I saw a John Deere tractor yesterday, it passed at speed and I didn't get a good look, so I had a look on the web for some pictures.

Have a look at the first picture, do these look familiar to anybody?

I thought it was a new type of mum-truck. Maybe its going to be the next craze for the mum-truck brigade. They can't buy much bigger than that!

OH Deere !

SSSHH..........Keep it down we have to be careful, as this is how in sheep like fashion they all copied each other, and against common sense decided that a 4 X 4 seemed to them to make more sense, than a well designed space efficient (unlike the 4 X 4) people carrier.

Surely this has to be the ultimate mum truck

This one has Citroen hydraulics on the rear axle and it can go fairly fast too! The brochure says 40mph, but I was following one that was doing 50mph once, albeit downhill.

540/65 R38 tyres on the front, 710/70 R38 at the back I wonder whether you can get cromed spinners in 38 inch sizes?

I would mind having Santa popping one of those out for Christmas

Squashed schoolkid anyone? can you imagine the size of the attitude problem that the mum-truck owner driving that would have? If that got double-parked in belsize park there would be mayhem! Could you imagine?

I still think that the mums that buy these pick-up trucks with the flat-bed tailgates look the silliest at school-run time. It's almost a 'Look at me, I'm a farmer you know......' Har bloody har you stupid biddy! Do you realise how stoooopid you look putting your shopping in the loadbed a sainsburys? Its for builders you know.....to put all their bricks and tools in....it's not a status symbol, and no I'm not getting out of your way, giving you respect(nissan owners), or giving you attention(el-cheapo can't afford a proper 4x4 far eastern something owner). You are a very sad bunch of up-your-own-a**e merchants. I dont care if you try to charge me down, tailgate or intimidate me. You truck will always be smaller than my van..SO BOG OFF!
