    As for the other part of your question, Elvis, NO! Nobody in Europe would ever fasten an American license plate to their car in an attempt to seem cooler.

    I would love to do the journey I’d planned to do in 1991: Overland from England to Cairo, in a Land Rover. I’d got as far as buying the Land Rover, expedition prepping it, and started organising travel visas, when in late 1990, Saddam decided to Invade Kuwait, and all hell kicked off.

    The stop light could obviously be better, judging by the amount of people that have driven into the back of it.

    A stereo in a series Land Rover. To whit, this stereo (with another 2 satellite speakers):

    Although to be fair, chugging uphill with all those handbags attached will be fairly slow, and therefore safe, at least.

    And I *have* a Harley.

    Indeed. you were pending, so I missed it! Best. Song. Ever.

    and The Range rover, and the Discovery. Having owned all of ‘em, my drive is like a sheik’s doormat.

    Single or twin air horn for urban or country driving.

    Incidentally, I’ve *never* seen one set in the ‘single horn’ position.

    It’s more the look of the thing. They can adjust the aerodynamics all they like, it still just looks like a melted Beetle.

    Also, where’s the fun in getting where you’re going?

    Tedious story ahead: I did this once, not quite as spectacularly though.

    in a previous job as a field service engineer, I was given a company car, and was expected to be onsite for 8am, do a full day to 5pm then drive home. Which is tolerable if I was working in my ‘patch’ which meant I was an hour or so away from

    Yeah, I just don’t like VW Beetles, however much they squash them and add new tech.

    For $22.5k, I’d rather use it on bus fares than own a Cayman, but y’know, tastes vary.

    The colour is horrific, but that Jag’s a thing of beauty, if not reliability.

    Beautiful car, both to look at and drive. But you would mainly be looking at it, as for most of the year it’ll be sat jacked up in your garage being repaired because some 70’s fuckwit couldn’t be bothered to put it together properly in the first place, so CP on this one.

    These guys are fantastische!

    So, he’s a conservative Christian, but he’s fine with ignoring Leviticus 19:28?

    Pfft, lightweight.

    I’m ok with sexy tractors...

    That’s the thing, I’m sure it’s perfectly competent, but it needs to be more than that to fight in the area they’re placing this.

    A Skoda 1000mb? Bet you can never get to a gig in one.

    That’s the thing, if I was in the market for one of these things, I’d just buy the equivalent Merc or BMW. They’ve got to do something spectacular to fight those guys and being ‘competent and a bit above average’ justisn’t enough.
