Is a prairie on the drive yet John?

Funny you should ask that, Rich.. No, there's no movement on the extra vehicle front as yet. I'm still looking at anything and everything that comes close to being suitable. I travelled all the way down the coast to something called "Hull" a couple of days ago to check out a Reliant Metrocab but when I got there, the thing turned out not to be a Reliant-built one, came with a very rotten chassis and someone had dropped a pizza on the carpet in the back, which didn't smell all that good and had already been attracting the rodent population. Oh, and the gearbox was slipping in reverse, the brakes were seized on and the roof had been cracked by the seller's son, who'd mistaken the cab for a trampoline. Naturally, the ba57ards hadn't thought to tell me any of this before I set off to view the thing.

i went to hull once to look at an austin metropolitan... dragged a trailer over 450 miles for a car we were afraid to offer £10 in case he accepted...

There you go, no more neighbour problems:

Hmm, not so keen on that.. Unless they do it in a nice '70s beige or maybe orange with orange stripes.

Beige & nice are not two words that you should use in the same sentence. Beige is boring, beige is bland, beige is banal, beige is B/L.

Possibly one of the worst photoshops ever. Anyway, there's no such thing as beige. Sandglow is the correct term.

Crappy nappy yellow is better.

And for your delectation is this howler.
