I saw this in Railstaff not so long ago, they put it on a flatbed rail wagon and took it down the mountain by train... it said the driver was helping to raise money for the railway after they so kindly retrieved his Frontera!

That is what is puzzling me. A Frontera. All the way up a mountain. To the top.

And it was mountain with a convenient, nicely laid, smooth-ish wide-ish path, that winds up the side of it at a shallow angle. In fact, just the sort of path that say, oh, maybe a train, could use to get to the top??? ;-)

He's stuck at the top of a mountain apparently with no way of getting down.

I went to the top of Snowdon with my little boy about a month ago and the Frontera was still there.

It was the second time he did it apparently, the car had adverts all over claiming it would be for sale on E-bay.
That plan obviously failed then!

Before I opened up the link, I thought it might have been Clarkson. He did something equally stupid awhile back didn't he? redcard

It did pop up on ebay briefly, there was a thread here. The proceeds were going to go to a mountaineering charity or something. But I think the ad vanished after a few hours
