Not sure if I should, but I find it quite funny.

Police said it would find the safest means to remove the 4x4, which was found last Thursday.
The force added that it would review how to remove the Vauxhall Frontera on Monday.

Get in it and drive the bloody thing back down the mountain,dear oh dear.

They used the most expensive method they could think of to claim the money from the bloke that did it to teach him a hard lesson.

No different than an Isuzu Trooper, and farmers seemed to like those back in the 80's.

Couldn't they just leave it up there to rust away? It is a Vauxhall!

I thought Fronteras had a 2.0 litre Cavalier engine. Hardly the powerplant required for mountain climbing.

They are completely different, the Frontera is based on the Isuzu Cameo, not the Trooper

Charged with dangerous driving, like to see how the police are going to prove that one.

I don't really understand why he has done this again?

It didn't seem like a great idea when he did it before. It got a fair number of comments on BBC Wales last time but this time only a passing mention.

The news is just noise until its time for the weather. Behnaz Akhgar is so very lovely.

He should say he was abducted by aliens and they dropped him off. It would be believable compared to a Frontera at the top of a mountain

So would you drive a heap like that down a mountain, not knowing what condition its brakes and suspension are in? Or would you be happy to assume everything was fine based on the fact it had got that far up the mountain? I would assume the Police (sensibly) used a trailer to ensure no ones life was put in danger an the vehicle wasn't damaged. Common sense really.

Presumably because of the element of risk involved to both the driver and any members of the public if they lost control...
