Panda's taking over ! - jdc
Driving past the Rheged Centre in the Lakes yesterday and I noticed a new Fiat Panda 4x4 pulling out. This was followed by another, and another, and another - something like 20-30 must have been around me, quite bizarre and very, very funny.

All with one driver only. Didn't notice if they had trade plates as I was too busy laughing.

I went past the first few and then noticed they all suddenly went into the right turn filter lane en masse, I suppose heading for some off-road track.

What was all this about then ?? Press day, mass testing, an invasion of Panda stealing low-lives ?

Was HJ there I wonder ?

driving 20 - 30 cars ? Impressive. I'm amazed he could reach across them all; or were the other cars remote control ?

Ha, ha ha - Mark !

Actually, it did have the appearance of some Dom Jolly-esque stunt with the cars being remote controlled.

A very bizarre and surreal sight - I wish I could have taken a picture....

I think he means they didn't have SWMBO in the back seat :-)
