Default Your mission, should you choose to accept it

... is to photobomb your local dealer's XC90 display with your own car.

It's just a bit of summer fun.

I'll start the ball rolling with my attempt. I parked mine up alongside two rather nice XC90s outside Mill Volvo, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, whilst I ate my lunch earlier, (photo attached), so I was there about 15 mins or so, (grinning all the while like a cheshire cat).

I half expected someone to come running over to tell me to shift it, but no. In fact, a salesman taking a customer for a test drive saw us and smiled, so I got away with it and you can too. Probably.

So the bar has been set, who else is up for this?

Thanks FD.

In my rush to post earlier, I left out the second best bit - the planning - this didn't just 'happen'.

First I had to work out where I wanted mine to end up parked. Then I had to get it there without being seen, caught or stuck.

The bank is a bit steeper than it appears in the photo, so I was worried that if I just drove up it, I might get stuck, damage the grass or worse, have to abandon in which case I'd have lost the element of suprise.

So I actually started my ascent 50+ metres down the road opposite the Nissan dealership where there is a track cut into the bank. So up we went, (adrenilin pumping), then I crept along the top, round behind the other two cars and parked up.

Mission accomplished!
