Freelander 1 Dangerous Pink Hippo

Has anyone else spotted the pink 3 door hippo stuck onto a disco and armed with a load of weaponry, that is doing the rounds on the promo material for the new show on Sky with Flintoff et-al? - a bit like a real life robot wars ...

Poor Freelander, ending it's life in such an undignified way.

you mean being on the programme? Or being welded to a disco

I dunno, going out with quite a bang really. Bit more fun than just blowing a head gasket and being dumped in a crusher

Well at least not as gay as to drive Victoria Beckham designer handbag holder Evogue I hear it equip with condoms and ky jelly.

The latter. But I suspect the programme won't do the Freelander's image much good either. At least it's only on a minor channel.

looks a bit like a life sized robot wars to me

No Freelander should ever be treated as cruel as this. The shame of having disco parts on it is bad enough. Being connected to half of a disco is too much to contemplate. I would never park ma hippo next to a disco int supermarket carpark for fear of bits of rust/chassis dropping oft next to him.

At least we’re safe in the knowledge that when the Freelander is resting in its final location… it won’t be long until the disco part has rusted away to nothing so the Freelander can be happy again.
