Putin gives his little friend a small Japanese hatchback

Everyone's favourite desperate despot (and Ash Sutton lookalike) has given another despot a Toyota Auris:

Although looking at the picture it looks more like a stretched Chrysler 300.
The BBC have the story here.

It's true, Vladimir Putin has gifted Kim Jong-Un an Aurus.

Maybe they should call it the "Kim John Uranus".

This is presumably toadying as Vlad needs to keep Kimmy on his good side.

Looking again at the story it would appear that "Kim Jong-un is believed to be a car enthusiast" - so not all bad then?

And it would also appear that the gift in question was not a Toyota but actually an Aurus limousine.

Bet Donny was jealous.

Moggie Minor Accident

This is actually about a Toyota Auris Private Hire taxi not a Morris Minor but the cat reference doesn't work otherwise.

Here is what happens when a Toyota Auris driver swerves to avoid a cat at 4 o'clock in the morning:

The rather brief BBC story is here.  It doesn't answer much.  For example, Was there really a cat? If there was a cat, what happened to it? and, How fast was the driver going to end up parked like that on a Jeep?

There were no injuries.

If you clicked on this story looking for a Minor bump, then these next two pictures should sate your desires.  If you were looking for a minor bump, then they will distress you.

This one was full of scrap en route to a Scrapyard in 2018:
This one allegedly rolled on the M20 in 2012:
In both cases, injuries to the drivers were minor.
