Video: How not to unload a car from a lorry


Never underestimate the importance of a good ramp

It doesn’t appear to be a brand new Subaru, but that’s no reason to treat it like this.

Another reason why some people really shouldn’t have driver’s licences


Note to stupid person: you’re supposed to stay behind the wheel and in the car while driving

Bad news for our American readers - unfortunately, you share the same network of roads as this utter moron.

Want to buy David Beckham’s customised Bentley?


Mr B’s old Arnage T is up for grabs

David Beckham’s Bentley

Now that he spends most of his time helping to keep the Los Angeles Galaxy at or near the bottom of the MLS, David Beckham has little use for his once-beloved Bentley Arnage T. It’s the car he used to pick up his OBE from Buckingham Palace, and it is one of only two models that are pictured on the walls of the Bentley factory - the other belongs to some old lady called Elizabeth Windsor.

Becks paid £170,000 for the motor, and fitted £70,000 of extras, including folding rear picnic tables, a fridge and diamond cross handles. He also had a child seat made with ‘Brooklyn’ stitched on it, and had ‘Victoria’ stitched into the most random of places, the bit where the rear armrest goes.

Now the luxury car is up for grabs for a mere £99,000 at Motor Village in Dudley. If you have more money than sense, then get your chequebook out now. If not, enjoy some more pictures after the jump…

Grab yourself a Pimp My Ride hearse


£25,000 Ford Cardinal is up for sale

A 1983 Ford Cardinal hearse featured on MTV show Pimp My Ride has been put up for sale. The slightly grim luxury motor has more than £25,000 worth of gadgets inside it, including a back seat cinema. Jamie Rotherham, of Cornwall, bought the hearse for £500 to take his band Kernuyck to gigs. The band has now outgrown the hearse and have upgraded to a larger van to fit their equipment in. Jamie said:

“They completely rebuilt it, resprayed it and inside they put a racing steering wheel, leather interior, sound system and cinema. When we started the band the car was a bit different and perfect for transporting all the gear to gigs as we couldn’t afford a van.

“We have bought a van since then and it is much more practical. It will be a real shame to see it go but it would be much better in a motor museum.”

The hearse has been put up for sale for £6,500.
