Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[Bobby Dazzler]

Seems that our ideas of Jack of All Trades differ.

To be fair, carrying 750kg of lead is quite specific and not a common requirement. I meant a car for almost every purpose in a domestic setting, without considering the specifics of every trade or business use.

For the avoidance of doubt the GLC 63 would also be a rubbish milk tanker, concrete mixer, cattle transporter, chilled food distribution, car transporter, builder’s pick-up, minibus, parcel delivery van, etc.

Ok then Mr Pedantic.

Would the Jack of All Trades GLC 63s get me out of the mud on the farm, has it got a massive boot and can I get 500kg of paving slab and 100kg of bags of sand & cement for my new patio?

I don’t think it’s the car for you.

I’d have an E63s Estate though.

How are they at carrying 750kg of lead, 500kg of paving slabs and getting you out of the mud on a farm?

Why would I want to do that? I’d get a crappy old Toyota pick-up for that.

Like from The Day of the Jackal?

The Graduate?

The Graduate?

I know the one. Lovely car.

What did he have in The Day of the Jackal? He resprayed it in the woods.

Well they’re gorgeous as well but that was a Giulietta Spider. The Duetto is like the one in The Graduate. I’d take either to be honest!

I think so too. I get my Giulittas mixed up with my Duettos.

Ha ha, the Giulia also - looks like a Giulietta but has a bonnet scoop!

Lovely old 190SL in the pub car park. Reg number is 822 XVA.

When was the last time you saw a Vauxhall Carlton, never mind a Carlton estate, and never mind a Lotus Carlton estate?!
