Perhaps they were running short on hot air?A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Had the D4 in for service & MOT on Monday.
Just checking the mileage, I did just 2,100 miles in a year.
Now, if I took the greenies suggestion to “go small”, what’s going to happen to my D4?
It’s not miraculously going to disappear off the face of the planet!
No, someone else is going to buy it and highly lightly cover far greater miles than I do.
(even in doing the average of 12k pa is five times more than I’m doing)
So for me, in keeping & driving my D4 I’m helping to save the planet.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it greenies ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Although not the peeling paint and stickers.
Your FFRR has peeling paint and stickers ? I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Snap. They will be glad the hosptital has a diesel generator as backup for their operation and they didn't tamper with the critical staff's tyres as well.
I expect they pick and choose what "luxury lifestyle choices" they own and make use of to suit them and conveniently ignored over the past few decades.
We are all doing our bit and these lot just irritate and don't help. Shame they never attempted to get to Johnson's or Biden's entourage, don't think they would do it again...In today's world, if you contribute something, you don't contribute enough.

The people letting down SUV tyres aren't interested in climate change. They're just going after people that they believe to be rich. That one can buy a second hand "luxury SUV" for less money than a shiny new EV seems to have passed them by.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Mildly irritating, but no more and not worth getting into a frenzy tbh.

Not sure how I would react. Probably with a loud "Boo" and then ask then how they propose to reinflate my tyre.
If I'm in a foul mood probably a game of slaps where I go first and you don't have a go as you let my tyre down. Always taught to slap to save the cost of dental. Could always portray it as taking a slap to save the environment
Only applies to males. Women would be let off with a little more than a off

I guess it depends on whether they're on their own or if there is a group of them. A pimply-faced youth on their own is going to be much easier to scare -less. Two or three of them together will embolden them.
Either way, if you get physical with them and plod gets called then you're on a sticky wicket.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I'm on a sticky wicket anyway due to my military training. My size / build doesnt help either. So more numbers is aways a better balance. That's why I'm not sure how I would react because it too easy to make a mistake and lose discpline. It can be a lose lose situation.

A fellow new Defender owner.
Well I was considering chopping my 90 in for a DS PHEV, as the used prices are stupidly high but that’s made my mind up. The 90 is staying!
