It was only a matter of time Leroy. Somebody had to do it eventually.

Been done before Pat :-)

I took this in 1997 with a crappy camera, hence crappy photo :-)

) You're always so polite. Just like the proper English gentleman you
are.

And thank you for that Leroy.


In the meantime I've learned that this was not only inevitable but that
indeed it had been done before.

I guess there are no safe spots left on earth.

More's the pity.

Cheers.

A good few years ago, in the 1970s or 1980s IIRC, Epsom, UK, based
automatic transmission specialist installed a Rolls-Royce Merlin WW II
aero engine in a car which may have started life as a Ford Capri, and
mounted a Rolls-Royce radiator shell and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot on it.
He called the car "The Beast." Rolls-Royce's legal department got wind
of the car, and successfully sought an injunction prohibiting him form
using these trade marks on the car. I can't help feeling this little
creation deserves the same treatment.
