I'm not even a driver but chelsea tractors make me really mad. It's not just the issue of their greeness (I know there are normal cars that pollute as much, and 4x4s that pollute a lot less), they're unsafe and totally unnecessary. I recently came across the site Alliance Against Urban 4x4s, where you can order fake parking penalty flyers to put on peoples cars, it's a great idea. Except I can imagine a lot of 4x4 drivers wouldn't really give a shit either way, but passers by will notice them, and may stop to read them, and hopefully it will put a few people off buying them. Now I know some people do actually need big vehicles, and some even go off road. But I think it was on topgear that they pointed out you cant even fit offroad tyres on a Porsche Cayenne! So if you live in a big city and fume with anger everytime you see a stupid shiny 4x4 without a single grain of mud on it, order some flyers, or print your own. And don't even get me started on Bullbars!
