@SchtroumpfLily @ctwill6 @RespectfulMemes Yep and yep, my horsey other half has said that it’s common in older horses that might struggle to get back up from having been laid down

@FuckCarsReddit @Wankpanzer Sadly public transport isn’t an option for me currently, as my shift work requires me to leave my house at 4 in the morning and trains or buses simply aren’t running at that time. I dream of the day when I can find a job closer to home and cycle there and back though

Christmas reinforces the fact that not having kids is mint and I never want kids

@bunsenbernerbmd On the left, our Spaniel who had 1 eye and on the right our Border Terrier who had a leg amputated because of cancer, both with enormous hearts. Sadly both have gone over the rainbow bridge and I miss them every day

We would love to see the shoutouts for pets that have an injuries or amputations. They always try their best and I think Twitter should see them! Let's go!

@dan710ths Proper smoothbrain activity to enjoy fireworks, we had to rush a pony into emergency surgery last year after being spooked by fireworks

Here we go again. Nonstop fireworks in every direction. No escape for the millions of terrified cats and dogs, wild animals and birds. Such a selfish and pathetic form of mindless ‘entertainment’. Can’t wait for this nonsense to be banned.

@Wankpanzer An estate car would do exactly the same job, for cheaper 🤷

@twlch63 @WalesOnline This ^ 20mph and my Skoda is doing 1400rpm in the lowest gear possible so as to not stall, but at 30mph, also in the lowest possible gear, I’m doing around 1050rpm

@WalesOnline They didn’t poll me, in 2nd gear at 20MPH I have high revs, burning more fuel , more emissions and could damage my engine, 12mile round trip doing 20 mph every opportunity I do more than that to get into 3rd gear , 10 mph in 2nd gear is ok but that is a no no

@Thecarhoarder Just to add onto your point about 450 being useless as a personal street vehicle…. I strongly believe that anything over 200 brake (in the UK anyway) should require a further driving assessment, which would certainly cut down on 17 year olds crashing obscenely powerful cars

@AldiUK I think Annie could be the face of the rescue category, found as a stray in Lancashire incredibly underweight and nervous, now she’s a healthy weight and much calmer (unless you’re a cat, rabbit, squirrel, or horse)

@Carpervert I generally have more respect for someone with an estate versus someone with an SUV. You’ll never see an XC70 being driven like a twat, unlike newer Rangies and Touregs (which I suspect have been adopted by the 500 and Adam crowd)

Shall we? Read the thread. I think it's important to really prompt people into thinking hard about what cars they buy, and what cars suit them. I want to help reduce SUV consumption, largely because they do so few things well, and have basically reversed automotive evolution.

@Carpervert @thealexbear @Chris_Pickering I’m up for a YT debate 😀

@TK42138 @v8oholic I live in North Wales, haven’t visited London since I was a wee lad, maybe 20+ years now, and had a letter through advising that I couldn’t take my Shogun Sport into London…. Waste of paper much?

@v8oholic That was my first thought when I got the letter but I've never shown photos or video of my Rover with the vehicle reg on display. It's been sitting in my garage for 8 years on SORN and even when it was in use, the car never went near London. Have contacted TfL. Awaiting a reply.

Considering we live 75 miles from London, haven't visited London, haven't driven in London (Rover GTi has been SORN'd for over 8 years), I find it strange that TfL have sent out this letter advising us that our 1992 Rover 216 GTi won't be ULEZ compliant for the expanded zone.

@yshahar The only thing my Superb estate can’t do that an SUV can do is tow heavier loads and be better off-road. And since I tow infrequently and never need to go greenlaning on my way to work, I’d say the estate trumps the SUV

@Bishop0151 @climbtechy @yshahar If you’re using the chance of getting into a pile up as the basis for buying an SUV, why not go the whole hog and buy a tank? You’ll definitely survive a pile up in one of those!

@climbtechy @yshahar The likelihood of me being in a car crushing multi vehicle pile up are slim to none. I'm not buying a vehicle based on that unlikely event. Bells and whistles for lazy drivers come in small cars. Electric isn't viable for many now & you don't need electric to use the motorway.

A rainy trip to Llangollen today for some lunch, topped off by a picturesque drive along the Horseshoe Pass.

@david_mccraw Why the hell would you want to go over 60 in an SUV anyway? The Jeep we have (which I hate, by the way) feels incredibly unstable at that speed! Plus you can definitely fit as much stuff in an estate (like my Superb) and you won’t look like a raging bellend
