Something that came up in conversation this weekend was that I don't "need" a 4x4. I don't live at the end of an impassable country lane, I don't regularly need the ground clearance and I don't regularly need to extra propulsion. No, I don't "need" a 4x4, I want one. As a bonus, it's nice to know that should my route home from work be partly flooded (has happened before) or I'm at work and there is a huge dumping of snow (has happened before) I am better placed to get home safely than if I were in another car.

So I open it to fellow Land Rover owners/drivers: where do you place on the need/want spectrum?
