I still need to find the advert with my dads old Heinkel... It was a Beer advert, it had a submarine mod on the top of it. I think it was Carlsberg, and I think a famous guy was in iot.

After waiting with baited breath for more celebs in motors it seems they have avoid the publicity potential offered by our generously sized interior spaces and sophisticated clean reliable options for transport. Part of me is perhaps partly pleased as I do not really like the idea of my cars being socially acceptable after years of being ignored and ridiculed. Cannot be a rebel and be trendy, as Reliant found out? There is a word for trendy Rebels but I think we will pass on that here. No, its not Foxy, Dan!

So like slalom driving a car round bollards you are sort of offering interesting intellectual threads round the dullards?

What is a Dullard you might ask and of course the answer is a sawn off Mallard Duck.

Celebrity spotting?  Can't get much more ultimate than these two pictures. Proof indeed that conveyances have more pulling power than most....   :)

The point is, Stuart, you should have been there stood next to the car! It was there for the taking. I said she would go and look at it. A pass could have been badgered out of the occasion but it was clear they needed to be pushed as the organisation had been kicked upstairs to those who were more interested in getting there wealthy chums in. Steve could have insisted you be there to provide information to any that required it and a chance to market the ICR and your associated publications. He clearly flagged that up. That being a success you would have had a nice little consultancy/contact for the future and to be honest the projects on the back of this are just incredible. I was tempted to take it on myself but I have not the knowledge to pull off the first phase and bullshit only gets you so far. I can see the TV opportunities, the subsidised events for ICR and publishing possibilities not least a paid column in their magazine which would have provided a good proportion of each edition of the ICR magazine. A missed opportunity old chap. They do not come up very often. Spanking over, such responsibilities are not for everyone I guess.

The car looks great does it not, oh ye doubters. Head of nail hit and £1,500 of anyone's money now I think. I hope Stuart and Ian feel as pleased at this success out of scrap as I do. The Invalid Carriage comes of age and lives.

Next job for Root is to point up these pics and put the word to the media as it will make a good nugget for the Classic Press and give the ICR a boost in public perception. Malcolm Mackay is a member of this site I think. I know several contacts, Dave Richards for instance, so get cracking and burn out your new improved 'phone wires.
