That is actually quite witty and made me smile. I'm sure we can all take a bit of edgy banter, but there is a certain type (you see this a lot on Pistonheads) who genuinely dislikes "4x4 tanks", largely because most people who drive them don't "need" such a vehicle.
I don't "need" a FFRR; I bought it because I wanted a big, wafty, luxury, high up car. Some people can't accept that though. Although they are quite happy if you have a Porsche 911, or any Aston Martin, or a Yamaha R1, or a horse. Such people can't see beyond their own prejudices, but hey.......
Also, it's hard not to look smug when you're driving the best all-rounder in the world, and you can shop at Pike's Peak Waitrose if you wish!

I can see the window sticker now:

My wife’s old 110 expedition was always dubbed the “Sainsbury's exploration vehicle” by many of our friends... BUT! If you ever tried driving that thing on a motorway for 50+ miles! You would understand why it never went much further than the village

With all that said though, i took the day off on Friday and ferry’d NHS staff in and out of our local community hospital, some of our local GP’s to & from work and even took the chef to work at a local’s pub!

They are not always used for their true potential but as Mr Clarkson once said, “i wear a watch that is waterproof to a gazzillion meters, WHY? because i like to know if i wore it in the shower one day, it would be fine”

Brilliant Craig such a great act of community well done to you and any others who did similar snow taxi work to keep essential services running.
