Shitting in the shallow end. *Black and White Collection Live*

I may go dark for a while, as I'm nearing the destination. More update when I get to the car.

Doncast achieved. 

Doncaster was invented by Rotherham, to make people in Rotherham feel less bad about where they live. One slogan dreamt up was "At least it's not fucking Doncaster" and during initial construction of Doncaster, signs were erected on the side of the A1 at J36 saying "If you lived here, you'd be home by now. But lets face it, you'd be even more fucking miserable"

Sadly, the whole project failed when on 26th November 1989, a "dome" was built on the outskirts of Doncaster. Nobody then, or now knows it's purpose. But Rotherham doesn't have one, so by any metric, it is measurably worse.

He is around here somewhere.

Now passing March. 

March was built in March, on March and after a march. 

March is famous for its long thin ships which passers by will gesture to and wiggle their eyebrows. If someone does this, the local tradition is that you respond by saying "Hail the long thin boats, Hail the merry ways of March, Hail, Hail!"

Then you give a firm high 5. 

 

March are to this day barred from fielding a proffesional football team after the great half time massacre of 1876. 

Note the clever camouflage of the local supply branch of underground French Résistance.

You must mumble "Facel Vega" and wink in a pre-agreed manner to be admitted inside for your monthly ration of nailsnailsnails.

If you are where I think you are there are  huge patches with little or no signal.

Update us when you get back to civilisation. 

And yes, I realise he can't read this because of the above.

Perodua Kenari?

Invacar?

C15?

With his slim frame a nippa would be more appropriate.

My 2 hour commute into Doncaster took me past that sign.

It didn't make me consider buying a house there. Not for a second

That's a miserable commute, but at least when you get home you're two hours away from Doncaster.

LS400 innit??

[Shirley Knott]

Naice.

I spend my life almost entirely emersed in VAG and as such I know very little about these. I do admire them from a distance though!

Does it have a fridge?

I might have to find you a new front wing. I think there's still an LS400 getting broken on ebay that's the same shade of Gold.
