Really glad I don’t live in London.

Me too, detest the place,

Really, are you omnipresent then?

He once claimed to "omnipotent", but it turned out to be a typo.

. She had one of those diddy two seater things. I can't remember what they're called.

They're called sensible....

 

[Fab Foodie]

Or for that matter why these types of vehicle are even being produced.

This^^^
Electric versions now coming c...the aerodynamics of a brick married to the weight of a small house, it seems stupid to me to build this in electric format. Aerodynamics and low weight will save the planet faster than ego and prestige.

That depends on what they are being used for? I very much doubt they are sensible to try to tow our horse trailer with, that is apart from it being illegal, but then again we don't live in the centre of the universe

Electric is not the answer, if anything it's a distraction.

And playing about with tyres on peoples vehicles , the only contact with the road is trivial as well ? Really , why don’t they just cut the brake pipes whilst in there ?

Not likely to win hearts and minds, is it?

As a side note my current estate car has a larger footprint than my old 4x4.

My car leaves tyre tracks not footprints?

This is the point that righteous people will never understand, it’s also the time I leave them to their speculation.

Interesting that you use "righteous" to imply negative aspects. May say a lot about you, but I'm only speculating ...

 

[Roseland triker]

This still going?
Has anyone caught an offender tampering with a car yet?

For a first responder (paramedic) in Central London - that was the context in which it was mentioned. No mention of horses at all.

Of course, but the point is that many people have cars far larger/powerful than they really need.

Coarser or larger tires than normal

Interesting description. Saw a blinged Range Rover recently with very low profile tyres with a tread that wouldn't be out of place in Formula One - !
