I'm bloody sick of it ...

...all those yummy mummys in their Canyoneros forcing me into the ditch every morning ...I've had it :mad:

My next car is going to be this one:

Anyone any idea what the tax and insurance would be on this?
(I'm serious !)

I remember seeing a documentary on the boxer, Chwis Euuuubanks, and he had the same idea as yours.
He used to pop down to the shops in a Scania tractor unit (or something like that, anyway):D

Henry Ford III

I think he caused a crash too, killing some poor unfortunate.

I often dream about mounting a crossbow behind the front grille (with option flames!) so that I can blast people who insist on sitting in the fast(Conor Faughnan)(read OVERTAKING) lane.
Also a smoke machine for the rear of the car to ward off tail-gaters. Possibly a machine that shoots ball bearings too.
Might be a bit extreme for a school run, thank God no kids yet!!!

I take my NewHolland tractor. If they don't pull in I just shut off the engine and smile.

I think Chwis had a Kenworth W900. http://www.kenworth.com/2100_vir_w900.asp

OP - you'll have to remove the fifth wheel or else you will require a Category C+E (artic) licence even if you never draw a trailer. If it weighs over 7.5 tonnes you'll need a Category C (rigid) licence. Otherwise you'll require a C1. Now which do you have?

ROFL

It's actually part of the army driving training (though not on public roads). It really IS weird ...you can't see a thing, just straight ahead and whenever you turn your head to look out the side or into your mirrors you hit the gas filter off the side window
