This is why 4x4's were introduced to Surrey! LOL!

I guess the tree branch voids the extended warranty.

Ray, seehttp://www.pbase.com/john_cooper/image/65638714 I took a series of photos of this garden. The story as told to me by a local who lives very close.. The man who owns this house is quite rich, he also owns another house in the village with more cars in the garden. He owns a lot of property in Westcott. His neighbours at the other house being unhappy with all the cars there complained to the council. The council removed all the cars, almost all Jaguars and took them away. He immediately purchased a lot more Jaguars to replace them. I think he is what we would call an "Eccentric". By a complete coincidence I drove through Westcott today. And this evening saw your photo.
