My odo reading is like a badge of pride, and you can see it through the window anyway. I’d be concerned about the extrapolation of my movements from such data if I didn’t get hit by ANPR every time I drive a main road.

These are the ugliest thing Ford has ever sold and in Britain are mostly seen in council estates. I hate them with a passion. They replaced the Sierra with this abomination!

I want to see this but with some sort of clever magnetic field so you don’t need the sides. You know, so you just slide round corners on a flat sheet of glass with no sides and just a hunk of iron strapped round your waist for the magnets to guide? That’d be the next step in slide technology.

Well maybe, particularly considering the correct terminology was used within the article, the word tow was used in the title to make the article more accessible and relatable to the typical readership that has no experience of helicopters. Y’know, like me and the other 99% of the population? Or maybe it’s just less of…

They might perform when you totally change/upgrade the engine and spend god knows how much tightening up the handling, but I’ve known these as what they generally were sold as in the UK: naturally aspirated diesel sheds.

Occasionally the alignment is such that only the drive through is open, I’m in no fit state to drive and simultaneously desperate for a half dozen cheeseburgers. In these circumstances being told you can’t have your burgers no matter how good your engine sounds are is draconian indeed. I for one welcome this progress…

So I can still roll coal round the arc de triomphe in my 1998 Land Rover 300tdi? Cheers, Frenchies!

No because it’s half expected that cool cars might be modified. I’ve seen plenty of fast VW campers for example. The best sleeper is the one that no one suspects. Like a V8 Prius, this Camry or anything awful.

That sounds like someone I know. In fact, it sounds like nearly everyone I know. This is how all our little gangsters sound in England. They don’t all have curved tellies though so this one must be a relative success.

I don’t know about what’s hardest to drive, I’ve got a Defender but it has power steering and what not so it’s pretty easy to drive HOWEVER passengers find it quite demanding.

Definitely tractor NASCAR with three Massey Ferguson 135s whilst the college tutor took 20 minutes fetching a hitch pin of some variety. We were trying really hard to make them drift and probably deserved to get hurt but we survived. 45.5hp can be very very dangerous, and equally fun!

This is good. My tiny home town used to have whole TVR dealership. As a kid I used to regularly get goosebumps listening to those beautiful engines. Anything that puts more of those on the roads is fantastic news for everyone.

My only regret in life that can be mentioned in polite conversation is not buying a (somewhat worse for wear) zebra striped Baja for my first car. So it’s a definite NP vote from me.

The “outrage” is not real. Just something Evans dreamt up, probably. I’ve certainly not seen any outraged people. That man’s such a wet fart. Don’t even get me started on his poncified car collection!

Was I meant to laugh at “tugging a semi”? Cause I laughed at “tugging a semi".

I’d take the ‘85 Sierra RS Cosworth. I love Ford Sierras. Great interiors, ride, looks, handling, image.... It’s basically my dream car. My first car was an ‘88 Sierra Estate and it was bloody amazing, I can only dream what it’d be like with a few hundred more horsepower and sportier handling. I sold the estate to get…

I want to know that dude about as much as I want a Honda Ridgeline.

I heard of a gardener doing this with strimmer fuel line (I believe it was a Darwin Awards “Honourable Mention”)

I’m not sure a kinetic recovery strap is a great idea for a gift. Novice off road recovery is dangerous enough without what I consider to be giant rubber bands of doom. Much better to give people the boring cheap kind I reckon.

No mention for a clunky old Land Rover/Jeep/whatever? I can’t comprehend more fun than an old Land Rover with plenty of dents and mud tyres! The empowerment is amazing.
