aston martin also had a mountain bike to show off the shooting brake vantage or something. as a rather keen mountain biker once long ago, i had a look at it and tore it to pieces from a technological pov, also the porsche mountain bike was of a similarly poor design. ......and please what is with all this "Bentley Boys" nonsense!, WO must be turning in his grave!

Land Rover have even got a Pram in their catalogue. It is one of those combat trouser wearing mum off road type prams though.

That's odd - why is a Land Rover catalogue advertising RAV4s?
