Miss Christine Whippy as a name for a Commer van ? Now you're getting silly...  or is it me ? ;D

BTW, we are on page 8 now.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Christine Whippy sounds like the name of an american trash metal band ?

Rick M,
You missed out last time but it's here again - and in Peterborough

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2446723767&category=14256

Well blow me! Thanks Steve. It's like it's meant to be, wonder what transpired for the original deal to fall through? Surely people don't bid on ebay then back out do they? That's just not cricket!

Run it past Mrs. Meister and I rather think I would be living in it permanently if this gorgeous piece of Commerness were to make the short trip up the A15 to Bourne. Mind you, now the Bond Bug is sold and due for collection tomorrow, there is space in my mate's yard!!  ;D

You can tell the season's over and the nights are drawing in.

You're all mad as badgers.

It's one of those strange English things Matt.  The Commer is to be admired because it IS..............nothing more.  And Mr Z is to be admired for publicly owning up to having it ;D  Of such things were the British Empire built.  Yup, mad badgers as well :o

no mention so far has been made of those wonders of aesthetic style and engineering quality such a the Bedford CF

Ah, now that is one sweet little baby that I would like to own. Earlier styling a must and even gone as far as to get the Haynes manual from ebay!! Oh dear, feel I've given away too much again. What little shred of credibility I had left has now gone forever!

But what a Lemons-mobile that would be!! Would have to be a van, fitted out with furry interior and funky seats and kick-ass stereo and...........
