3:27 PM Thanks for the reply When looking at carbon (and every other pollutant involved in manufacturing and using a car), one has to take into account the overall manufacturing 'costs', not just what goes into the car itself. The raw materials must be mined, melted, processed, shipped, melted, moulded, shaped, and assembled- the sheer power used in tis process is astronomical, as the raw materials can often be mined thousands of miles from where they are processed, which can be thousands of miles from where the car is assembled. And the car still hasnt got to Britain. I'd be interested to know where you got the 85/15% statistic from, I wonder if any researched has been done recently into the carbon footprint of a car and how it's broken down. My point was, it really isn't as simple as buying a new car, as it often isn't the best overall option. Sam ----------------- Original Message ----------------- From: Stop Urban 4x4s Date: 19 Jul 2007, 10:34 Cheers Sam It's a common question / response. My personal feeling is it's better to choose the new car, as it will have updated pollution controls, better safety equipment inside and hopefully be more safely built for pedestrians as well, and I would expect it to be more fuel efficient. In terms of the manufacture and disposal issue, the carbon from those processes only account for 15 % of the life cycle. 85% comes from the driving of the car. So the old Landie Defenders are not very fuel efficient unless they are converted to run on chippy oil or LPG. And they are not really that safe unless used off road or on the farm. Hope that helps Blake
Eat The Rich	Jul 18 2007 10:53 AM Sam - try and buy a 15 year old car that's not a 4x4!
Sam	Jul 16 2007 2:47 PM Evening. First of all, I'd like to say I understand completely your view that 4x4s are dangerous for everyone not inside them. Secondly, I'd like to ask, on the pollution side of things (you've probably heard this before a million times); is it better to own an old 4x4 (say a 15 year old land rover defender) and not buy a new car, therefore not polluting through the manufacture of the new car and disposal of the old car, or is it better to scrap the old 4x4 and buy a new car (say a ford focus), polluting by manufacturing a new car and disposing of the old car, but having a car that pollutes less during use, and is safer for all?.. If that makes sense.. Thanks Sam
Eat The Rich	Jul 10 2007 4:46 PM I have rarely read such lame tosh as the comment below. Nothing demands a hefty power vehicle except, to quote from our song, "your ego and your second-hand dreams". And at least recognise that most nutters driving around the roads are driving 4x4s! You talk about feeling safe but it's only for the person driving the car - everyone else is in real danger from these urban tanks. They don't stop quickly and they're so armoured they induce feelings of invincibility in the driver. Face it - a 4x4/SUV is the ultimate F**K YOU car.
KRADAMS	Jul 3 2007 3:50 AM how can you harrass drivers on the roads simply for drivin an SUV? and realisticly most industries would suffer greatly if 4x4's were taken of the roads range rover is one of the last british car manufacturers and you are quite happy to spoil the companys reputation and harm their image. Lets imagine a crash between say a smart car and lets just say a monstrous supercharged porsche cayenne turbo which car would you rather be in then ? ppl drive 4x4's because they liek to feel safe and the way in which ppl drive on roads in britain today demands a hefty powerful vehicle. here is a short list of monstrous , gaz guzzling planet killing , ozone-layer ripping SUV's that you should consider fearing in the future RR vogue , RR sport ,lincoln navigator , HUMMER H1 AND 2 , cadillac escalade , bowler wildcat , bowler nemesis.

SeizeTheNight	May 19 2007 10:59 AM I hear the mud wash clip was on BBC2 recently - someone at work mentioned they saw me on TV but couldn't remember what the programme was. I hope it was showing the alliance's action in a good light :)
attentat floral	May 12 2007 5:36 AM YEAH!! merci pour m'avoir accepte dans vos amis. F**k 4x4! PEACE'n'FLOWERS
Jacob¹²³ⁿ	Apr 28 2007 5:22 AM Ha! They don't like having the car parking tickets... I'm going to do it more and more now I know they don't like it.

Simon	Jan 17 2007 2:18 PM NOTE TO FAKE PARKING TICKET USERS: Not only do these work on strangers 4x4s, but also as an hilarious prank on your uncle who just bought a Volkwagen Cayene or whatever you call it, when he visits.
Evel Knievel	Dec 24 2006 9:56 AM “Phil and I just had another kid. So of course we need a bigger SUV. Being a mom is hard, with soccer, football and lacrosse practice, so we bought the new Maibatsu Monstrosity. It’s so big… we lost little Joey in the back and couldn’t find him for and hour! When I’m rushing to the mall, or talking on my cell phone, I know me and my family are safe. The Maibatsu Monstrosity has 4-wheel drive, and in amphibious mode…it can cross rivers. So far I’ve only hit a few puddles, but it’s good to know it’s there. With the time I save taking shortcuts through the strip-mall parking lot I can focus on the important things. Like gazing longingly at the pool boy or…buying more exercise equipment off the TV. So what if it gets 3 miles to the gallon!? I’m a mom, not a conservationist!” “The new Maibatsu Monstrosity… mine’s bigger!!” From GTA 3
Eat The Rich	Dec 9 2006 1:44 PM Nice one guys - we're right with you with our song Bull Bars! I was delighted to hear that the bottom is dropping out of the market for 4x4s! Delightful. Subvert & Survive Eat The Rich
