Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    A "hearse ambulance" ?

    Doesn't really work as a hearse, certainly doesn't work as anything else.
    Is this a new form of "commercial" for tax avoidance?

    I don't get it ....

    As an aside ...would you rather have the corpse's feet or head on the "passenger seat" ?

    That's very odd. Head.

    Probably used by a coroner or an embalming company.

    or a very bad paramedic - it turns from an ambulance to a hearse if he doesn't do a good job?

    What's wrong with a van (black if needs be) for that purpose ?

    The ralliart sticker is a touch of class in this case isn't it?

    You'd wonder what was the point alright, what was the advantage over a normal van if it was (presumably) used for picking people up from various unfortunate "scenes"

    Nothing at all or an estate as well,i reckon in this lads case looks like a jap import prob with high vrt which he could'nt sell then converted to a hearsette to get cheap vrt (completly legal) and cheap tax as a hearse (again completly legal) in an attempt so sell the damn ugly thing to some undertaker who can't afford the properly converted hearsette ie (van or estate) for example new vectra hearsette diesel is €19950

    head, that way you can have the lid open and make use of the "passengers" hands (suitably posed in a cup holding manner) as a novelty cup holder, maybe even pop their mouth open and use it to hold a Mars bar, Ginster's pasty or an apple or something for the road trip. :D

    who knows, maybe they'll have some change for the toll. :p

    i think it might be time for my bed. :pac:

    Pffft; flat-bed and a pitch fork. Or a spatula for those hard-to-shift bits.
