its er.. very you. You around tomorrow for a coffee so I can have a
closer inspection?

 

It's not perfect - some of the paint's peeling off, but it just wants
scraping off and some Hammerite daubed on. And the tickover's a bit
erratic, but a bit of a run should sort out most of what ails it.

What really does my head in is that it's the same age (and about a third of
the mileage) as the Trophy.

I know. I can feel your need...

 

Yup.

 

Very nice an all that, very *teutonic/bavarian* hint to it with a
smidgeon of russian thrown in.

This will be your latest purchase then?

Nice but you could have moved that old pram out of the way so we could
see the LHS better.

 

More than a hint ... the spoils of war and all that )

Fucking pig ugly, suits you sir.

It doesn't have a stand. If it wasn't leaning against the old Silver Cross,
it'd fall over.

Very nice. I like the legshields.

 

I shall keep an eye out for you and your Balmoral Stroller on the local
highways and byways then.

Will sir be adding a GAF spangly sticker?

 

That's a tidy outfit you have there.

 

I was just checking out the spares catalogue[1]. They're under a tenner a
side.

I was thinking of "UKRM" done in military-style spray stencil on the back,
but "GAF" would work too.

 

platypus says...

I really must cut down on the booze. I'm starting to find it strangely
appealing.

 

<glances in mirror, straightens collar> Oh yes.
