This was taken from Killian's link, but there is one in York..



It was brough over from Japan, for around 25,000.
Has everthing in the back, glitter balls, dvd surround sound system. etc. Is hired out by a cheuffer business.
I saw it a while back it was parked up outside the place that fitted my car stereo.

I thought it was someone having a joke, maybe a chav on holliday. It's real alright... You wanna see it (If I see it again, I might take some pics to post..)

Curious as to how something like that gets through an MOT test...and how often the boys in blue pull it too...the mind boggles...

I'm more curious as to who would pay 25k for something like that, when is it going to get painted?

When will they be finishing the paint job... looks a bit strange in Primer.

And how do you get under all those railway bridges in it?

erm... I think we bombed all the bridges in Japan... which is where it was imported from

The fins on the roof are a bit smaller IIRC on the one in York, but its pretty much the same. (same colour as well)

WTF? Grand what you can do with a Toyota Hi-Ace, the Travellers' friend.....

Elsewhere, an acquaintance in London had a nasty turn when he spotted it, but recovered enough to snap this:

..mmm, and didn't they wind him up by letting 'the stig' thrash one round the track, which he thought was his?
