Similar to above, I was roped into doing some filming for a manufacturer a couple of years ago. The brief was simple - follow the camera car, in this case a new Range Rover, across a field, whilst staying within 2-3 metres off the back of it. Easy, says I.
The RR has a camera operator harnessed in, sitting with his feet dangling whilst he was perched on the open, lower tailgate, holding a camera frame that gimballed and kept everything level.
We set off at a fair old lick across the field, the air suspension on the RR coping beautifully with every undulation and rut. My car, a utilitarian 4X4, didn’t ride quite as well and I found myself hanging on and bracing against anything just to stay in the seat.
So, if you’re ever in one of this particular brand’s showrooms, and see this video playing on the TV, you won’t see me hanging on grimly as the headlights were on and make it impossible to see the driver, but it’s me trying not to either get dislodged from the controls or run into the back of the camera car.

The only thing 'bold' about this minor refresh is VW's cheek in asking a huge amount more money for some LED lights and some cheap electronic gadgets (we'll see how much the actual asking price turns out to be but I bet it's going to be more than £18k).

They obviously got jealous of Toyota and Honda asking just shy of £20k for their small car offerings so implemented the now widely-used car maker con of introducing a mild refresh to justify adding a few grand to the list prices.

You'd be mad to buy a new car these days, even on a leasing option where you throw away money each month, and pay interest charges on an already extortionate list price, just to own nothing.

It will be an LED unit. so will it be repairable if the thing has shorted?

...

many thanks for that my friend will do

Smileyman I saw that very same situation on the M6 last Sunday a car with its front smashed up parked on the SMART lane and had it's wheels on as much of the grass it could as the crash barrier would allow. The man was running round the car and the lady had her baby in a baby seat on the grass on the other side of the barrier. But guess what their was no sign of Police, Traffic patrol, Ambulance or anyone. so much for smart motorways. Also why are they fascinated with putting up crash barriers to keep you on the motorway without them you could stand a chance of getting out of the lane. This government seem destined to kill as many innocent people on these stupid stupid motorways. What's worse is the i****s that first of all allow them to be built, secondly are the i****s that build them knowing they are building death traps. and thirdly the i****s that deny these roads are a danger.
