Is this PH in 2017? a four year plus member who can't see that this is a JLR product from the angle of his photo and doesn't know how to check the make from the VRM? Tsk.
Surely we all know it's a JLR mule by the V registration.

Remind me, why do people think I'm a boring geek? :-)

Saw one at the top of Edge Hill last weekend, regularly see the 'mules' on the M40 near Gaydon.

That's my local registration so almost everyone I know has them laugh

I've been a PH member for donkeys years
Donkey's ears.

There wouldn't be much point to rhyming slang if the rhymed word was rhymed against itself.

Now please excuse me, I have to go down the apple and stairs, I've left my dog and phone on the Cain and table.

Any idea why the DVLA show this as 0 emissions?

Is it because its a development car or are we looking at an electric car?

Just because it's a prototype and they've got no data on it, as you initially thought.
The DVLA site is quite handy for nerding out on Vehicle Registration Mumbers.

Blimey ! I'd never considered that Donkeys Years was actually supposed to be Donkeys Ears and thus slang for years. I guess it makes sense when you think about it.

Mind you, I'm probably the only bloke who thinks when people say "I can't be arsed" they actually mean "I can't be asked" as in "you cannot ask me - I am not prepared to be asked". I'm sure there was a Harry Enfield sketch once with Wayne and Waynetta Slob where he says "I can't be asKed" with a deliberate emphasis on the 'K'

Anyway, I'm off down the Frog and Road........

There was a long discussion about this in another thread; unhelpfully I can't remember which one. I had only ever heard donkey's years prior to that.
