I'm normal.

The Mercedes is a taxi /limo so it's legally obliged to follow no further than 3 feet from the car in front and to randomly jab it's brakes at unexpected moments.

I wasn't expecting to see them... :-/

Silly iOS editor - here's the second (rather different) one...

Not totally true - I saw two in one day recently...

Yes, but the rest of that generation of (Euro) Ford Escort was appalling...

Well, I feel it's actually much better/safer than driving around with a firework pointing at your face...

Even better was Audi's Procon-Ten - then you wouldn't have hit your face on anything as it pulled the steering wheel out of the way and into the dashboard.

Even as a Brit I have a soft spot for Pontiac. When I was small my father had a 1981 Bonneville as his company car in Saudi Arabia.

Seriously? No Heathrow? Wow!

I had a similar "sledging" incident in my first car, a 1.0 Toyota Yaris (Echo for you guys back then). Not much fun at all and thankfully I didn't roll it.

Here in the UK the X6 positively flies out of dealers compared to the 5-series GT. You know, the GT range. invented because the Austin Ambassador was so fondly remembered...

Seriously. Looking through this guy's collection you have to find a way to interview him...

I'm not a 'Merkun, so I'm not allowed to see it :(

That is/was a G37...

It seems that these people http://www.slideshare.net/bajachill/dipl… don't do a day rate for Iraq, but you're looking at $8000/day for an S550 in Washington DC.

That's $1910.75 for the hard-of-Googling btw...

Amazingly, a Level 5 armoured Range Rover is only £1250/day in London. I've yet to find a price for similar in Kabul or Baghdad, but I imagine they'd start to get a bit pricey...

Oh wow.

What is it? An dashboard alien garden?
