That's a relief. I was sincerely concerned.

Are we sure it's fake?

Looks like somewhere in the UK. What does our resident Scot say?

He was the one who said it was fake.

I'm here, for the moment. But this time next week, I'll be there. Or something.

I'm pretty confident that the pictures of the first two vehicles are real (pictures 1-6), after that it's a clear p'shop job, if you look closely. You can see blurring in the penultimate one, on the ground where the people had been - plus, check out the green van; it has the same perspective every time it appears, even in the water. The blue van at the end is the original green van, coloured differently.

I googled the truck firm; they're in Galway, Ireland. http://www.irishtrucker.com/articles/20 ... r/long.asp

...apparently, I need to get laid more.

Part real, part fake, as per Snopes.

But, hey, this is Ireland. A Scot would have either brought the right size crane in the first place, or let the bloody estate wagon wash out to sea.

Right Spike?

We're a helpful bunch, really. Unless you go to Edinburgh; lovely architecture, crappy people.
