You cant just park it up in the street you know, you'll need quite a large garage to keep it nice n dry......

LOL didn't the Top Gear three make one..............out of a Reliant Robin?

Bob


Re the mileage, Air miles probably quite high, But I doubt if the road wheels have done as much as 2,000

LOL Mac

Several years ago when M'whinnie was our MP at April time.... he had a spoof about the shuttle landing at our local US/RAF base......

Alconbury.......

LOL with the A1 at one end and the main line railway at the other, there wouldnt be any room for Under/Overshooting.
Mind you they DID fly U2's from there.....but sadly I never got to see one

If you can afford 28.8 million, you can afford your own tax and MOT!
