Have you ever seen anything weird being transported?

[PickUpFullOfPinkCarnations]

Last summer we were heading back from a day at the coast. There was an estate car in front of us which looked like it had a large dog in the back. As we got closer we realised it was a really small horse!
Have you seen anything strange while out and about?

In California we were driving on a country road behind a big orange truck. As we overtook, it turned out to be a truck sized load of carrots, perfectly strung and squared. No boxes, just carrots. A wall of them.

In Oxford I saw someone riding a bicycle using one hand - the other was holding a double bass.
And in Kampala I saw two people on a moped with a coffin strapped behind them. I'm assuming it was empty ...

A house. Not a tiny house. A proper house.

not sure if trailering a pony to a car jet wash to wash it counts (Asda) 😕

Massive (full) tanks of water and fish!

Almost identical situation but it was a tiger. This was in Nevada. We had a game of "follow that tiger" for a few blocks then lost sight of it at some traffic lights.

A train, it was the same company from Train Truckers and my son never forgave me for not taking him with that day

We were once stuck in a traffic jam on the M6 behind a large diesel locomotive on a trailer. Cue whiling away the traffic jam by making jokes about 'being hit by a train on the M6'.

@CostaDelOrchard Was it on the M6 about 12 years ago?

Thomas the Tank engine on the back of a lorry! 😂

We get really big stuff here. I can’t imagine this on an English road.

I've seen this lots it's adorable

We live near a very busy road and Thomas the Tank, a massive full sized one, went past so often I’m pretty sure there must have been several of them! Not seen it for ages actually, so maybe Thomas not so popular with modern toddlers!

Oh - cross posted! He used to go past here all the time! 😂

Once in Brazil saw a huge cow in the back of a small open top trailer. Saw it coming back later on..
In pieces..
Grim.

In Switzerland a cow being airlifted attached to a helicopter near the place Sherlock Holmes plunged to his death. In Cambodia at a petrol station a pig tied to the back of a moped. Alive and very loudly protesting. Both animals, pig was louder but arguably closer to us!

What I remember most about the Cambodia one was that the petrol station sold viagra and about ten different flavours of fishermen’s friends. The sweets, that’s not a euphemism.

On a motorway in northern France about a decade ago the estate car in front had an owl sat on a perch in their boot. It was definitely real as it was moving it’s head and shuffling on the perch.

They have regular Thomas days at our local heritage railway - not sure if it's one of their normal locos in fancy dress or a visit from Thomas in 'person'!

A train carriage (a bog standard blue British Rail one from the 1970s/1980s) on the back of a low loader.
A classroom for DS school . It was a temporary building/prefab thing.
A victorian carriage and a roman chariot on the same lorry (probably film props).

Two giraffes. They were in an open back truck and had a great view of the route 😃

We see all sorts here though. A few weeks ago there were a bunch of goats in the back of a pick up truck. I was behind it and I swear this one goat was staring right into my soul, and then stuck it's tongue out at me 😂.

It did make my day, and I am choosing to believe they were on their way to a nice home....

When I lived in Oman, a dumper truck used to go past my home twice a day, with it's bucket rammed with Pakistani workers bouncing along.
