Driveway Turntable

"Have you ever worried about reversing out of your driveway onto a busy road"

Er........no.

"Well, worry no more - buy a Nationwide Driveway Turntable"

:? :shock: :roll:

"But, it's recommended by John Stalker"

Oh well, give me two.

Whatever next...

I saw that advert too - I thought it was a Viz-type joke at first. I think it looks brilliant though. We could club together to get a Marlborough Street one, as it is impossible to turn here in anything less than 17 manouvres.

I wonder how much they're paying the copper to recommend it.

There is a house on the main road in Comely Bank (next to the Sony Centre) which has one. Great idea on a busy road like that.

Why not have a car with controls front and back. Like the front halves of two cars welded together.

No more U-turns or reversing.
