Man who drove 4x4 up mountain failed to attend court

[davepoth]

Because apparently he couldn't afford to get to Caernarfon.

Interesting...

Where's that 4x4 now? And said chap likely to receive jail sentence?

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!

[Flat_Steve]

Didn't he do it twice?

It's Christmas.. Just shake hands and move on.

I'm still trying to work out how he got a Frontera all the way up a mountain....

He drove it

[bazking69]

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

Quite handy off road are Fronteras.

[bazking69]

Indeed. When they work.

[anonymous-user]

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.

You found it remarkable though?

[Buff Mchugelarge]

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?

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
