It's probably fair to say that the vast majority of people I see driving
4x4s have specced the wrong vehicle for the use they needed to put it to.

That's probably true (in built up areas).
My gripe is that the anti 4x4 lobby act as if driven by jealousy rather than
real environmental concerns.

They don't need to use it to the full on *every*
journey, though, do they?

Most of them seem to be dropping the kids of at school and then going to
Sainsbug's, same as we do.
I doubt any of the 4x4s we see at St Saviours ever actually need to engage
all-wheel drive.
We're going on the Kielder Forest drive the day after it opens, and we'll be
doing that in a two-tonne Rover Sterling Lard-Barge, so if we can do that, I
doubt anyone needs a 4x4 to drop the kids off at school in Westgate-on-Sea.
