But Landy's are a different beast aren't they. I know some folk have them in the cities and towns, but your average Landy lives in the country side.

Range Rover though ...... they're a different story :-)

Crap... I'd forgotten about the new toy Landy thing. To me a Landrover is a Defender 130!

Landrovers are the best off-roader, so they get used recreationally a lot...

Round our way there are a lot of people (a lot of Brummies) who come into the area specifically to drive off-road. They don't give a f**k about what they leave behind, or who they endanger. It really pisses me off, especially the bikers, because they go a lot faster than the 4x4 lot and make a hell of a lot of noise.

We live opposite some Common land, and the bikers come along and use it like a playground. This is already illegal (1998 Road Traffic Act I believe) but it doesn't stop them. Who's going to police it? I approached someone who was doing it during the F&M restrictions and nearly got punched for my troubles. What loverly people!
