It’s on the way… dragged up this morning from long-term underground storage blinking (actually probably not, given the absence of ‘eyes’) into the light and onto the back of a transporter for the trip over the pyrenees and across France.
I hope the floor of the transporter can take the weight of the tasteless monster overhead.
Generally the car looks as it should (some damage at the front lower sections, but no outward signs of rot – apart from, possibly, a small patch on the near side behind the rear wheel?). This time next week I will be able to inspect and report on its real condition. A pleasant if slightly nervous anticipation.
While the car was still in transit I spoke to the driver to liaise over the drop-off time.
“You do know what state it’s in, don’t you?!”, he said, in an incredulous tone; “No-one told me what it was going to be like.”
He clearly thinks I’m some sort of imbecile, or perhaps the victim of a terrible scam.
Perhaps he’s right.
