In at least one of those examples I'd rather sleep in the Fiesta.

Fiestas were crap tow cars, mine used to get down to 19mpg towing 3 trials bikes on a lightweight trailer.

Just think, you could sit at the table in the back and barbeque your food and keep warm when it catches fire.

Not you as well now.

If I didn't have such a massive ego I'd feel persecuted, as it is I just feel sorry for you lot not knowing how nice it is to go bimbling along in one to the envy of everyone I go past.

Don't think I've ever seen one with a proper camper body nailed on the back before.

They're not that common and bloody slow apparently, even by T2 standards:

Yes I can imagine they are amazingly slow.

I guess they aren't common as they couldn't get a standard body & nail it on due to the firelighter under the rear floor.

But just think, difficult for you I know, you could just get out of the drivers seat, leg it back and then piss on it.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone had come up with a way to easily jettison a burning engine. It'd be cool in a Bond film, after all they did have a 2CV in one.
