What the hell were you searching for Mark???  

Inspired by the Popemobile, I just thought it would be interesting to see what came up closer to home on ebay motors by typing in "buggy" - aside from a couple of beach buggies, that was what came up next.   That said, that sort of thing could prove useful in June..............

Hi Fran, I'm delighted (though not really surprised) to hear that a Commer was involved in a such a outrageous scandal. I should have thought the sight of a man in a Commer lurking around the entrance a convent school would be enough to make any Head Teacher dial 999. The fact that you were expelled by the Big Cheese Nun speaks volumes for your sense of rebellion and it'll be a pleasure to meet you at LM.

I used to go to school with a vicious nun like that. It's not this one by any chance is it?

We had a catholic priest at school who was all fun and games on the outside, but there was a viscious bastard lurking just under the surface. I think all the beatings and punishment stuff were born out of sexual frustration. I mean, it's not natural is it?  Huh

Oh, by the way everyone, I dug the Commer out of her grief pit at the weekend. After a quick tow start to free the seized up drum brakes and clutch, I'm delighted to say I soon had here flying up and down the road. The starter motor has packed up (£22 exchange for a new one) and the speedo cable snapped so i couldn't see how fast (slow?) I was going. But oither than that, everything seemed pretty much ok. Next stop, MOT station....

Is this MOT a prelude to her making the pilgrimage this year? I thought you had retired her

987 posts and you decide not to retire her. Do you realise the amount of time and effort that everyone has put into trying to find a replacment for you ? Well thank you very much Andy. I think an appology is in order, oh and a few beers.
