    Nissan to bring out a Pushme Pullyou

    Those who watch Dr Doolittle will know what I mean. I wonder if this is safer?

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    That's different. Clever, but I couldn't see that catching on, except for in very crowded Tokyo steets maybe. Car tyres should only be rotated in one direction once you use them, I believe, so tyre wear could be a problem.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    What about the steering? It'd have to be four-wheel otherwise you've got a car going one way and a dumper-truck the other....that's gotta be well beyond the limited capabilities of most (insert most hated) drivers.

    Yargh. I well recall the "Dumpy" with it's rear-wheel steering. We used to do speed trials to see who could navigate it around the car park the fastest. Best cause of it slowing down - flinging the driver off when the arse end tried to pass the front.
    Motorbike Camping for the win!

    It can't be. I understand 'Pivo' is russian for beer. So it's a drunk car. Which explains why it doesn't know what way it is facing.
