Not to mention the "best" thing about the doors- apparently they extend beyond the rear bumper when opened, so will ding the car behind (and they're electric, so you can't just open them partway). Peugeot now say that they stop before the rear bumper- maybe they've fixed it now.

They have to move inwards before they can go outwards.

The taxi drivers are driving RX hybrids, which are fairly powerful. I don't see the point of limiting the power output of cabs, though...

1 PR 75, the unique Citroen DS Presidentielle.

or the PV544S

He was wrong even then- there had been 13 water landings of commercial aircraft with survivors before the Hudson crash. All but two of these had a survival rate of better than 50%, three had a survival rate of 100% (including one where a passenger landed the very small plane, but also one in a river in a major city…

On the other hand, in Europe the WRC cars are road-legal- hence the license plate bracket- so theoretically you could buy one (of the ones they sell to privateer teams) and DD it. Of course, you'd have to be absurdly rich and batshit insane, but hey...

Their Corvettes had CDR, LMP and CMP (Commander, Lunar Module Pilot, Command Module Pilot) painted on them- but I don't think you can make it out in this picture.

I think the engine in the Defender is called the 300Tdi.

The BBC put him behind the wheel of both of them- he seemed to like the new one!

The license plate is a joke (I don't think the Aston went on any roads open to the public). The font's wrong.

No, it's a Moto-Lita- and I just came here to post it.

Don't cops usually drive really close behind in order to run the license number? Of course, if they're only doing it to black guys it's still racist douchebaggery...

It's put a tiger in your TANK, not put a tiger in your TRUNK!

Even law-abiding Britons go "seriously fast on narrow roads" by US standards. You see the signs that are a white circle with a black diagonal line? On a non-divided road, those mean 60.

This being Cambridgeshire, and with the bit of black bonnet you can see in the dash-cam, it's a V70 T-5 or T-6. Cambridgeshire Constabulary use those as pursuit cars.

I think the Warthog is supposed to run on hydrogen...

Interesting to see Vermont juxtaposed with that video: in the run-up to the Civil war, the state of Georgia (IIRC, could have been Mississippi) petitioned the Federal Government to "employ enough able-bodied Irishmen to dig a ditch around Vermont and float the thing out into the ocean"

Possibly if they're locked in a car in a dark garage with a dead battery (so they can't turn the interior lights on). But that's one of many reasons why you keep a flashlight (as well as the manual) in the glove compartment.

That looks remarkably like the radar tracker in Bond's DB5
