It made me laugh - frostbite
Haven't seen too much in the way of good rear window humour lately but a VW Golf owner gave me a laugh at some traffic lights recently.

Sitting behind him and waiting for the lights to change, I noticed a very subtle and well engineered change to the badge on the back - it read 'Golf GiT'.

I wonder what %age of following drivers spot that one?

In a similar vein, a one of the local "boyz" has a MkI Orion. Using an assortment of letters from escorts, fiestas etc, it now has "sorted" on the boot, all in the correct lettering.

Obviously it's not, it's actually a bag of nails with a selection of aftermarket spoilers (how aptly named).

Seen in Norway, several years ago:

Escrot (and, yes - it was rusty)

I seem to recall that for a while Pug made 405 diesels with 'GRDT' badges which looked like 'GROT' once they had a little dirt on them.

ND...I, too, have seen this amended model name. Did you see it in the East Midlands?

Small world?!

"Sunny Poole, down 'ere in cider country"

ND For"cider country" substitute "Gin & Jaguar country" surely - now we know that's not Maidenhead, and to retain a motoring theme!

I feel fully justified in my description (pauses to sip at a pint of Westons Special Vintage Reserve) as I brew my own. Mind you, it helps having a dozen crooked and aged apple trees in the front garden. Well, orchard really.

And the Westons? Well, I've already drunk last years brew!

You ought to try snakecatcher from Burley in the New Forest (fairly near Beaulieu for those seeking a motoring link) as well. Loverly drop of apples, that be.

Gin and Jags are for Sandbanks (home of Mr Irvine when he's over here, and that Rednapp footballer oik), although I'm reliably informed that there are more mercs registered to that postcode than any other post code in the uk. More Moet and Merc then.

Further motoring link. Dorset Road Safety Partnership had one of their "Grab your wallet" cameras hidden at the side of Sandbanks road tonight. Should be a few irate stockbrokers around in the next 14 days.

Sounds good to me - and there was I, a former resident of Lilliput Road totally unaware of your enterprise! But, although I *have* tried and enjoyed the Burley brew, I'm still having some difficulty in thinking of Hampshire and Dorset as cider country.

However, I will agree about the masses of Mercedes at Sandbanks -if only to maontain a motoring theme ....

Cheers

Jack
