A mum desperate for a Range Rover has had other drivers in hysterics with a simple £5 solution. Becky Toth, who lives in Blackley, has 'always loved' the pricey SUVs, but quickly realised she couldn't afford one when she passed her driving test two years ago.
Instead, she took out a loan for a small and more affordable Peugeot 108 and spent £5 on a Range Rover sticker from eBay for the rear bumper.
The 34-year-old mum-of-one, who drives to south Manchester every day for work, says drivers regularly pull over beside her and tell her they love her car - and even take their phones out at red lights to snap a picture.

She said the 'funny gag' makes people laugh and 'cheers them up on their way to work'. With used Range Rover Evoques typically selling for upwards of £15k, Becky had to stick to her budget and instead spent £8,000 on her smaller Peugeot.
"I always loved Range Rovers, specially the Evoque model but after I got my license and started looking I realised even the used ones go for around £16-20k so I had to stick to my budget and bought the Peugeot 108," Becky told the Manchester Evening News.
"I bought a sticker off eBay and put it on my tiny car. It's a funny gag and I can't believe how much attention I've been getting in the past two years.
"People pull up to me every day to shout over laughing that they love my car. I see people pulling their phones out behind me at red lights a dozen times a day.
"I believe I paid £5 for the sticker. It's just a silly little thing but does make people laugh. Sometimes I forget how small my car is, I'm so used to telling people I drive a Range Rover, then I show them a picture and they say it's brilliant.
