I've seen them in ix35s up here. As well as plenty of iMax (or iLoads)
The i30 seems to be the weapon of choice for councils and government departments, though.

The parking bays in UK are small believe me, I was recently over there.  They have to squash a lot of motors on their limited road space. :whistler: :rolleyes:  I always thought it was a bonus if I could find a car space in England recently, and one nearly always had to put a couple of pounds in the meter.   'Park and pay' gone mad. :blubber:

UK members who are sad enough to watch* the soap known as "Emmerdale" will see the local force has upgraded to a GDH i30. It looks really smart, all liveried up :)



*Disclaimer: I'm not that sad, but I occasionally get the foghorn shouting "Steve... there's another one like yours", only for me to reply "It's the same bloody one as last time - they only have the one car :rolleyes:"

Unlike the 60's show, "Skippy" the bush kangaroo. They aren't easy to train, so it was cheaper to round up wild skips from the bush and let them go after filming.  :lol:

The Kangaroos seen on the show were different ones, not a singular entity, like lassie or mr ed.
