    Dunno. When the cheque clears.
    Looking at the stuff they've sold previously, they don't seem to specialise
    in dodgy behemoths.

    Sure. But I don't want you to be too upset if it's faster and nippier than
    yours...

    If I ever decide I need a towbar, I'll fit one.

    I won't be - I'd expect it to be both.

    I take it this is the intended ChimayWagen?

    Really? I thought all I'd have to do was ponce it up with fairy lights,
    chrome towel rails and stick-on plastic eagles. You mean the famous Honda
    reliability is a myth?
    I followed one, once, in the car, up the M5 for a few miles. He wasn't
    sitting about...

  12. Hope so. Think of the capacity for Saturday's beer run.

    Eh? Oh, hang on...

    Ah, nice one. A devastatingly quick cross-country gin palace if ever I
    saw one.

  14. But, but, but.... why buy a Wing if you're not going to bling it?

    It's a form of psychiatric self-help. Most men go through a mid-life
    crises where they do all sorts of silly things, & in some cases this
    crisis doesn't end naturally. So they have to kick-start their slide
    into old age &, ultimately, death. Buying a Wing is the first step in
    that process.

    It's a bit like standing up & saying "My name is <insert name here>, &
    I'm getting old", but less embarrassing.

    Touch and go. The cheque needs to clear, I need to pick it up and get MOT
    and tax sorted. ATM I reckon probably not.

    Is that a bit like penis envy but more oddly shaped?

    Faster without the crap. Less is more. He travels the fastest who travels

    If it doesn't work out, it can go back on obey with tax, MOT, decent pics
    and description. I don't think I'd have too much trouble getting my money
    back.
