I did see it and at first I thought it was being presented by Jo Brand (John Sargeant must be her brother as they look so similar to me!).

I thought it was blatant propaganda on the side of the PC brigade. This is meant to be a free country, but in reality it's turning into a joke with all this PC pink fluffy dice. People should be able to drive what they want - there's no law to say people can't drive a 4x4 in urban areas.
I thought John Sargeant came accross as an arrogant, pompous git. What business is it of his what cars people are driving?
Can't believe that people really are so naive to think that driving a 4x4 harms the environment so much more than a small engined car. Personally I'd drive one just to annoy those anti-4x4 campaigners!

all this PC pink fluffy dice.
Utterly brilliant. :^D
{Even better now that I've edited it. Fortunately I'm in a good mood, otherwise I would have just trashed it, and all the replies that quoted it. DD}

missed the start but two things about it were a bit off for me - when they were trying to sell him a car, why a big american monstrosity and not the typical x5 or xc90? Also, when they gave the woman another car to try it was a honda accord and i am sure it had two exhausts. Which would make it the 2.4 like mine which emits quite a high number of carbons itself.
watched it as entertainment and quite enjoyed it. Did find her reaction to being told her car would not be best for a child to be hit amusing. had she not thought about that before?
Would be interested to see the t-bone accident using modern cars rather than older models.

Yes, superb! With that kind of writing talent you could get a job at The Sun.

It was the irony rather than the actual literary skill I was referring to. ;o)

Make sure it's a Cayenne, and I'll get some tattoos and drive around in it with you holding a baseball bat. I completely agree. I'll even chip in for say 25 per cent of the petrol.

Chrome? That's for American pansies. Black forged iron chains Aprilia. For dogs and other captives.

I thought that much of this had "journalistic licence" to the extent I switched off after the T-boning incident.
The test with the LandCruiser and the kids standing behind it? The same rule could be applied to any commercial vehicle that has no rear view access, a bus, a minibus as well.
Then the t-boning where they deliberately used an old car with probably no side impact protection and hitting it at 60mph! Lets face it, did that prove anything? If a motorbike hit a car side on at 60mph it would probably do it severe damage, both between the bike and then the motorcyclist going through the window!
So at that point I switched off and went to compare specs of CR-Vs and X-Trails!

Blimey, I didn't know you were a millionaire.

Can someone settle an argument with me?
There were FOUR drivers of four by fours last night.
1. The girl with the Jeep
2. The chap who bought a 4x4 to counteract London's roads
3. The chap with the blue neon underlit monstrosity
and
4. The partner of the driving instructor. He drove a Range Rover Sport, she drove the Mini.
Am I right, or as I'm being told, was the chap who drove the blue neon light monstrosity the same chap who owned and drove the Range Rover?

I thought it was quite a well balaced programme. It certainly is the case that the anti 4x4 brush is indescriminate since there are many smaller versions (particularly diesel) that are about as economical as a car. Howerver, it was also quite good to witness the nauseating ignorance of some of the people that drive these wretched things entirely on tarmac.
And the woman driving for four hours a day. Only road pricing will stop this nonsense.
