Not forgetting, of course, that the Landcruiser Prado and 200 Series are different vehicles, and it is arguable that some body styles of 70 Series also qualify as SUV's.

Hey that's a really good point. I'm no expert on towing, nor do I know the precise F/R weight distribution of a 911, but logic does dictate that a rear engined car should be travelling backwards on a trailer.

Yo dawg, I herd you like 911's and TDI's. . .

Soooo with you on this one

These are all in Europe and N. America. That doesn't seem right so on behalf of Australasia I nominate Sydney Harbour Bridge, although I've definitely been over some pretty epic bridges out in the sticks in S. Island New Zealand. I've seen some pretty ornate stuff in Thailand and Vietnam, and I feel sure China and

Genuinely surprised Charles Bridge in Prague didn't make this list, disappointed not to see my local, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol, England, but most surprised not to see this one, which I've never seen IRL but is pretty internet famous and I believe is in Norway.

I am surprised it's worth designing a vehicle from the ground up for this, however one thing that stands out to me about this design vs the most common type of wheelchair adapted cars I see (mostly small van based cars like the Citroën Berlingo) is the ramp access from the side not the rear. If it's difficult to build

I miss the days when Japanese trucks looked like this. Plain white, steel wheels, no chrome, no graphics packages, just low key, practical trucks. Ever since pickups became fashionable in the UK (late 90's, I'd say) the brands have been outdoing each other to provide the most macho sounding names on the side, it all

They should base one on this

The concept of a car with electric propulsion and diesel heating amuses me.

Is there a UK equivalent to the Do Not Call Register?

What's the advantage to stretching a Viano vs just starting out with a larger van like a Sprinter?

It should be iBizness. This is not a vehicle for law abiding businesspeople and we all know it.

I shall bow to your greater knowledge of the matter. I'd never imagined two countries so far apart could have such similar signs, road signs being one of those things that often immediately stand out as different when you cross a border.

I think you're right. Unless Japanese road signs are exactly like UK ones, which seems unlikely. In which case I don't think the tiny engine was even an option.

It's not necessarily only 660cc. It's also available bigger engines, including a diesel (1.3ish if memory serves). Jimnys are amazing little cars/trucks/whatever, essentially just a very small version of a traditional body on frame off roader. Among other things they are literally the best vehicle you can tow behind

Is that ex-EDL (English Defence League) leader Tommy Robinson? I'd been wondering what he was up to now.

Anybody familiar with rally cars know what the beeping sound at 0:26 and the buzzing (electric motor?) sound at 0:42 was? It sounds like the car was fitted with a bilge alarm and bilge pump, so I guess it really did want to be a boat all along!

Peel P50

Interesting. Round here (SW England) that's gotta be old Land Rovers (usually beat up), probably followed by Type 1 and 2 VW busses (impeccably restored). This would make a good QOTD: What's the most common old vehicle in your area?
