Activists drill holes in tyres of more than 60 SUVs at Exeter car dealership
Tyre Extinguishers claim responsibility for attack to highlight ‘presence of grossly inappropriate private vehicles’ on roads
Clever move to target a dealership
Anti-SUV activists used a power drill to sabotage the tyres of more than 60 4x4 vehicles at a car dealership, in an attack they described as a reprisal for the deaths of two girls in a crash at a primary school last month.
In the early hours of Monday morning, activists crept on to the forecourt of the Vertu Jaguar showroom in Exeter. They told the Guardian they went from vehicle to vehicle drilling holes in the sidewalls of all four tyres on each, so they must be replaced

They have a couple of these for sale nearby, £80,000. Yes they really are on sale to the general public.

Another tragedy for you; sadly 1 dead and 5 injured. Thats all we know for now apart from the fact a 500 was involved.

I'm not a fan of large 4x4 cars but I'm equally not up for deflating or damaging tyres of them when parked.
Along the coast from us is a lifeboat station. Many of the crew use 4x4. Imagine you're called for a shout, you rush to your vehicle and find you've got flat tyres. You can't get to the station, you can't launch.
I think about this a lot because I'm thinking of applying to crew a rescue boat and will be thinking about buying a RR or similar so I can always get on/off the beach for launches.
Also a lot of farmer's use 4x4. Some of these live in the town, as do some doctors and vets. They go out to their vehicle and find they've got flat/damaged tyres. There's now a delay before getting to the animal/patient that needs your help.
I know these scenarios are going to be rare, but they can/will happen.
As I said I'm not a fan of these vehicles, but I'm not a fan of this sort of vandalism. (The dealership is fair game I suppose)

Why not? Do you think all lifeboat crew are poor fishermen or something? For example J Adnams, chairman of Adnams brewers, was on the Southwold crew for many years and has a net worth of £24 million.
Besides, the Evoque tops out at around £65k.

That model isn't, but a lot of other 4x4 of different models and different ages are.

Agreed, but not all crew, not all farmers, vets, or doctors live in rural areas.
Because the Range Rover Evoque and its like, especially in white, is the car of the urban poseur, not the rugged rural worker who needs a workhorse.

Again why are you assuming that lifeboat crew are all "rugged rural workers" and not, for example, estate agents.

A cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel
My mate is a lifeboatman. He always keeps his Jaguar parked outside the dealership because he heard that thing about how your car loses five grand as soon as you drive it off the forecourt and he wanted to avoid that happening. Someone let his tyres down last week and as a result he was unable to get to his boat in time and hundreds, no thousands of people drowned as a direct result.
One of the people who drowned was a vet, and he couldn't get to an emergency call either on account of being at the bottom of the sea. But it wouldn't have mattered anyway because he also drove a 9 litre cuntmobile that took up three quarters of a cubic mile and the tyres on that had been let down as well because he also kept it on the forecourt of the dealership. Many thousands of innocent guinea pigs died as a result.

If they don't, then they don't need an off road vehicle do they?

And the AA is like 8 quid a month so he can fucking afford it.

The 80 grand is irrelevant. You can lease one for 400 quid/month because RR resale values are so good.

£400/month for a car. Lol.

It doesn't seem like a lot of money and plenty of people do it. I'm just point out that the barrier to entry to the glamorous world of Evoque ownership is not 80k capital but the ability to be 400 quid/month credit worthy.

No, but you can get an Evoque. The point being that an Evoque driver doesn't have to have 80 grand.
No, indeed. The £65k Evoque that platinumsage referred to would cost you £650 a month to lease. £400 a month wouldn’t even quite get you the bottom of the range, £40k-ish model.
