....Hmmm, If an Essex V6 'puts it out' like an Essex Girl then it must be one Hairy (..rather than Brazilian) Ride.

:idea: Note... Been in one - in Carpet Crush mode - with N.E. CapriClub rep..... many, many moons ago ;)

:idea: Note2... also been in a 2.8i (the white one, with the engine 'photoprinted' onto the bonnet... in the days before screen printed vinyl) and the guy just wanted to drive by the 'Spanish City', in Whitley bay, playing DireStraits....'Tunnel of love' >> the song having been inspired by a ride in the funfair.
