That's pretty normal around here along with farmers on quads with a dog in the trailer when going to fast just to sit on the rack.

I used to get taken to rugby matches in the back of one as a kid. You can get a full team in the back of a Transit Tipper.

Aye, most farm dogs are smart enough to lie down and chill out in the back of a pick up.

Everything from where the window frame attaches to the door is really just to keep the weather out and it's not very good at it . I'd prefer my chances rolling it with the roof off, at least you've a better chance of jumping out.

The safety is built-in - it's unlikely to want to move forward at all, and if it can be convinced to do so, you won't be going very fast, or for very long until it stops again.

One of the Merc (Nissan) pickups in 250d spec. First I've seen here.

I saw a Qatar plate X Class in Knightsbridge with the occupants trying to look cool inside. Would hate to be the person who bursts their bubble to make them aware they’re driving a rebadged Navara

Oooh now that's a proper spot!

I just saw a R63 AMG but didn’t have time to whip my phone out - surely that’s more rare than an Enzo?

A green Enzo with badly resprayed wheels has been spotted several times on a local forum, hoping to see it for myself some time.

My mechanic made that, most of the tat on mine is picked out from that build

Ha! Saw that yesterday - perfect for the Waitrose shop!

Full retard!?

2.2l diesel make sure your Waitrose isn't at the top of a hill

As it’s advertised as 6x4 I guess that means 2 of the back wheels are just for show and not driven, sounds like it would be easy to have the rear driven wheels in the air, resting in the fake wheels and just having the fronts to drag you out, so it’s a completely useless thing now

Off Twitter, but too good not to share



Also, saw a Vauxhall Cascada on Sunday (don’t bother googling it - you won’t want one!)

You're right, those eye-liner-headlight things really don't suit Mercs do they?

The real irony is that it’s very close to the truth.

Anyone remember this beauty? I think it was Rich that spotted it previously.



I went to get my airbag light cleared at the local specialist and this peach was parked up outside.

You'll also see, however, the stunning E28 Alpina in front of it. No.5 apparently of c400. Incredibly tidy and he got it for what seams like a steal to me, given E28 prices generally.
