Imagine how much useful space could be liberated there if some pilchard hadn't parked a Toyota in the luggage compartment! Pffft, some people! I'd have an extra large fresh water supply in there, I do like a wetroom session.

So do I, but, for me, a wet room session usually means watering the weeds after a skinful.

Hmm, someone shouldn't have been let loose with the Dalek. The Ambassador's bottles are so over pressurised that I'd give it one good speed humph and down she'll go! Nice car otherwise, but I'm having a Fridolin one way or the other. Still, at least GHT will be enjoying these shiny examples of BL's finest. :lol:

Gorgeous and as exceptionally tidy as that Escort is :P , my mind is made up and I'm hunting a Fridolin in solid condition and will have one, even if I have to buy from the USA without seeing the thing in the flesh before paying for it. The daily thing has given me the taste for importing unknown quantities from far off lands so seeing as that worked out well and was as described when I went to pick it up, what could possibly go wrong with buying a slightly older car from a country that speaks a version of English and uses the Latin alphabet?
:scared:


That said, I'm a sucker for a shiny thing so please chaps, keep the daft suggestions coming and possibly (though it's unlikely) there will be something equally suited to my particular requirements available more locally. ;)
