Foisted onto ASDA in Sheffield by the city council. If they wanted the planning permission to extend the car park then they had to appease the hand-wringers.

There was quite a thread about it on PH at the time that the picture was taken. I visited specially to stick it to the man... hehe
I'd sit in the pick up point bay (usually outside the main entrance) with the engine running ...... maybe throwing in the odd blip hehe

Very good. I wonder if you could get a car in the small transporter, and the small transporter in the large transporter. Russian dolls.

How about modern dwarfed by classic?



I know that perspective is playing a trick here, but I was genuinely surprised how small my Elise looked alongside this Dino.
