In answer to Nigel Collins (Letters, March 6) under the headline "Deadly 4x4s", I drive a large, imported American Ford Explorer 4ltr petrol 4x4, and what a beast it is.
It guzzles gas at roughly 15mpg, it has big, wide boots that can completely squash a pheasant and the front end looks like a great white shark ready to devour its next seal.
Oh, and it roars like a tiger when puttering up Lewes High Street, scaring all the retired, Greenham Common types who have nothing better to do than cycle the wrong way up one-way streets.
Oh, and if I could, I would sell it tomorrow and buy a more suitable vehicle to transport my disabled daughter in - but it would have to be robust enough to traverse the lane I live down (that's another story) and be big enough for a wheelchair and family.
But who wants a beast like I have - it seems I'm stuck with it so that means you are, too - and I won't be Druv.
