We used to buy old Land / Range Rovers, Austin Scamps, etc. and then drive them along public bridleways. The best one we ever found went straight through a golf course and they couldn't do a thing about it. Hilarious watching the golfers with beetroot red faces watching us chew up their sacred turf

Used to car rally with the local motor club up to national level. The problem with the UK is that we have the least common land to use and few unmade roads. We used to call the white road as per the OS maps. Even some of the road that I used to practice are closed off. The only suitable 4x4 for off road in the UK are the small lightweight ones such as the Vitara. There are too many ******* who use their oversized 4x4 just to churn up the road and get muddy. There is no skill involved in that.

The best off road events are in Russia and their team regularly wins a class in the Paris Daker rally.

I also watched the Russian 4x4 championships on RTR Planete TV, it was really great.

You can NOT drive on bridleways, you can ride a horse or a bicycle,
but not a motorised vehicle.

Agreed.

Sick of 'off road' vehicles churning up footpaths and bridleways in my manor.

If you want to enjoy the countryside, then park, and get out and walk (with boots on) you idiots.

In a more libertarian environment, I could happily shotgun towny morons in their shiny 4x4s who think it's their God-given right to churn up ancient pathways in their God-given right of 'recreation'.

Bastards!

Going to buy an old WWII tank with my neighbour and blast the 4x4 cretins out of it on a Sunday morning.

Now GET ORF MY LAND!

Why everybody who buys a 4x4 need to be a professional off-road driver?

In my area there are a lot of rural and mountain roads where a 4x4 would be quite handy. That is without the need to do professional off-road, just to have a bit more safety and enjoy nature where possible. Plus there are quite a lot of hybrid models nowadays that do not force you to spend a fortune on petrol and handle the road as well as a normal car. Most of them are also as polluting as medium-sized cars so all this hate from some posters is a little unfair in my view.

This was over 25 years ago and we lived in the country. This was done to piss off the ******* who came and bought all the properties in the area making it difficult for us. Golf courses are the death of the countryside but the making of chav culture
