[Closed] Trail Centre Vehicle Trends This Week*

Surrey Hills car parks seem to be all vans now and many with some kind of sponsorship, or they just like sticking their favourite brand logo all over their vans.

It's no more about the Audi 😉

At least one of them has descent taste and drives an iconic vehicle.

The Landrover isn't complete without a snorkel, and a cargo-cage on top.

I'm sure all those bike riders will be pleased that you stuck their number plates and vehicles up on-line for them.

Yes, well done on showing the reg plates, that'll be targeted bike thefts over the next month or so

I'm not sure why putting number plates on line is seen as an issue. I can look out of my window and see cars with number plates on without having to resort to looking on the internet.

Aye but you dinnae ken what your neighbours have .... Now the whole wide internet knows these guys probably have some nice pricy bikes...

id be more worried about my nice clean 08 defender being stolen than my bike tbh.

needs a winch too.

With a quick bit of reasonable sounding bollards and a form submission the full details of the registered keeper can be found, which folks now know have shiny bikes in them for the taking

If you were into stealing bikes couldnt you just take a drive round any trail centre car park and get lots of number plates that way?

What have Diane and Ken got to do with anything?

So which forum members are thieves then?

Diane and ken by the sounds of it legend 🙂

[s]me[/s], err, him
<points>

"I'm sure all those bike riders will be pleased that you stuck their number plates and vehicles up"

Maybe they shouldn't drive their cars in public then. 😉

I'm quite amazed that someone decided to take photos of cars that don't belong to him/her, give them marks out of ten and then post them on the internet together with a few "look how cool I am comments".
What a great life they must lead if this is worthy of a thread 🙄

"With a quick bit of reasonable sounding bollards and a form submission the full details of the registered keeper can be found, which folks now know have shiny bikes in them for the taking"

One of them might be mine.......

They're probably all registered as company cars anyway, probably registered to "Surrey I.T Consultants Ltd" or something.

Which one is the ops car...? Nope itll be the sanctimonious octavia in the corner.

The OP hasn't even stated what their ENDURO hauler is!?

WHHOOOOOOSHHHH!!!!

I'm so chuffed this thread fulfilled its aims so quickly. "smug chortle"

Curious, shirley you'd be taking photos of the bikes and not the vehicles they may (may not) have come in?

Just sayin'

Why would you even bother doing this? Forget the number plate issue (if it was my car I would find it annoying) but to go out of your way to take pics to deliberately put on a forum with ratings of what you think and judge people by is quite frankly a bit weird.

I can't help but wonder what interesting antics you have planned for this afternoon. Maybe take some pics of people's trolleys at the checkouts at Tesco?

So it's just me then. 😳 Thought everybody did that.

Why would you even bother doing this?

Coz it's funny, and if you don't think its funny it's because you don't get it - apparently

I was in Coed-y-Brenin forest for cake and tea recently and I thought I would do some STW policing of the vehicles people had arrived in

How do you know they weren't just there for tea and cakes and didn't have bikes with them?

"Coz it's funny, and if you don't think its funny it's because you don't get it - apparently"

BINGO! 😉

What a great life they must lead if this is worthy of a thread

I agree, surely starting you own thread about how being the chosen "ONE" in deciding what is worthy of being posted would be far better. 🙄

At least one of them has descent taste and drives an iconic vehicle.

Heh.. Nearly took my own STW/car related photograph yesterday

A BMW Chelsea tractor with the 'give bikes more space' sticker and a tour de Yorkshire sticker..

I sort of get the thread and the spirit it was meant in.

Unfortunately, it's lack of content and poor attempt at humour gives it a 2/10 for me.

Show us your vehicle of choice, so we can add some ridicule OP 😉

The OP has already suggested that one of the vehicles is his

Oh yeah, missed that bit....soz

Land Rovers are totally impractical bike transports

I thought they only let T5's in if they were rolling 20's? That's why I've stayed away.

...deliberately put on a forum with ratings of what you think and judge people by is quite frankly a bit weird.

Mine would win in the impracticability stakes - swallows 4 bikes with wheels off, 4-5 people and luggage and erm.... no room for bikes

You'd be frothing if you saw me turn up with a bike rack on the back 😉

FTFY 😉

I know you fancy me Junky, but you don't have to broadcast it so publicly...

sorry OP but your totally wrong,landrover only deserves a 5/10 as it's not covered in shite as it's meant to be, with or without the extra bits.
must remember not use my transporter for biking as it's only a shitey old T4 on 18" 8)

My car has Rockshox and Sustrans stickers on the back. That's a dead giveaway I reckon, it's amazing I've got any bikes left.....

This one must be a solid 8/10!

Skoda Superb estate, 4x4, Tour De France special edition and big black alloys.

STW perfection?

From an old post on here

I know whose Transporter that is in the first post. You should see the inside of it- it's upholstered with faux leopard print material throughout. Very classy 😉

Why would you even bother doing this? Forget the number plate issue (if it was my car I would find it annoying)

Genuine question, why would you find it annoying ?

I found myself parked in a line of 4 nearly identical scabby mud encrusted mondeos yesterday. MY PEOPLE! And an A4 with a roofrack on. OUR ENEMY!

Land Rovers are totally impractical bike transports

I have to disagree,110 hard top held three bikes,riders,pressure stove, n associated brew kit,but not coed n brenin,further south down BRECFA with the Beast.

 

Next time I go to Glentress I plan on borrowing one of these #moreendurothanyou

Tiger, that porsche would win hands down if it had a tow bar and a Jet stram caravan on the rear 😀

thought jokes were meant to be funny ❓

Excellent .
You need a STW dayglow tabbard to wear while you do the policing tho'.
Is yours the caddy?

When are we going to get a "like" button?
This is funny. 😆

Good to see a transporter making an appearance. THey seem to be the chumps vehicle of choice for day in The Lakes. I nearly got cleaned up by one near Grizedale a couple of hours ago whilst out on the road bike; obviously in a rush to get back to the M6. I assume it was a MTBer anyway; it had some stickers on the back doors.

I understand you all wanted to see my car. So I took a picture.

I was a bit worried it might not look STW enough so I just did a little photoshop to improve the look of it. I don't think you'll notice though.

Deffo a STW car. Fat front tyre on the bike.

😆 @robdob

I like cars and I enjoy some trail centre riding, but I'm struggling to have any opinion on this whatsoever.

STW users going to trail centers in fancy cars/to take pictures of fancy cars - they're all still going to trail centers.

Textbook

Ro don, Lexus rear lights please and shame on you... Indicator bulbs ffs !

robdob, valves and logos, valves and logos. That's all I have to say on the matter.

Not only is mine a Vauxhall, it's also dirty...

nil points

very funny thread...well done 😆

Jesus I,m a chump 😕

Funny thread, I laughed.

Number plates are also available in your local supermarket car park.

I've always managed with a hatchback with the seats down. Is that a 0 out of 10?!

The VW Transporter owner is already telling the world he owns a carbon yeti with that number plate!

Rear lights changed. Sorry chaps.

Sticking up photos of objects of desire on the net and giving them a rating that you and your mates can argue over? Nah, definitely no future in that line of thinking.

99.99% of the world will just read it as 'tosser'

99.99% of [s]the world[/s] judgmental STW forumites will just read it as 'tosser', the rest of the world wont give a toss

8/10 thread

Really Sherlock?

Funny how the OP has obscured his own reg number 🙂

I know the bloke with the T5 and ridin with him many many times, I dont think he will be too impressed he has had his van with his reg plate splashed all over the net!

splashed all over the net!

How big do you think the internet is?

Brilliant thread, made me chuckle on a Monday morning 😆

Disappointed to see there were no photos of the rear of the landrover to see the "one life, live it sticker"

"Trail Centre Vehicle Trends......[i][b][u]This Week[/u][/b][/i]"

well if its going to be a weekly post the Guinea Pigs have a great sense of humour and enormous powers of poo - will save me wandering out to the recycling bin to look for candidates Ctrl + P

Disappointed to see there were no photos of the rear of the landrover to see the "one life, [s]live it[/s] spend it cleaning every last speck of mud off your Land Rover" sticker
