"You are what you drive" is a familiar saying in the automotive industry. On the campaign trail, what's on wheels may say something a party's standing, its sense of itself ... and how much money it has to spend.

The Liberal bus puts Gerry Reid front and centre (actually, he's to the left of the centre of this side, which may be appropriate).
The New Democrats have never been known for the high-flying ways of their political cousins. Here's a snap we got of Lorraine Michael, exiting from Quidi Vidi Lake this weekend after speaking to a crowd at an annual AIDS fundraising walk.
Well, one could never accuse the New Democrats of living beyond their means.
