That sort of thing happens to me too, it's not something that I would ever do deliberately. One of the downsides to the internet. So, I hope that the picture shows itself.

She has such an engaging smile, maybe serving in Costa wasn't the best choice of career for her though..

Phew, back to normality after the woman with the interesting party piece!
Time for a spot of tail lamp identifying methinks. Does the Transit have Toyota Corolla Liftback rear lamp clusters, circa 1999-2001(ish)?
I like the van, but this startling confession

B'stad!
I would, in fact I might, but not on the daily driver as its gear lever is visible through the windscreen when it's in Park or Reverse, so imagine what the innocent onlooker might think if they see my hand, gripped around a soft, pink thing and then vanishing slowly as I pull gently downwards into neutral and then into the Forward slot!
Thank goodness I have that once-discouraged driving habit of crossing my arms on the steering wheel, running that thing smoothly through my fingers when turning corners might not end well.

Rich, I've bought another modern Toyota as I went on the yahoo.jp cars section late at night, following a dose of flu medicine! This tiny car ticks every box. It looks like one too mind, but so does the full fat version that's been my daily for a year and a half now.
It's Kei class, so the engine is a 660cc triple and it's not quite blessed with the grunt of my 1300cc, 131bhp daily motor, but insurance - which will have to be a specialist thing as the provider of the bB's policy doesn't cover JDM stuff younger than the ten year IVA cutoff - is around the £130 mark from most of the companies that quote when I ask those damned meerkat puppets, so I'd keep the bB for trackdays and carrying things the size of pallets, which would give me even cheaper fuel use for day to day duties and yes, this means that a Metrocab could still be considered as a car for the shows. I should now have two moderns that cost virtually no more to run than the existing one, according to my calculations which are of course completely objective and in no way biased toward JDM motors.
I could write more, but have this link, which shows you an identically equipped car from the same auction house:

OK, so it's slightly narrower than the bB, but the front seat appears to be much the same width so it must simply have skinny doors. I asked the auction's English speaking agent whether the radio is faulty but he assured me that they can display other images than the one in the listing photos, phew!
