What does your car say about you? Greenpeace asks that very question and if you’re a 4×4 driver living in town it’s not an answer that’s very nice. Check out their protest against the Chelsea tractor brigade. Meanwhile, over in what could be Kazakhstan (judging by the Boratesque ‘taches) they’ve got problems of their own and that doesn’t include global warming.

Merry Xmas to all our readers from all at Motortrader.com – we’ll be back in the new year with more of the same!
