If anyone is wondering about 'the Apprentice', we're not on about the BBC programme, with, was it Alan Sugar??

How come the mrs always walks in at the wrong time, you nearly got me in trouble there.

How come the mrs always walks in at the wrong time, you nearly got me in trouble there.

Just don't look at the name of her own website......, or look at her on YouTube, at tattoo events
The question is, was she worth the earache to look at??
The same phrase applies that Guy Martin used about Laura Trott, "She's not hard to look at, is she?"

It's not that bad if you're caught looking at Clare Barratt, even when she's in greasy overalls

Nah! Not worth looking at as I am happily married.

As am I, but it's only 'window shopping', as the old expression goes

To be honest now that I am old fat and bald she does not mind me window shopping, as long as it is a bike shop, not that I am fat anymore.

Driving back along the A64 today, after visiting the Whitby Goth Weekend, & passed a big Dodge pick-up late this morning, near York

It was a mid-late 90's Ram, 'long-bed', a 'dually', & a crew-cab
However, the wing-badges stated V10, now I may be wrong (& haven't googled it before typing), but isn't that a 8.0litre petrol, as used in the early Dodge Vipers??

I see this one on a semi-regular basis, on my journey to (& home from) the Trunce

A few Land Rover pick-ups

'Mog-Rover'
I like this!!

101FC, a huge pick-up bed, when the canvas is off (& they sound fantastic, when driven 'in anger', petrol V8, as standard issue)
This lived not too far from me

109FC (totally different beast, to the 101FC)
Used to be seen a lot in Castleford

Ag-Rover
Portal-axles (to increase ground clearance), 'live' PTO, & hydraulic lines
Only half-a-dozen or so were built, this lived around the Halifax area for a few years

Centaur
Possibly the ultimate LR conversion? - despite such other offerings as hovercraft, amphibious (some with a DUKW style body) & armoured car
Based, initially, on the Stage 1 V8, with the track assemblies from the Scorpion tank (built by Cammell-Laird)
