He didn't say what kind of car it was. It could have been a Reliant Robin - Russ's Chess Dependent Traders

no, no, he means 'turned' as in 'he steered into Tesco'. Just like when Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt that was standing by the road for some reason...
However it reminds me of the time I picked up this beautiful young hitchhiker. What she didn't know was that I am wizard and when she smiled at me I turned into a quiet country lane.

I saw a car with the reg. RHP 1
My Dad whilst working in marketing at 3M (famous for scotch tape) was driving up the M1 motorway when he was over-taken by a guy driving a number plate that said: BUY 3M.
Sensing it would be a cool purchase that might be able to be put down on expenses he chased after the other car. Eventually he managed to pull the other guy over to the hard shoulder and they negociated a price for the plate.
After the purchase, for which my dad felt he paid over the odds but after the chase felt after the chase he had to get the number plate. My Dad sold it to one of the directors for double the original cost.

Originally posted by invigorateSee. now that's where I went wrong. Instead of shopping for food (and wine) I should have chased after this guy (assuming it wasn't Russ) and bought the plate off him and then sold it to Russ for a huge profit.

My car is easily recognised by plenty of packing tape holding the passenger window shut. (It stops the kids getting wet). It gives the vehicle a far more unique appearance than any fancy (and expensive) number plate.

Special note for car thieves. Yes, that tape REALLY does hold the window shut. Please help yourself to the car at anytime, you really would be doing me a favour.

If not, go get TFC 1 or CAW 1, or RHC 1, or something.
