Wobland Spottage

Talking of old snotters, Paul's post of that Cavalier invoked the gods of coincidence and I encountered one going up our street yesterday morning. Far worse looking than that abandoned one and judging by the ladder and bucket on the roofbars, property of a local Sinbad.

Must be garaged. It's a car I've never tried. They reckon they're a decent steer.

It's just a Fiesta with a different lid hammered over the top isn't it?

I think so but they must be a fair bit lighter.

Edit. 849kg v 920kg.

A smaller one though, so you need a bigger hammer.

Oh, so that's why they are wider at the bottom.....

On the subject of Fezzer comparisons, a lady I used to work with changed her Fiesta every year or so. When the Ka came out she fell for its dumpy ovoid looks and ordered one. "I don't understand it" she told me. "My Fiesta was so nippy and this doesn't want to seem to go."

You'll have to thrash it a bit more, I told her, omitting the fact that the engine was something she would have given up about 3 Fiestas ago....

Just popped out for a bottle of milk and that was on the way. It looks like it just drove out the showroom.

Incidentally the 4 pints from the local dairy I just bought has gone from being £1.49 for 4 pints to £1.89 in 5 fucking weeks

Nah, not enough orange peel or rust for that.

Must be one of the very last Cooper S. Stunning.....

Pity I've not got use for any petrol, I've got a length of hosepipe to hand, easy target!

Just followed this up the road......I was hoping it would nip out of the traffic and into the river but sadly no.
