Zetros in a helicopter - you don't get much cooler than that!

Surprisingly, the French are particularly good at this kind of thing. Top of the heap seem to be Dream Team Car down near Marseilles.

Because if I was crossing Asia or Africa I'd want something both comfortable and reliable. Sadly a Defender is neither. Fully kitted out they do look awesome though.

Kind of reminds me of this classic...

Gentle bend at 5mph...

...but, being France, ultimately it came down to the fact that a bridge would be more impressive and cause the local politician's mistress to love him more?

If you'd been stuck I in the centre of Millau pre-bridge you'd think it was a good idea too! It's a stunning thing to drive over as well as to look at. My dad and I were so impressed that turned around and went back for a second pass!

Seconded...

The trouble with the Rover 800 is that there was no way to predict if you'd get a good one or a bad one. The good ones would run forever with little or no issue (I still see some around today - particularly the rare Coupés) but a bad one would be lucky to run for a week at a time.

This is Bob. He belongs to friends of mine. He's a 1967/8 originally converted in California but then brought the the UK and swapped to RHD.

"Albert" and "Edward" each had a proper, custom-designed badge. The book about the genesis of the McLaren F1, "Driving Ambition" is full of all sort of really useless facts like this...

Very Savile-esque.

There used to be a guy who parked at Kettering Station here in the UK and he really didn't care if he parked within the lines or not. At the time my 4x4 was my daily driver and it takes up a lot of the tight-for-the-UK sized space so I always parked up against the line on the passenger side of the space making sure I…

So many possibilities...

THIS is the best Land Rover commercial ever...

Addendum: The pair in the white Ferraris are total knob-jockeys.

Watching it now, but these guys do drive like complete tools. I say that not just from the documentary footage but from having seen them do it myself.

There was a guy in Glasgow that did that - basically it was too big for either lifting or clamping...

Thirded.

You're not in love with the PT Cruiser. Trust me. It's just the most depressing thing to drive ever. A friend and I spent 10 days with one of these pieces of bestial shit for, where the brochure for our "let's do a road trip whilst we're single and have some money" promised a Mustang or even, acceptably, a Stratus…
