They can stick stickers on my car, call me a pr**k, egg my house, say i'm killing kids and puppys, vandalise my car etc, but until I stop driving I'll always be in a 4x4s. Some funny comments people have wrote.

I Like your signature as well Paul

TBH I don't see any reason for anybody living in the sunny inner city "villages" that think they are rural idyles needing a Defender, but there you go it's a free country and we can (at the moment) drive what we like. Blimey it's just as well I live out in the sticks seeing as I own 2 4x4's and am single............... even then I find it difficult to justify owning them because for 95% of the year I could manage just as well in a Honda CRZ (no not a CRV, they are the spawn of the devil!) or an Audi TT Tdi (except neither of them can tow my small trailer or get a roofrack on the top!) but I don't want to be seen ever driving a Prius. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

I had this on the rear of my fully kitted out (snorkel, MTR's, Winch, A-Bar etc) D3

Adding on to that I too could manage with maybe a BMW 5 series but we own horses so have to tow a horse box and also need a big boot for... things. I don't live in the country really (about a mile from Perth) but the main road to there in the winter doesn't get cleared very well and I have to drive every day, so a 4x4 is really my best choice (wife in the same boat) plus It's my choice. My money and I'll spend it how I like. What I'd like them to do is put them on the Queen's FFRR, execution may become legal again.

If I parked my RR SC and my Aston V8 side by side, which one do you think they would put a sticker on??

Either the RR or both, but I would guess the RR and leave the Aston alone, although it produces more CO2. Anyway, I would love that number plate, I'm going to look on the DVLC website right now.... Current MY2020
Gone: 1 x L405 and 2 x L322's

Tried to post some facts on there site about car sizes and emissions no shock the post was declined by the website admin ! Far to many gone...

If I ever saw anyone trying to stick something like that on my car, CO2 would not be the only thing that kills. Maggots.

(wife thinks I'm nuts - prob right, too)

Who gives a f**k if you live in the sticks or not, i live on the edge of London, underground zone 6, so if i drive one way its OK and if i drive the other its wrong. I dont need an excuse to drive a range rover, i drive one because i want to and dont give a f**K what anyone else thinks. 2004 black Vogue TD6

Makes me want that "Greenpeace approved" sticker even more now. I'm pretty sure there's the square root of all difference these so called 'climate change' activists can do about the whole situation anyway.

People shouldn't have to justify why they own and drive a certain type of car, regardless of where they live, it's their decision. Scapegoat springs to mind. I bet 130g/km RR Evoque's will still get targeted, just because they're a Land Rover.

I honestly don't know what I would do if I saw anyone so much as touch my car never mind sticking stickers on it without my consent. I think I would have a difficult court case on my hands. 2006 Mercedes CLS

Green eye.... I don't know about the peace bit.

They can kiss my arse. I've kept cars on the road way past when they would otherwise have been in the crusher. My present 110 is 21 years young this year.. how many freakin euroboxes will last that long. Last series I had was 42 years old when I let it go. And its acceptable to scrap cars at 10 years old? Get a grip greenies! 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS

Well personally they've pushed me over the edge, now I'm determined to trade up from my 4.4 LPG to a supercharged.

My mission for this week will be to fill up the car with petrol, ignore the lpg, and use the petrol as quickly as possible on pointless journeys just for the hell of it!

As Clarkson said, the Range Rover gives you a nice warm feeling inside that you're really upsetting the beardy eco-mentalists! Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

It is now a proven fact that 99% of hybrids and socalled "eco" cars are actually more harmful to the ecology when you take them from a slab of steel or composite through to the crusher. My Defender is 15 years old, it has had one new battery in that time - a Prius would be at the end of it's second set of much more polluting Nickel Hydride batteries in that time and while all the ecos go on about zero emissions from electric cars they carefully forget to mention how much pollutant is produced to make the electricty (because none of the ecos want any more "clean" nuclear powerstations built either) they have to have to run on. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
