The British are waving. The British are waving.

My title sucks, I know. It’s all I can come up with right now though. First, there was the campaign to give the finger to Hummers. Now comes a campaign to rid England of 4x4 vehicles. (Good luck trying that here.) Anyway, go their site, download a sign for your car, and wave 4x4xBye next time you see one. I mean, over there. Well, maybe here. I don’t know. This whole thing’s very British.

This entire anti 4x4 thing in Britain totally pisses me off. I hasten to add that I don't own one.
There's a wretched streak of envy in the British character that needs to be ripped out - the whole "green" thing is utter bollocks because there are far more crappy old bangers on the roads, with their higher fuel consumption and barely-past-the-test emissions, than there are spluttering 4x4s.
The only grounds for being anti-4x4 is if you struggle with congestion in towns. Fair enough, but I wish these green-eyed eejits would stop hiding behind the "environment" flag.
I do suspect that there is a plenty of middle-class envy in this and these people are just looking for an excuse to wave their Guardian-reading credentials in everyone else's faces.
I'm strongly tempted to do the Chris Eubank thing and drive an articulated lorry just for the fun of it. That'd piss off these sad little numpty bastards.

Land Rover of all brands should be most up in arms seeing as there were born there. If I were them, I’d drive a line of vehicles around waving back and handing out “My other SUV is an SUV too” bumpers stickers.

After all, wherever there are roads....
