On Monday 26th I hired a box-trailer to transport some furniture for my mother-in-law from her house to her sisters at Todmorden.

On the way up to her house I stopped to talk to someone. As I returned to the Discovery the scene made me smile.

As I had my digital camera with me I just had to take the shot.

I think that that load would constitute a major logistical problem, after all passing under any form of bridge would be out of the question.
It'd need a very long ratchet-strap as well.

Is it an automotive version of the Dave Allen sketch where he plays the Vicar with the tree sticking out of his head.
Anyone remember that one?

maybe its the all new top secret electric powered Discovery, that they plan to beat emissions with! the only prob is the batteries and charger have to be towed at all times!!

what was that old story about Range Rovers towing their own petrol pumps!!??

:yay:

I remember the sketch, the wedding photographer asks the vicar to move left a bit, as it looks like the tree is sticking out of his head. When he moves the tree moves with him!
