Nah don't like old cars much

Why do I think people who drive 4x4s are fatties?
What I want to see is small parking spaces near the supermarket door and wide parking spaces at the far end of the car park. If you park in a small space and don't leave a foot of room each side you get yer headlights smashed.
Put the wider spaces on the top floor of the carparks and make the lifts stop two floors below. Again if they park lower down smash their headlights.
Make them sweat a bit getting to and from their tractors and maybe they will lose some weight.
And tax the heck out of them.

well landcruisers are pretty big, but they are narrower than a bmw 7 series. 1885 mm as opposed to 1905 mm.
but you claimed you needed the extra room a landcruiser gave you to fit 3 children in.....i fitted 3 children in a clio...
my parents got four of us kids in the back of an mgb. Don't think that would be allowed nowadays mind.
Ridiculous to claim 4x4 s are not wider than normal cars.
Anyway, if you leave a foot each side you would be ok. Maybe it should be 18 inches. I'll change the distance to whatever it takes to make them walk.

Probably because they were able to get to the shops when the snow appeared, while everyone else was sliding around, mounting kerbs and being preoccupied with the width of other people's cars.
With the minimal amount of snow we've seen the past week that's more to do with the tyres than the drive train.
Give me an AWD subie over a 4x4 when it comes to snow. Unless the snow is very deep, then something with better clearance like a Land Cruiser does come into its own. But you don't get that sort of snow in the UK, if you did the roads would be blocked anyway.
My AWD subie with proper winter tyres never failed to get over a snowy hill. That includes (over a ten year period) multiple crossings of the I70 over the Eisenhower pass in the middle of winter storms, and similar over Donner Pass on the I80 at Truckee. Those of course were reasonably well cleared, places like Rabbit Ears pass were less so but it still cruised on over with hardly any problem when it was a blizzard out.
Only time it came a cropper was when I couldn't see past the end of the bonnet and ended up in a snowdrift. Just reversed out.
I'd pass multiple 4WDs stuck. But probably a lot to do with lack of driving technique or sheer fear.
4x4 more to do with penis size (or lack of) than anything to do with snow driving ability. And to be honest, the vast vast majority of people in the UK have never seen proper snowy roads, and don't have the experience to comment. In fact crossing those passes, for me, was less of a challenge than it was for you driving down to the shops to get your pint of milk.

The old boy reckons it doesn't mattter when your inside it.
He's 85 next year so he ain't exactly browsing the XF catalogue. Actually, his car is 15 years old, not 12. It's V-reg and he has had it from new. Been a good motor…never missed a beat. Sadly, he may not be the only one. Well, er…a Ford S-max, actually. Don’t ask. Quite simpy the sort of vehicle one orders before donating one's organs to science. Ho hum.

I don't think lady Di like subaru drivers, possibly one of the ugliest chav cars ever built.
