In Fact its been in shot may a time in coast:)
Way cooler than my Series 2 Landrover

Or that Phil just moves it over for him so the digger can get through in them grubby cut of jean shorts, pwarrrr i bet they kick up a right pong!!! And i bet he put the stinky hat with the sweat patch on the front on the other seat before he jumped back out and downed 15 pints of mild in the pub after a hard days rummaging in the soil, side burns flapping in the wind etc
