Gawd, why do I do these things?
Seemed a good idea last night, when I agreed to buy a Reliant Robin for
fifty quid.
It's a "Super"; W reg; estate sort of shape; Trotter's yellow; no MOT,
but reasonably tidy; 45,000 miles on the clock.
Was it my imagination, or did I read that they are now surprisingly
sought after?

OK, you can stop laughing now.

No really, that's enough.

Look, I don't care, I'm not listening.

Bastards!

So what do you call a Robin with twin exhausts?



A wheelbarrow....

I'm just watching a Robin rear axle on Ebay going for more than I'm
paying for the whole car, so it doesn't look as though I'll have much
trouble turning a profit. Seems some bits are snapped up by trike builders.

Nah - Skoda has one too many wheels at the front for that.

much like they were saying :

How was your head this morning? Bit hung over, were we?

It was your imagination.

Shan't.

Isn't.

Won't stop us.

Yup.

I'm pleased to note that I'm not the only one who makes silly purchasing
decisions when pissed - I managed to buy a new Chinese dirt bike on ebay
last night. My pissed buying was a tad more expensive, though ;-)

The worrying thing is, I hadn't even been drinking. Much.

Ah well, at least it'll be useful for making my kids behave - or would
threatening to take them to school in it be a criminal offence these days?

Apparently the engines are sweet little alloy jobs good for putting in
hovercrafts and the like.

pity you need a bike license to drive one these days.
could always change the engine in it for a 2L then watch the looks on the
street boy racers at the green traffic lights.
