As much as I admire layout-builders' creativity and skill there are only so many times I can see the vastly overdone railway-bridge-and-bus-going-over-it combo.

Instead, why not have an underbridge (if that's a word) and have a go at modelling this:

I think everyone's being a bit harsh.

I mean they're from Land Rover, there's a fair chance they left the factory like that, if they didn't then it's probably improved the panel fit and stopped the sun roofs from leaking.

Oh, and it can't have made them any less reliable either!

Must be a REALLY low bridge if a range rover won't fit underneath.

You could always copy Brunei's unique 3 bridges at SOUTHALL, with road over canal over rail.?

Not quite a Range Rover but there's this creation in Grimsby which is often hit...

It's a staggeringly low 2.4m, a height at which I duck my head even when cycling under it.

Favourite bit from the report is where they say "It is believed he had been transporting scrap." If he wasn't before, he is now.

Your point being...? No big deal in itself, many web sites do it's nothing to be paranoid about.      It's a local paper website, they are always swarming with cookies, adverts and other rubbish to the point it becomes difficult to actually read the article.
