This is a bit of an odd one, I thought uninsured cars that were seized by the Police ended up getting cubed.

This fine county lines chariot is alive and well, it even has VED on it

It would be amusing to rag about in it with the sticker on the back window.

American Vans, impractically large.
Is there a way to make one even more of a daft thing to own ?

I know the owner via Facebook, was seriously considering buying that, I think you would get 12-15mpg doing stop start so no worse than a Jag etc

I hired a minibus version in Florida about 20 years ago , I thought it was doing amazingly on petrol for the first few days, until I discovered it took about 30 gallons to fill the fucker up. Luckily it was in $2 to the £ days , left some serous rubber every time I had to do a U Turn, almost got it bogged down on Daytona Beach during Bike Week too when my then 14 year old was driving , swerving round the bikers and millions of hookers.
