Added 2023-11-26 17:57:47 +0000 UTCIn pictures this week we start with the terribly vandalised Jag S-Type sent to us by many listeners. Last we looked, it’s on Facebook Marketplace and still not sold, amazingly. The description says it ‘drives spot on’. Then we have the ‘Jimny XL’ and an official Land Rover picture showing what to put in your side box. Plates, a small towel and a cheese grater? Finally, the ‘test mule’ spec short-whhhheeeelbase Land Cruiser. Now some links…
Top Gear will not return ‘for the foreseeable future’
DnB 2023 (Jonny in earplugs, not pictured)
1998 BBC Motor Show Special (featuring The Car Years’ Alex Riley naked and Richard credited as ‘assistant producer’, ooh get him)

Those defender side pods, for when you can't find a dog poo bin. Not only for defender owners 😏.

2023-11-28 22:13:12 +0000 UTCI wondered if I was the only one to sharply suck air through my teeth when Jonny mentioned Tony Mason, only to be pleasantly surprised that he was still with us. I don't know why I'd got it in my mind that he had passed away a few years back.

2023-11-27 13:41:19 +0000 UTCI do wonder how many times this info will be shared... But the pic of the G Wagon with the Jimny XL badge had me confused as in Aus (not sure about elsewhere) the Jimny has been launched in XL spec with 5 doors. https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/2024-suzuki-jimny-xl-5door-launch-confirmed

2023-11-27 06:34:52 +0000 UTCI deliver cars to and from the Toyota factory at Burnaston. All UK sold Toyotas pass through there, (even ones not built in the UK) - there are rows of poverty spec, commercial Land Cruisers on steel wheels, they look great!

2023-11-26 18:43:09 +0000 UTCDamd (link below) is a Japanese company that makes a "Little G" Jimny. Sort of in the vein of your two-of-the-same-car garages, can you imagine having both? If you alternated days, you could completely warp your neighbours' sense of perspective. https://www.damd.co.jp/
