Holden and the future

Really... So you're one of "those" people huh... So why should 4wds be banned????? Surely not because they are too big.... Maybe it's the bullbars they all wear! Are we talking all 4wd vehicles or just the larger Landcruiser and Patrol variants.

Damn straight I'm one of 'those' people. Roll your eyes all you want. I'm of the opinion that cities should be car free area. .. Let alone 4wd. If you can't find a bus, train or tram within the CBD... then you have issues. Don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of sitting in gridlock traffic when it's not peak hour. Not sure what the benefit of having a huge tractor like a Landcruiser is when it hardly fits in a lane.

Car free cities.... Never going to happen. Not everyone is an office worker and has the option of using public transport, I'm a tradesman and tow a trailer full of tools to work every day.... I also drive a Landcruiser wagon every day which tows the trailer for work during the week and takes us camping and 4wding on weekends and holidays.... It is not a huge tractor, it is no wider than a Holden Kingswood and no longer, just higher and fits easily in Melbourne traffic lanes.

I drove all over Melbourne for two years, 4wds are the least of your worries... It's the taxi drivers and BMW/Audi driving yuppies you have to watch out for...
I wasn't a fan of sitting in peak hour traffic going through the Burnley tunnel either but banning 4wds or any other vehicle isn't going to fix the problem, I am however sick to death of the "ban 4wd's" crap from people wrapped up in their own self interest. I drive a 4wd so I can get away from the city and its arrogant inhabitants whenever time permits.
