Well maybe. Having watched the adverts on totallytriumph - I think this is the
case. However - presuming the guy is the father - I guess he's going to have to
get
rid of the spit after the birth!
And also Im concerned that the PO has lost one of the things that came with it
- as
stated on the second advert - Ive got the car, and a piece of history - but the
girl has been lost along the way. I've phoned up Moss, Rimmer, TRGB - all the
usual
places, but can't find one anywhere.

Hey thats not fair - a shopping trolley has much better cornering - and possibly
better ride qualities than my spit.

Luckily my Spurs scarf (please no one mention the game) has come in rather hand.
When the roof it down it keeps me warm - when the roof is up it keeps me dry.
