Strike a pose. Not a car!

Observe the Vogue model Range Rover, popular with footballers for it’s additional luxury, including heated leather front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, DVD navigation, digital TV, and a 14-speaker digital surround system. Probably the main reasons why Chelsea’s Joe Cole splashed out £50k on it in the first place.

He probably wasn’t too fussed about it’s knee airbags, side-intrusion beams and seatbelt pretensioners, but those are the features that saved Joe from a potentially life-threatening shunt the other day, when a lorry smashed into his motor while he was sat in traffic on the way to training. You’ll all be relieved to know he escaped with only a sore arm. You are relieved aren’t you?
