I did always slightly prefer the XK180 concept to this one. That double-bubble windscreen looked amazing (even though it would have been impossible to produce, and probably hard to see through).

It’s smaller than some/most pickups. You could probably put the whole thing in the bed of something oversized like an F350.

For what it’s worth, you do quickly get used to having the stalks on the ‘wrong’ side from what you’re used to, but personally I kept forgetting every few days and end up wiping the windows instead of indicating etc.

Notice how on the auction pictures, the sides are basically flat, with what looks like a hinge around the middle of the wheels.

There was a Citroen based Romahome parked right opposite my house last week! It seems to have moved now.

That’s not small, this is small:

When I was younger I shared a car with my brother’s. My youngest brother in particular had (still has) a tendency to leave rubbish in the car, and to eat while he’s driving.

At least this is a somewhat appropriate topic for a slideshow.

The UK doesn’t even have the geographical diversity of France, let alone Mexico.

Except plenty of Irish consider Northern Ireland to be an illegitimate occupation.

Avebury is a much better stone circle to visit than Stonehenge. The parking is cheap, and because the circle encompasses part of the village, it’s free to walk around and you can walk up to the stones and touch them. Plus, there’s a pub in the centre.

Quick maths:

I’m from the UK, and this sounded entirely plausible for the US.

In the UK a ‘transit van’ is almost the generic name for vans like this, so this news is either going to make things more, or possibly less, confusing.

What if you swapped the interior, and the VIN? Maybe that’s what’s happened here?

If I recall correctly, the thermostat on this scooter screwed into the bottom of the radiator. So in this case you’d have to screw something into the radiator that sealed it, but allowed coolant flow.

The more realistic explanation, which still sounds like a joke, is that the Porsche spent most of it’s time in the garage broken down, while the Dacia just kept on lapping.

I still can’t work out why they didn’t word the law as “modified to change the angle of the vehicle more than X degrees from factory spec”, instead of specifying the amounts you can change the suspension height.
