At 1:33, just as the woman says "Wouldn't it be funny if a cop car came the other way", a large white car (Holden something?) with some sort of fairly discreet markings and what looks like a light bar on the roof turns right in front of them. That's not some sort of cop car, is it?

I grew up near a few Royal Air Force bases, US military working over here had some kind of deal that made it easy to bring their own cars over, for that reason American cars were a fairly common sight on the roads here. GMC day vans were quite popular, and Ford Thunderbirds and stuff like that, which I could kind of

3-series fighter? Over here the Vauxhall Omega, as we knew it, was seen as far more of a 5-series competitor. Well, a poor mans 5-series.

Yeah they will, but like the Cossie that's reserved for certain cops who have managed to get into the relevant specialist unit. I'm guessing you'd be unlikely to get the fast car and the gun, though, it'd be one or the other. I'd take the car

What's a Lamborghidi?

Just what I was thinking.

I also would like to know how you know that.

Surely this must have been a system for carrying weed across borders (the US/Mexico border, I would assume), why would anyone bother making something like that for carrying weed "around town"?

Man, I didn't know that. I'd noticed some sketchier looking low end GT's about (Aggressor) but I didn't realise they were under new ownership/not trustworthy products any more. Makes me sad, they were always such consistently well made frames back in the 90's.

Cor have really cocked up here. Even if there's some doubt as to whether he was abusing his wheels in some way they still should've replaced it, that shows confidence in their products and that they believe that this was a one off problem. As an advertising/marketing exercise the cost of a wheel (even a posh one) is

Man that's funny. Has he gone for the alloys on the front but the cheap steelies on the back to try to look like a drifter?

Seriously, Gawker need to be more selective about their advertisers, this flashing crap just makes the site look cheap and nasty.

Any cop worth their salt should respect your desire not to have to drive tired, just thought I'd mention the rough camping thing as, sadly, we're not as tolerant of that kind of thing as our European neighbours, something that I think catches alot of Euro-trippers unawares.

Without a doubt the best roadtrip of my life was 2 months touring the Australian bush in an FJ40 which had been a SWB pickup until someone had extended the wheelbase and put a camper shell on the back. Freakin' awesome truck.

Me and a couple of friends fell foul of the old night-to-day conversion while sleeping in an old Mitsubishi van on the outskirts of Christchurch, New Zealand. We had found what we thought was the parking lot outside some quiet looking lock up storage units late at night, only when it got light it turns out they

Sleeping in your car on mainland Europe is generally pretty cool, but be very selective about where you stay if you're tempted to do it in the UK, prejudice against Romany and Irish travellers here makes anybody sleeping in a vehicle here "fair game" to cops and local thugs, especially in certain areas. I'm not saying

Mercedes C63 AMG

I strongly suspect that the same was once said about Japanese trucks on the Australian market. Although it may take a while for people to develop the trust they have in their Toyotas, if it gets the job done and the price is right, it will sell.

A Moke with the 1275 engine must be all kinds of fun. I'd go as far as to say it must be one of the most fun FWD cars you could have.

Neither. Because I'm the sort of person who reads Jalopnik.
