Having recently been slightly worried about the chances of
our trusty hearse making it over the Alps, steep ascents and hairpin bends are
not the best friends of a modified 1989 Ford Grenada, we are pleased to announce
she has been passing all tests with flying colours.
Jack successfully drove her 400 miles from near Truro to the
New Forest as a test drive. Thankfully all went smoothly. Jack suffered the
most, as the poor old girl can only shift at 60 mph (at 65mph things start to
sound a bit dodgy!) which meant he was sat for rather a long time on the A303. Lucky
she has a fancy speaker system installed, sub-woofer and all, to keep us
entertained.
In a bizarre turn of events, she was also entered into a
vintage car show down in Cornwall. She proudly took her place alongside original
Bond cars. Genuinely! All pretty exciting. By all accounts she held her
own.........
Even more bonkers, the Bishop of St. Germans blessed her
with the righteous words "May you be a place of safety, security and
reliability.” Notice the Cornwall theme to all these slightly odd exploits.....
No more needs to be said....
Archie,
Fred and Jack
NB:
All of the above is completely true.
