Have a look at the home page of their website. You will see this years little April Fool.

I hope Mr smithsi is more awake when he's behind the wheel of his Vauxhall

It's now the second of April so my post is not a wind up (anyone spot the Lotus pickup??)...but a few years ago my mate bought an old Rover SD1 2.3 or 2.6 or whatever it was and thought it was really crap until he realised that the old boy who had owned it previously had indeed screwed a lump of wood under the loud pedal, and when challenged said it "helped with fuel economy"

From that point on I though the car was just crap rather than really crap.

More seriously!
I'd have had one for when the missus eventually prises the keys to my Elise from me

Yep, didn't realise it was April 1st. Duh, it's early. Trouble is with this country and the nanny state the way it is, these things are not funny any more.

And there I was thinking that you were being ironic!

Missed opportunity! A better April Fools joke would be that the British police believe an automatic 318i could "run away" and be impossible to stop, even impossible to put into neutral because the throttle was stuck open. Oh, wait, they did!

Nice one Ted - I must admit that this one got me going (for around 4 seconds)!

ps - what's the betting that Halford's have them by Friday?!

Thought the BMW one was funnier.

What did they do this year?

[williamp]

Did anyone see the RFU one?

Rugby ball;s with 8 fibre optic cameras in, beaming images straight to a pair of glasses worn by the Ref.

[nubbin]

Or the programme "Sex, lies and Michael Aspel" suggesting Mel B is Aspel's secret love child? It was absolutely hilarious and totally believable - and then the programme started....

(But a big to the production company for keeping up the traditions of April 1st)
