Yeah, but he's bigger than us (6'5"!), so we thought we'd better be on the advance before he starts threatening us for our dinner money!

Whenever I see Matt's pictures, I always laugh as the Sprite reminds me of the 'dog' in John Carpenter's film The Thing!
No offence Matt! I'm only 5' so I'm not going to pick a fight with you

Makes me think of the term Driven Into The Ground
Elaine there is a guy in Chard selling lots of Moggie bits on ebay, might be useful to you, dont know if he is the same person I mentioned before.

It had done about 120K, was laid up in the early 80's so virtually nothing was seized, even the handbrake worked, and apparently the engine does too......
Elaine, ive never seen that thing, so I havent got a clue what your talking about

Now that you mention the cycles in the background, I can't stop thinking how much Sprigits look like pedal cars! There must be a little kiddy Sprigit about somewhere in Britain, surely?

Kevin, I think he is the same person, although he is a bit cagey about where he actually is!
Matt, The Thing was about an Antartic substation and a 'shapeshifter' which took over a dog, amongst other things. It was fairly revolting and had lots of arms/tentacles/heads coming out of the body - must be me, but I was reminded when I saw your picture
Now I feel old!
