The old Capri Ghia is bit long in the tooth now and young Damien is hassling me to get somefink a bit more up to date.

I saw one of them Chimaera's outside the Nags Ead and I thought Luverly Jubberly but Boycie reckons you need golf club membership before they'll let you have one. E's got sumfink called a Griffif 500 on the lot at the moment that he reckons is the dogs doo-dahs and he's trying to get me to take that.

Raquel in the meantime has seen one of them Tamora's (same name as her sister) and she reckons it's just the ticket.

For my part I like the Capri Ghia. It's got everyfink I need and lime green is me favourite colour. The other option I got of course is to get one of them Nobles, and then at least I got the same engine as I already got in the Capri.

I dunno what to do. Rodders has been on a computer course and he told me about you lot and said you would be able to help. Any advice will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

Cushty.

Griff 500 or the Noble Del


Ere Mungo me old china. I see from your wotsit that you got one of them Spanish Skoda's. Wots that like then?

Boycie got one for Marlene but she backed it saying it was too girly for her. Come to mention it one of the barmaids down at the nags ead took it off er so perhaps she's got a point. She did used to tool around in a Dodge Charger mind. He's promised here one of them Saggiarses when they get around to makin em.

You used to have a TVR didn't you? So wot made you give that up for a Salon Stalker like the Leon then?

Mange Tout mate.

Noble Del


More suited to the Essex lad... has a turbo ford engine and a spoiler big enough to rest your filofax and jellied eels on when you go to watch the dogs.

I always wondered what a Cerbera with a nice vinyl roof (a la 7Ts Capri) would look like? Smart, I recon.

Anybody do this for me in paintshop?

I think he's getting a bit paranoid. He thought me and Exx were the same person earlier. Soon he'll be hearing voices.

Just for you Del, I've pulled out the stops and sourced you the ultimate. It's even got a pinto engine in it like yer old Capri. The geezer says he don't want to sell, but if you get Boycie and the lads to pay him a little visit, I'm sure he could be persuaded to part-ex it for Marlenes old Dodge.

Sacre bleu un Eiffel tower!!!! I haven't been so excited since I laid me minces on this..



To get that I am prepared to offer up the Capri Ghia in part exchange no less. Have the geezer wot owns it call me at TIT or in the Nags ead if it's after 5. If e gives you a load of bunny about not wantin to sell remind him who 'es dealin wiv.

I'm off for a creme de menthe to celebrate. I might just make it a frappe.

Bonjour.
