The bartenders love him (and most dogs). If I go without him people ask where he is.

I had a toy like this over 40 years ago. Of course I just wound it up and let it go but it flew well.

I bring my dog to the bar whenever I go. I will post a picture later.

The actual city of London is tiny. It is very small part of of what is considered London

But it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever

I believe this a part of the plan.

They don't have as much profit as large trucks. Capitalism strikes again.

Curious, why do you need a small truck?

When I first moved to Los Angeles I was amazed at all the small trucks still being used. NY road salt destroys them so I hadn't seen any in years. The small Toyotas and Rangers are loved by gardeners and the prices they command show it.

The trucks appeal is its utility. The bed is lower than any US truck. the sides and tail drop down for easy access. The bed is just as big as a regular truck. They often come in 4WD. The engine is tiny so they sip gasoline. Most important is they are very cheap.

As I said in the beginning, this is what I thought of.

The Mini, Yaris, and many other modern cars pass crash -test standards. I do not consider them big.

They used the "Chicken Tax" to remove light trucks on the 80s, not emissions issues.

Ford used to skirt the law by having Transits made in Europe shipped to the US as passenger vehicles. Once in the states they would recycle the seats and replace the rear windows with panels.
