    the one near High Wycombe. Or it might sitting in Tring.

    Or perhaps someone has had dealings with Worthington & Son and can pass
    comment.

    Much appreciate anyone looking a vehicle over for general condition and
    wear/tear before I rush down with a bucket of £20's.

    It appears LPG Outlanders are De-Rigueur and all fine gentlemen should own
    one. Well, if you want a tow car or to mount a motorcycle rack that is.

    Yes yes I know it's another vehicle but the MR2 is promised and the Saab
    Aero Cab will be on it's way v.soon

    The Saab is going to hurt a little (lot). 18 months ago it was £12.5k. Now
    it's £8k with 18 months platinum warranty remaining. 25% per annum. Jeez I'd
    forgotten how much non 911 depreciation was. It's a fucking good deal for
    someone, but one can't buck the market.

    Cheers P but it seems someone has already done it. By heck even for UKRM
    that's a fast service.

    Have you seen my MR2? although I sold it just 20 minutes ago.

    In my defence I went to a militaristic boys only school so WTF do you
    expect.

    that's only mildly helping. The fact that you sold it, I mean.
    me too, though I never played on a proper rugby team[1], or joined the
    CCF.

    [1] I was on the volleyball team though - how cool is that?

    While I can say MTAAAW until I entered 'teens, mine (13 onwards) was a
    co-ed state school where I joined the cross-country team to evade
    rugger, but thoroughly enjoyed the CCF no end. (And nearly took part in
    a headline-grabbing disaster - well, I too part, but the disaster was
    averted by luck and/or expert piloting...)
    Must be - leaves *me* cold.

    a standard move. Although at the school I attended you could also opt
    for "swimming" and get felt up by convicted child molester Lindsay
    Brown[1].

    [1] there are more than one dodgy Lindsay Brown teachers - this was
    the one at BGS.
    gaylord.

    Our PE teacher was Ron Pickering.

    An amaalgam of my being heavier than water
    and
    swimming
    like
    a
    brick
    and the swimming pool being open-air and infested with icebergs, it
    being too cold for crocodiles, deterred me from going anywhere near the
    pool unless an arm was twisted. A move not unknown to the Blessed Ron.

    I finally learnt to swim aged 16
    Did you know an art teacher and mountaineer) called David Price? He was
    teaching at BGS sometime before 1967, when he was one of my art tutors
    at training college.

    I *should* have been dead in 1966 when I piled-up myself - the Vin got
    off lightly...

    Earlier near misses inluded a doodle-bug in 1944 and a force-8 under the
    wingtop of an Avro Anson around 1956.

    You don't get rid of me *that* easily.

    I blame Stalin.

    He didn't go nearly far enough on this sort of thing.

    Uncle Joe?

    I always wanted to set fire to his moustache, but Nanny said he wouldn't
    find it very funny, so I told him I liked tractors, instead.
