Did anyone see this?????
I know it wont make a hapenny worth of difference, but heres a copy of an email I've sent to the top gear team. If you feel strongely enough, plese send one of your own, or even a copy of this one with your name on it?

Dear Top Gear,

I am an avid watcher of your show. I look forward to each weeks bout of info. and highjinks. I am also an avid off roader. I am writing as the latter. I have just watched the 'green laning / fox hunting' segment of this weeks show. I found it most amusing, outright hilarious in fact.

Unfortunately the Ramblers Association do not appear to have a sense of humour and many of their members genuinely believe that off roaders do drive just like that, doing just as much damage, and without the land owners consent (or recompense). These types of people are unfortunately feeble minded enough not to get the joke. These people probably wont watch your program about 'planet destroying gas guzzling monsters', but undoubtedly they know someone, who knows someone who does, and by the time they hear about it the Terios was faster, the mud was deeper, and the damage was on a Biblical scale! It is then myself and other enthusiasts who get it in the neck.

I feel about my Daihatsu (used for towing and playing, but not the school run!) as strongly as you do about your Alfa, or Porsche, or Rolls, etc, etc. With our government already appearing to have it in for 4x4's we need all the help we can get. I'm afraid Top Gear has done us a great disservice.

Please could it be made clear at some later point in the series that what Jeremy was doing in no way resembles Green Lanning. Hill Rallying or Comp. Safari (where the ground is private, and paid for) yes, but not green laning (where it is a public un-made road with all the laws that entails, including a speed limit).

Thank you for 'listening'.
