Dear God!!! Katie Price's pink lorry

Found her previous one

So which do you prefer?
 
My 6yo just said - "Ooooh! I HAVE to have it for my Shadow!!!" (her pony) "When we win the lottery can we buy one please mummy?"

To be fair the box is gorgeous, I don't like the colour, but I guess she has to make sure she gets the attention.
 
QR I am not a huge lover of pink as I have never been a girly-girl but I do actually like that box. I have just had a peak at some of her clothing too. Some are nice, but equally some are very overpriced, especially some of the horse range products. But having said that there are a lot of rich horse owners out there, titters

Hi friends,

Did you all hear Steve Wright this afternoon, recorded interview with Katie Price?

(personal view is Katie Price still came across as one of the most egotistic guests ever - me, me, me - but stating otherwise...)

Anyhow, she was flogging her latest book, and her latest line in pink wagons (I asked our huge macho green Deutsch tractor his views - he said he can tow any wagon off our land, but he doesn't do pink wagons,

he says it clashes with his green

, so don't come round here, my dears!)
 
And, during none of this discussion...

has anyone mentioned performance, reliability, safety features for horse, living, etc, even the make of the wagon. Is it a tilt-cab? What size engine? Fuel capacity? Fuel consumption? Definitive weight when loaded? (Weight is an important thing with wagons, and often loaded weight is a problem) HGV licence? Tacho? Loads of unanswered questions,

All you girls have talked about is the colour.

And there's me, an old blonde... Oh, how you've let me down, girls.

All i can say is thank god for an old jalopy and an old Rice trailer, which i will now take even more opportunities to reverse into ridicuously tight places, lest us ladies lose all credibility...

Katies lorry is based on a Brand new 09 plate Iveco Eurocargo - 75 e 18s - Fully auto gearbox. Its 180BHP, with full tilt cab facility. Gross weight is 7.5 tonnes, so Non - HGV. Tacho exempt but card fitted.

Fuel consumption of approx 28 to the gal. The unladen weight approx 6 tonnes.

It was built to order by Prestige horseboxes and is stalled for 3 with full luxury living and a superb horse area of course it is a fabulous build.

Dave and John who own Prestige Horseboxes are brilliant (nearly as good as us!!! hehe) and has lots of lovely extras fitted to the lorry at katies request.

The build is lovely - the colour may not be to everybodys taste but I am assured that the interior (our upholsterer did this for her) and looks amazing in the flesh.
 
more money than sense, it'l probably only get used a handfull of times, its probably just a novelty item she felt like buying herself....ah what it is to have money lol..its not that bad though, id be seen in it

i didn't choose that colour personally but probably a very shrewd business move by Katie Price, if i had her money i might buy one for just a handful of journeys too. I like my box but that one is fantastic!!!!!!
 
Don't really car about the lorry, but did anyone see the picture underneath - of her riding on the road with no hat on? That got me very cross.

Hi pathelschoice,

Thanks for the technical info. I was genuinely surprised that nobody had asked!

But - i do think it'd be overweight, with 3 big horses. Max 2, as there are nice fittings in the living (which all weigh something), may be legal, i don't know - need a weighbridge!

(I personally wouldn't want an automatic in a wagon, but that's a purely personal thing.)

It's just a warning to be very careful, to all friends. I've had a few friends pulled in, innocently driving non-HGV + been told they're overweight. (Oh god, that sounds like they're all fat, + it took a cop to point it out!!

)

Get a local, trusted mechanic's view! (Having said that, i once knew somebody whose husband drove + serviced HGVs, but she went + bought a non-tilt non-HGV when he was away...... the marriage did eventually recover...

)

All bests, BS x
 
Hi Anakin,

Very good point, friend, and well spotted! Riding on a road without a hat is something even i don't do! But Katie has a photo of herself doing exactly that. I only hope that young people don't see it, and copy her bad example.

My heart actually goes out to Katie if Health+Safety/BHS/Mark Davies Fund/Injured Jockeys/parents of girls who worship her/any wandering MP looking to divert press from expenses/etc, etc notice the same thing! Not a good example, and i don't think anyone could argue with that.

All bests, BS x
 
I like it , its much better than our horsebox and our trailer and at least its a nice pink ( unlike some of her clothing on derby house website ! )
anyway , im sure 2 mares and my gelding ( yes he is camp ) would love turning up at p.u.k in it :P <font color="purple"> </font>
