I never checked whether it was a V8 or a V12 but it felt fast! Glad it came with shift lights and this warning or there could have been tears. Handling was a bit gash.

(serious post alert...I've never seen that before? What is it? A braking mechanism if the trolley leaves the car park?!)

Really? They're everywhere around me (London taaaan).

One of the wheels has a funny dooby-wotsit that flicks down and jams the wheel if it goes over a certain line. I think the line marks some sort of magnetic strip or something. Found in car parks and in shopping centres (Waitrose in Canary Wharf allows you to take them into the car park, but not into the shopping mall).

They're really effective (and f**king annoying if you parked in the car park next to the shop rather than the shop's car park).

Whoever would have guessed you would be asking technical questions about a trolley... there again I can't believe Matt took a picture of it (or that you're taking a Ford Focus on MegaHoon! hehe )
