Ah. I see, it was a covert group of marketing people from one of Toyota’s rivals. They successfully infiltrated Toyota in order to ensure that an awful lot of people would never buy a Toyota again. Now, that is brilliant!

I do not understand these things, just from the picture at the top of the article I can tell that it has terrible sight lines and a woeful lack of interior space. Which begs two questions at least, why did it get made in the first place? And, who on earth thought of buying one?

Round about £25000 for a nice one. They rust like billy-o though

Particularly when it looks suspiciously like a GTV 6 on steroids,

Two of my vehicles require carbide, water and a flint to activate the headlamps. One needs lamp oil and a match. On the upside, none of the three have distractingly bright dashboards.

If is true that that average Bugatti owner has a frankly obscene 84 cars, three yachts and a private jet then one of these could be useful. For getting around their garage/dock/private airfield complex.

NP, and I will leave this here,

I know, dull really, just 28 miles of networked tunnels a mile under the North Atlantic and the silly really north bit of it too. A journey that took 3-4 hours on a nausea inducing boat if the weather allowed down to a twenty minute drive, with added folk dancing. Heavens help the Faroese, next thing they know there…

Oh yes, it is full on Viking magic!

The Danes do stuff too.

In this corner of the world I am not sure we are ready for robot bin lorries. It is only three years since these ,

I have some history with these, five or six years ago a client desperately wanted one. I found one very like this. It cost around £12000 to get it running. Six months later it cost another £50000 to get it running properly. The moral of this tale? If you have cars, drive them!

I will only buy a Spyker if it has one of these,

Bizarrely this is the second time this year that I have seen one of these and not only on the interwebly doodah thingamajig. Fewer than 1000 were built and almost none with a tow hitch, I think five or six (yes I helped someone sell one), the tow hitch is for.........................

I once crashed an aircraft. It was not amusing,it was not filmed,it hurt quite a bit, it was horridly expensive and not anything to be pleased about in any way.

Before the crash, left front door window, the reflection is different,

I suspect that a big part of thus was the bugbear of many a newish car, unexpected acceleration. It appears to me that the Land Rover has a dealers info sheet on the passenger window, and I think it is a new hybrid one, just pressing the loud pedal a touch to hard and, oopsadaisy!

In days of old when knights were bold

The Lagonda puzzles people but here in the UK it is usually identified quite quickly. There are a surprising number of car geeks around!

My daily driver is an utterly reliable Bentley, although I do not drive every day. Bravery has nothing to do with this, sheer bloody mindedness is closer.
