There's a company in America that builds replica Batman cars. I want one so desperately. Unfortunately it's also useless for driving in Englands Green and Dampened Land because....
a - There's no roof whatsoever
b - It's too big for british roads
c - it's got a flamethrower at the back
d - it wouldn't pass Single Vehicle Approval on import
e - No-one would like me anymore
f - I'd be arrested for impersonating a law enforcement officer
g - Vigilantes, even thiose with cool lycra suits, masks, and capes, are not allowed in British law
i - It might frighten small children
j - It would indoctrinate the remaining small children into the Cult of Adam West
k - it costs lots of money. Not only the purchase, but the running costs of a lazy fuel-inefficient V8, replacement parts that require import, and generally reconstructing the vehicle on a sunday morning after the vandals have had a drive round the block.
