    Still not sure about the flame job. The original livery would have been fr more impressive. Copyright issues?


    BTW, the cat's called Jess.


    I used to work for a bloke who was obsessed by the ever increasing cost of postage:


    "And do you know why bastarding stamps are so bastarding dear? Do you? I'll tell you why! They just waste their money - our money - on any old shit! Look at Postman Pat! Why does he need a personalised number plate? Eh? PAT 1! How much do you think that cost?"

    Hey, this isn't that small, it's only an inch lower than the GT40! Rabble! Rabble rabble!


    He ought to do another one that has this one's footprint, but the height of the flatmobile. Now that would be impressive. You would have to hire hobbits to drive it, though.

    The flame job makes it look ridiculous.


    I remember reading a book, the title of which I can't remember, and in this book some kid stumbles upon a race of little people. I only mention this because the little people used a fire pit because fire can't minimized and be effective. Does anybody know the title?
