I live in London. I drive to work every day in the centre of town. I used to have a gorgeous 2 door sports jobbie. Binned it. Looked around at conditions on the roads, the £500 bill every time I hit a kerb. The huge potholes that buckled the alloys. The untaxed, uninsured immigrants, asylum seekers and general underclass drivers who would clip your wing and bugger off. The "speed" bumps that grab your spoiler and whack your undercarriage. The scum sucking toerags who have no common courtesy and zip down the right turn lane and try and cut in on you. The total lack of respect for the basic unwritten rules of driving.
The (bendy) Bus drivers who "pretend" not to see you, they are in a class all of their own.
After much thought and discussion I decided that a big 4x4 is the answer. A year later... how right i am.
Potholes? Pah
Kerbs? Pah
Speed bumps? Pah
Uninsured? Scum Sucking Toe Rags? Pah .. I am much bigger and they cant damage me, they have tried, I have given them a little "bump". I stop in front of them. They go apopleptic, I laugh. I am the enforcer.
Bus Drivers? Pah... look them in the eye and they back off.
I use less go juice (diesel now) than my sportster, I ride higher, I can see into peoples cars, I am fearless, I am indestructible.
I am safe and I love it.
Quite simply it is the perfect conveyance for London.
