After Dru Marland got penalised for cycling too fast , we sent one of our unwitting cyclists down College Road to see what speed cyclists should do down it. Notice how, although the bicycle was going at the same speed as the car in front, it was still holding up a Volvo XC90, school-run, presumably. This car was forced to overtake the bicycle, which, with the oncoming traffic and narrow gap in front...

I first heard about this creation back at the beginning of March when my friend suggested we visit the Gatebil show in Sweden. Turns out thats was as far as the idea of going to Gatebil got. After looking into going to Gatebil, a feature on their website talked about the Gatebil Taxi. Then it was just a photoshop rendering, but now its a smoke machine with 800bhp from the V8 engine. I love a build...

We are looking to buy a 'new' car....but you gotta know..I have been in Germany 34 years and have only had two. The first was a Mercedes 350 SLC...which was painfully 'given up' after 18 years. This was followed by a BMW 525....which is still with me...and is also loved. As my wife is a 'nervous' passenger...she feels sitting a little higher would help. About three weeks ago we tried a BMW X3 over...
