So, where's the photo of you, Les, the D5 with beers in hand?

Ha! thanks Mick.

Here we are having a beer talking about how he doesn't need his garden tools on the bonnet while driving around the city, but that he loves having his shovel handy for planting tomato's at this time of year down at the shack. :p

He was surprised to hear that the spy pics purporting to be of the new D5 are actually interchangeable for either the new 2018 Defender, 2018 Disco Sport or 2018 Range Rover Sport, and that you can't get gold plated bonnet tool holders for any of them! :D

Where are you?

Oh, here you are:

Ran out of beer, hey?

Looks like he's got tool brackets on the bonnet there.

Oh, I think you need one of these:

Unfortunate as it sounds, with a Perentie Vs pedestrian crash at that speed, the tools would be the least of their worries.

Indeed.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned the lifting eyes on the bullbar which would do a lot more damage.

Might have something to do with the thread title.

Oh, look, the bull bar was mentioned earlier in this thread.

I'm surprised people haven't mentioned the 'tools' behind the wheel! The most dangerous tool there is ;)

i think its a loose nut behind the wheel.

Fascinating read, always is when rulemakers get involved and then much more is revealed than is posted ....😀


Most issues aren't until someone wants to make it so 😀

Why do none of these pedestrian impaling reduction measures apply to motorcycles?

You'd have to look at the appropriate legislation. So far no one has offered it for perusal. Of course, any such legislation should be accompanied with the appropriate definitions and explanations.
