The Brethren it is and The Brethren it shall stay. The Popemobile however will, while always being The Popemobile possibly become BMCCC. Brethren Mobile Command & Control Center as suggested by SGT Major Chop. We will have to run all this by her first as we dont want upset her.
It is hard to imagine the unbelievable misery she could unleash if angered... I mean just think about MOT time with an angry old girl not wanting to be poked and prodded by a strange man... it just dosnt bear thinking about!!
I believe Private Tray Boy is being up ranked to Pope Tray Paul and will be wearing the correct attire at all times, although I'm not sure if the real Pope uses his socks for "that" purpose or would be seen leaving his tent with a carrier bag containing what looked like left over sausage casserole.... :o I cant think where he got it from as we have never cooked that.
Crazy Undriveable Nutter Transporter is an option....

Bit posh - but still nice.

Could you re-mount yours? (Rex - not sexually, but on another truck -  ::) )

At my age, it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, growing old is compulsary, but growing up is just optional.

Do some web surfing and found this, says it was taken at Brocklands. Not sure if is based there on just there on a day trip.

Anybody in Brocklands area might want to have a look.

A rather fine Livery on this one!
This is the ultimate "buy something unusual" and all the others appear out of no where thread. ;D

I'd like to suggest that anyone who finds /spots a Popemobile could forward contact details (if available) of the owners so we can create a register of these amazing creations and their current uses.
Or PM me a link..

Is that 'Brocklands' or 'Brooklands'?
