@Danforrister @hjwakerley And those US bumpers are hideous!

@Danforrister Great minds and all that! My friend in Marbella, the late Sheikh Mohammed Ashmawi, owned two 600s and a ZIL that he had repainted in silver. They were only available in black from the factory.

@Danforrister Ironically, that looks like the Russian ZIL 4104 limousine that was modelled on the 600!

@hjwakerley @collectingcars_ They only arrange access for clients. Luckily I attended three press events over the years. I also had the chance to drive an MB Guard S500L with one deflated Run-flat tyre through a cone slalom as fast as I could, and then drifted it on a split-mu surface on the way out!

@hjwakerley @collectingcars_ The difference between the old NATO and current VPAM certification systems is that while the former tested the materials for efficacy, the latter tests an actual car with those materials in place.

@hjwakerley First-aid kit.

@hjwakerley This is the ballistic armour plate and bullet-proof glass that protects occupants from a rear attack. The glass is top hinged, while the armour plate is split in the middle and opens outwards for access to the load space.

@hjwakerley @collectingcars_ You push that button and then pull one of the door handles to activate the system. The two blank buttons are for the rotating toof beacon and LED flashing lights in the side mirrors not fitted to this car. There is a long options list including a fire extinguisher system.

@peterwells79 @hjwakerley Ah, Dunton. I did a consultancy job for EEO there in 1985 to optimise the factory-fit audio systems. The first task I gave them was re-positioning the speakers from the footwells to the doors!

@eyup_io @GBNEWS Many other car makers are also backing away from all-EV as they have realised it is the road to ruin. If EU and US politicians reverse this EV nonsense then China's car industry will collapse overnight!

@angelavarndall @GBNEWS Porsche's EVs are good, but real Porsche drivers are enthusiasts who see the virtue signalling Net Zero charade for what it is. Porsche's e-fuel from 100% renewables makes sense as every existing petrol car can use it. The most eco-friendly car is one that already exists!

@4thxjuly @GBNEWS @PorscheGB @Jaguar WOKE individuals running Jaguar. Last one out switch off the lights!

@PaulStillgoing @PhoneixReloaded @MadelineWa20933 @jonsopel The UN is a toothless tiger, just like the League of nations that preceded it. If individual countries like Russia can block votes to sanction their behaviour then the whole system is not worth having.

@SgawShaw @PhoneixReloaded @jonsopel They don't but his wife is German and he got his kids German passports to preserve their FoM rights!

@itsocheagain @Ali3Mctavish If you want to avoid him go to Clacton!

@sunbuffy @Ali3Mctavish Redoing deals the UK already had under its EU membership. Just an opportunity for the vacuous one to prance around the globe on an extended photo-op at the UK taxpayer's expense!

@Billleslie181 @Ali3Mctavish @TheAlexHughes Nancy boy!
