If thee can find me a more orange orange, (plus supply the paint and thinners, and arm power to flat it back) I'll gladly paint it again! :lol:

No comment! :lol: ;)

Mind you, technically my licence does cover me to drive a three wheeled one as bizarrely, the tricycle VED class doesn't sub divide vehicles into manual and automatic categories so - thanks to that loophole - I could have something with three pedals for the first time in five years. Oh no, lock up your pets and any elderly relatives, I feel an idea coming on! :shock:

Naturally I'd need new legs too so am now appealing for donors. Anyone have a set they don't use much? Office workers and Polises spring to mind as potential donors....


Sorry Rob, for going all Reliant in your world of Dolomite-related orangeness. Terry started it! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
