We've probably all seen the motorised goonwagons on Clarkson's video - the Sofa, the Shed, the Boat/Robin and the Skip.

Well today I passed a pine 4 poster bed on the M3!

It was going pretty bloody slowly (40-ish?), so I wasn't able to hang around long enough to figure out what platform it was built on etc..

The guy was reclined in the bed (in the traditional bed fashion) and his controls were all shrouded under the duvet..

As I remember it its a Mini underneath, much like the sofa with a pizza for a steering wheel and a TV remote for a gearstick.

Hope it had a steering wheel and not a joy stick otherwise people might think that he's priming the pump

I've completely failed in my attempt to find a picture of this contraption - I trust there are more resourceful PHers who can help - Bodo's usually good at finding this sort of stuff...

My 16 year old Niece (and her mates) hired this very same vehicle to drop them off and pick them up from their Graduation ball (apparently you graduate from school now).

I've also seen the skip driving through the town
