I could show a list of reasons why my RRS is greener than some of their cars. Expected life of car, built in UK etc etc. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

All they would see would be Range Rover.........................and they all do 12mpg you know, and then you get a mountain of flack. They wouldn't see it as a TDv6 that does 26-30mpg and has a lower lifetime carbon/ environmental footprint than a Prius. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim is correct about the lifetime 'Dust to dust' enviromental impact of RRS vs Prius.

I had an arguement with one of Mrs ST's cousins about this. He is a potato skin shoe wearing ageing hippie driving a clapped out 2CV (Surely not enviromentally friendly!!!).

Would not believe a word i was saying.
