Does anyone else find the smug triumphalist smile on the car rather inappropriate?

Some of these have been seen before, but there are plenty of new ones here, too.

I'm not sure if the person who put hte sign 'This toilet is out of order. Apologies for the inconvenience' was into bad puns or just missed it totally..

I am told that on the Col des Chandeliers in Niger there is a sign warning of "Piste dangereuse pour 200 km".  To which has been added:

"Not if we can cycle it!  Rog & Tony, 7/2/87"

They must have been BRITONS.
