PigfaceFree MemberPosted 14 years ago
Drove into work today bit tricky but no major dramas on narrow snow covered lanes. That is untill the cocks with 4×4's come the other way. Sat in the middle of the road doing 40mph thinking they are invincible. That would be you in the Navarra, that would be you in the Discovery that would be you in the Freelander you f*ckin co*kjockeys. Sadly all but one were women and seemed to be be clueless as to what to do or even slow down. Anyway made it and am now bored at work, hence the post.
nonkFree MemberPosted 14 years agoi like all the wrong side of the road stuff that they do when the rest of us just wait in line.
didnt know it was allowed when it snows.stevenmenmuirFree MemberPosted 14 years agoWoman broke down in our road this morning so the guy coming down towards her decided the best course of action was to swear at her and ask why she hadn't pulled over before she broke down 🙄 There was lots of swearing back and forth and the bloke did sod all to actually help. Think there'll be more of this before it warms up.
CaptainFlashheartFree MemberPosted 14 years agoCan we please rename this place Whiningabout4x4sinthesnowtrackworld instead?
pslingFree MemberPosted 14 years agoSounds like it's lucky that you're a good enough driver to have got out of their way.
mrmichaelwrightFree MemberPosted 14 years agoi've had the opposite, driving over the snake pass before christmas i was constantly held up by timid drivers in 4x4s driving too slowly.
in a 2wd car they need to understand that momentum is my friend and when they stop on an uphill corner or mince downhill i'm going to get stuck or smash into the back of them
but i've had far more trouble with people in normal cars so not going to tar them all with the same brush
basically eberybody on the road is shit except me
amediasFree MemberPosted 14 years agowell then you'll be happy to know that my (proper) 4×4 is still parked where it was 5 days ago, because despite the fact it can cope with sh1te weather I don't deem any of my journey's worth the risk.
Bike works fine 😉
SmeeFree MemberPosted 14 years agoDont get me started on the **** retards that think its acceptable to sit on your bumper on a white road. **** imbeciles – they dont even take the hint when you stop to let them passed – they just **** sit there with a dumb look on their fat **** faces.
mastiles_fanylionFree MemberPosted 14 years agothey dont even take the hint when you stop to let them passed
But I thought you…
tronFree MemberPosted 14 years agoWhen there's someone tailgating me in the snow, I pull in at the next junction, do a quick U turn and pull out behind them. Saves all the stress and aggro of having them behind you, and you get to do a quick handbrake turn 😆
waynekerrFree MemberPosted 14 years agoPigface, did your wife give you a knock back last night then, or is it just jealousy that you do not own a 4×4?
johnnersFree MemberPosted 14 years agoCan we please rename this place Whiningabout4x4sinthesnowtrackworld instead?
No, but you'll have my full support if you want to rename it "whining abouteverybastardthingtrackworld" or even "itsallgordonbrownsfaultalwaystrackworld".
mrmichaelwrightFree MemberPosted 14 years ago"itsallgordonbrownsfaultalwaystrackworld".
WRONG
thatcher's fault innit
waynekerrFree MemberPosted 14 years agoYou not fussy then?
My wife's so ugly I can only take her out once a year, Halloween.trailmonkeyFull MemberPosted 14 years agoThe peace of mind that I experience whilst travelling around safely in my 4×4 allows me the space to reflect on the joys of owning what some are clearly envious of, of slowly killing polar bears, of watching less successful people struggle and of driving 1 metre from the back of nervous looking people who can't wait to get home and fill the internets with tales of evil Landrovers.
Marvelous.
hitmanFree MemberPosted 14 years ago4×4 drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
You should see it around here – unbelievable driving!
Out at 6.0am and some people are driving without their lights on, others tailgating ridiculously close!!
Guy drove around the corner of a road so fast he span off and did a 360 degree power slide and almost rolled the car.
I'm staying in and going out on my bike offroad away from the idiots 🙂amediasFree MemberPosted 14 years agoinstead of all this:
4×4 drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
non 4×4 drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
BMW drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
audi drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
RWD drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
young drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
old drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
red car drivers = f**kwits shocker !!
blue car drivers = f**kwits shocker !!can we agree to just settle on:
*some* people = f**kwits
others, not so much…molgripsFree MemberPosted 14 years agoor mince downhill i'm going to get stuck or smash into the back of them
4×4 means more braking and cornering grip, does it?
ooOOooFree MemberPosted 14 years agoHey good luck to them, at least for 1 week a year they can feel smug. Probably makes up for 51 weeks of feeling awkward & self-concious.
thehustlerFree MemberPosted 14 years agoI love the 4×4 haters, here are a few good reasons why i drive a navara
1. i can go biking get the bike dirty as **** and chuck it straight in the back without worrying about getting car dirty
2. in the summer i go camping alot and get to leave most of gear in car all summer to just get in and go, not constantly packing and unpacking.
3. when the weather is shite like now I get to take the back lanes home and leave the main routes clear for all the 2wheel drivers(and still beat them there)
4 If your really knew what you were talking about you would realise my diesel navara is far more fuel efficient than most 2ltr rep mobiles so it actually does some good too.
mrmichaelwrightFree MemberPosted 14 years ago4 If your really knew what you were talking about you would realise my diesel navara is far more fuel efficient than most 2ltr rep mobiles so it actually does some good too.
i'd like to see THOSE figures 😯
thehustlerFree MemberPosted 14 years agoI get about 38 to the gallon all cycles, wife drives a 2 ltr primera on similar journeys that returns no where near as good consumption, on a run I get 45+
horaFree MemberPosted 14 years agoI drive a all wheel drive car. Love the way it pulls into and around roundabouts and it offers great traction when you use the throttle and steering calmly. Blame the driver, not the car.
mrmichaelwrightFree MemberPosted 14 years agoyour wife must have a right foot the size of a navy destroyer then 🙂
falkirk-markFull MemberPosted 14 years agoMost 2ltr rep mobiles are diesels now and get 45 plus per gallon
thehustlerFree MemberPosted 14 years agosoo…if the rep mobiles are only returning similar figures and mine is far more practical who's the donut here?
aPFree MemberPosted 14 years agoYou must have a specially special noncerama
Economy ~ manufacturers figures
Urban 23.9 mpg
Extra Urban 32.8 mpg
Combined 28.8 mpgThe Primera had rubbish fuel economy even when it was new, so I don't really think that its hard to better it.
oldgitFree MemberPosted 14 years agoMe to mcboo. Seems some people think that 4X4 drive gives you 4X4 stopping. You still have to drive well, hit the brakes in a 4X4 and your suddenly in control of a two ton sledge.
I learnt alot about driving 4X4s in the Army, probably learnt a bit more when the instructors weren't watching 😛 and I learnt some great tips when I did a basic course so I could drive my company 4X4 in a certain companies sitesthehustlerFree MemberPosted 14 years agobest tip on driving a 4×4 if the conditions are really bad, let the car do the work, engine braking is very underrated in bad conditions
trail_ratFree MemberPosted 14 years agoi also did 4×4 course – dont own a 4×4 but alot of what you learn RE traction and slowing down off road applies even in your 2WD FWD car …
You still have to drive well, hit the brakes in a 4X4 and your suddenly NOT in control of a two ton sledge.
horaFree MemberPosted 14 years agobest tip on driving a 4×4 if the conditions are really bad, let the car do the work, engine braking is very underrated in bad conditions
Agree. Stay away from the brakes as much as possible- even a short stab would unsettle the car.
In general a smoother driver makes for better mpg anyway and my sis-in-law said a few weekends ago after she glanced at the speedo as she thought we were doing 50/felt slow and not the indicated 80 on the clock. That, I felt was a huge compliment 😀
oldgitFree MemberPosted 14 years agoBeen teaching my little girl how to drive the Landrover on an old dissused airfield (with permision) we can push it to the limit safely. I'm hoping she will learn what you can and can't do in a 4X4, and not be either over cautious or take risks.
Seen some people who I must assume are lucky idiots. Tanking up to roundabouts on snow and ice assuming they won't have to stop seems a common one.scaredypantsFull MemberPosted 14 years agoI'm guessing it was an observation related to perceived passage of time
HansReyFull MemberPosted 14 years ago4×4 problems? Round here, theyre all pulling people out of ditches, drifts, etc. OK, the chelsea tractor lot are a pain, but don't give the Defender crew a bad rap.
saw something about a big diesel engine being more fuel efficient than a 2L petrol. That may be correct if you have decent fuel injector. For example, audi diesel engines are leagues more fuel efficient than a toyota prius, because they put some decent dielectric ceramics in. I think this is a great bit of info, great for shooting down the Prius lobby!
