When I read that, I heard it in Murray Walker's voice. (In black and white)

Fortuneately the weather here near Lemans has cooled down a bit, but it is forecast to increase again next week. Today it has hit 38c. Eeek.

Good news is I was told of an interesting piece of shite for sale in the area. I have no room, it is in the wrong country and makes no sense whatsoever. I have of course said I am interested and requested a viewing!

[Saabnut]

Appointment made for next Tuesday. A price has now been mentioned which if it is as described I will happily pay (but out of principle I will try to negotiate down). It has apparently sat in a shed untouched for the last 25 years but of course ran when parked. 
 

I will not reveal what it is until after viewing but will give a few clues over the next week. Todays clue is it is green!

That would definitely be the sort of thing I'd be unsurprised by appearing on this thread...

@hairnet will be so jealous.
