Tax releif on 4 by 4 vehicles

[SIRandyraven]

Now that the news is reporting that various government agency are asking for owners of 4 by 4 vehicles for help. Does that mean that this type of car is now considered essentail to keeping the country running.
Thus I expect to see tax incentives to encourage people to buy 4 by 4 cars.

Although i have a 4X4 purely as a work horse,It seems that the rich people who live somewhere south of London,
Seem to think that a 4X4 is essential as soon as they see a leaf on the road, this is the kind of behaviour that will cause road tax to be increased on these vehicles.

[logic]

OK, I'll get me coat.

do I get a road tax refund as I daren't go out in this weather?

A 4x4 is essential ...

How else can you look down on all the other motorists from the comfort of a heated leather seat the size of an armchair?

Hmm?

How else?

You see ... essential.

I think we should be Road Tax exempt.

The local council to deliver meals on wheels over the snow bound roads ...they cant afford to clear.

Mine has coped with the snow ok ...

Still better than a normal car.

Love it and converted to the high ride a 4 by 4 gives you.
Also better economy than standard car.
I average 40 to 45mpg in mine. With air con on 10% less in the summer.

I'm a convert too, SIRandy ... I love mine.

My other car is an eensy weensy little MGF, so a bit of a contrast !!

If I had to choose between the two now, I'd keep the Land Cruiser.

I have family who are in police traffic.
He drives a BMW X5 mainly. He says you can see the fuel gauge move almost ...lol
The police have quiet good cars these days ....
He gets to drive a Lexus Hybrid 4 by 4 ..
BMW 5 series and X5
Volvo Estate
they also have a
Mitsubishi Evo fast thing ....

Police Using X5?

That would explain why I saw a number of police in army Land Rovers yesterday!

X5s are probably stuck on a piece of wet grass somewhere!

My ex-police Defender's as happy as a pig in muck

My brother and his wife have two cars, a prius and a 4x4. They live in the countryside and only use the 4x4 if they're both going to work on the same day (not often), when they are actually going off-road or when it snows.
