Title: Push-me-pull-you
Post by: Shackeng on 25 August 2019, 16:18:59
Driving down the outside lane of a dual carriageway this AM, I approached a car in the inside lane which appeared to be driving in reverse at about 65 mph. As I got closer I realised I was looking at the front of what appeared to be a Rover 75, and yep, travelling at 65 in reverse with no driver or passenger looking at me! As I overtook I discovered the driver facing the front of the other half of the car, also a Rover 75!
There are some wonderful eccentrics in this world. It had me chuckling all the way home ;D

Now if the BBC watchdog program or Which magazine saw that car they would be screaming cut-n-shut danger car, fluffy kittens and nuns could die, it should be banned...
Even tho it's probably stronger now than when it left the factory...

I've seen that car on the interweb somewhere, long time ago.

Saw a picture of an omega coupe on the internet quite recently. I think it was in America. Two doors. Not to my taste.
