I wonder if he made it like that himself or if, like my mother in law,
he bought a pikeymobile because it was cheap? MiL bought a Renault 5
Gordini Turbo with every chav accessory in the catalogue added. It's
horrible, but she only paid pennies for it because no one else would buy
it and the boy racer who owned it couldn't afford the insurance (For him
they wanted over 3K pa. For her SAGA want a premium of £100 fully comp.)

So she's happy and she says she doesn't care what the other old dears
down at the old people's dance club think. She got stopped a few times
by plod, not that she was doing anything wrong, just an automatic plod
reaction to a KevCar. I think the policemen were startled to find that
the car was being driven by a diminutive, stick-like, blue rinse fairy.

I followed this for 10 miles or so this afternoon down the A64 at a 'making
progress' pace. It sounded rather awesome.

(Warning worst photo ever - phone seemed to scale it for some reason...)

there ever was one. Did you check out the state of the bollards and other
street furniture there? It does tell a tale of bravery overcoming
skill.....of these lads showing off on the weekends in their poor handling
pieces of chav'd up shite.

I try and spend as little time as possible in Melksham. Hate the place,
the store is dark, old and depressing.

I *really* hope we decide it's not profitable to operate from there.

I'll look out for the bollards next time I'm there.
