National Bubblecar museum rally
« on: March 07, 2012, 10:37:58 pm »
Just in case anyone didnt know, the Bubblecar museum that relocated in Lincolnshire is opening in April and there will be a bubblecar rally May 25th-27th. See link for details   http://www.bubblecarmuseum.co.uk/events/  I was up there in December and its a much bigger place than the last one. Should be good!

At least that is consistent.

You are aware that the museum changed number on moving?

I was also up there in December. It was that MI5 job spying on an unknown master micronaut mover codenamed Squashyhat from some place in Essex. Something about barometric bubblecars to Bahrain and the fear the Taliban will complete these devices and use them to attack unsuspecting campervans in Europe at predetermined altitudes in bad weather when occupancy is at maximum. El Jazera is already echoing the propaganda name of the National rally as being at Great Yarboosucks.

There is still a huge amount of work to be done within the Cooper world. I think they are nuts to want to do it when they could probably take life easy but, like some, I do not think they know how to stop working. Clearly there are projects off site too, don't know what but boats, houses etc,, so a moving target.

I'm not admitting to being squashyhat although the spy car I planted up there could fit that description. I was up there searching for enriched hg which powers pre-anariodicle devices and as we know according to the latest EU rules could wipe out the whole of Europe with one sniff! The word on the streets of Bostongrad is that Sergei plans to squirt the stuff at bubblecar rallies from the meerkat space station. Please destroy after reading this message. With two rallies having the code word National in them this smells of a double agent at work, I suspect Alfred of Farringdon who I saw lurking up there trying to hide behind a hay stack, could this be the start of another cold cabbage war. ;D

The Coopers have been working 12 hours a day to get the museum ready in time so it doesn't surprise me that they are not picking up there phone messages.

Looking very unlikely for me, I had three days off last week end, and that's my lot for a while, possibly 3-4 weeks before my next break.
Just remember: as one door closes behind you, another slams in your face

Mike said he would be moving your old Inter into the scrap yard area to make way for a display of proper Sans Permis Microcars..............!
