    Sounds about right, drove a V8 Range Rover once and told the owner afterwards that I'd renamed it the Queen Mary.

    Rumbled along nicely on the straights, but 5 minutes before each corner you had to start braking and send a message to the front wheels by pigeon post that you might want to start turning soon please.

    the ones with sun roofs are good,park them on your front lawn and throw all your rubbish in them, when full drive to the dump and leave them there.
