Well, it is just about off-road ! Mind you, so are the other cars next to you - come on, lets see some real off-roading (the Land Rover test track ?).
 
Ha -you call that off road????

I will be at Stratford-on-Avon for the last Bank Holiday w/e in May with the All Marques Off Road Club. See: www.amorclub.co.uk

I am currently finding out what the sequence of events will be and whether non-member Cayennes can come along for a bit of green laning.......

Pic is of my Pajero at Abingdon off road weekend last year -plenty more where that came from!!

Presumably, you don't mean Supercar Sunday, 20/06 ?
With all the fun of the Dream Rides ?
 
Not really off-road - but would have struggled in a boxster or a 911 i feel. This is the sort of thing I have to tackle on a fairly regular basis as part of my job. Sorry for the quality of the pics - taken by a friend on a digital compact in the rain, and then reduced +++ to cut down-load times

Cam -good to see the Cayenne in its proper habitat for a change, and not the shopper's car park![:D] Or even worse, a Concours d'Elegance................[;)]

BTW, where is it?

Oh right! The All Marques Off Road club I'm in do some green lane weekends around there.

I think the point being made is that it is a 4X4, not that it seats 5.
And the fact that most people with a 4X4 don't need four wheel drive - it is just for show.
 
Come on lets stop knocking the Cayenne and 4X4 owners. Of course they are not often used off-road but as several of our posters say they are great in grotty winter conditions and give a tremendous driiving position as well as making it easy to bump over kerbs. Surely owning a 160mph coupe could be considered to be just as pointless?. Yes you can take them on track days as you can also take your SUV on off-road days.

I wasn't knocking the car or the owners. I don't want one, but that is just personal choice (no kids, I travel light, too small a garage (probably)). I just wish people would stop justifying why they purchased them, and just get on with enjoying them. And, of course, people knocking them for their choice. I never justify my car, and if I ask other people why they bought theirs, it is just out of curiosity (nosiness ?).

I still maintain that most 4X4 are bought for show, in London at least. Who needs one to take the kids to school, or hubby to the station (if too far from a tube). The steets outside the schoools get full of vehicles, anyway, at start/finish times, without these huge vehicles. I still remember the Vauxhall add, where the child choses the car with the most status - so, people believe the adds, to get the lifestyle.
 
There's a whole big world out there outside London where people, of course, do need different types of vehicle.

Gosh, is there ? How quaint !

More to the point, I'm a west country lad myself, so I have seen some of the 'whole big world'.
I have managed to drive my 3.2 around most of Britain, in all weathers, without needing any more than rear wheel drive - this is the point I was trying to make. And, come to that, large areas of Europe, and some of the far east (not in my car, in this case - too far to drive).

I'm not saying that 4X4 is not useful sometimes, and for some people, just that the times/locations are limited. But, as I said before, each to their own, and good luck to them. This diversity of ideas/people is one of the reasons that I like London.
