The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

It's a former funeral limo.

The only time those go over 50mph is when the drivers race each other back to base. So I'm told by a friend who drove one as a summer job. When you see the low tech way in which stretches are built, you won't be surprised to learn that the handling is a bit loose!

Good fun if you can get one cheap enough; the Dorchester I had was bought and sold for £250 and provided loads of entertainment, including chasing Quentin Wilson across the Hop Farm show field.

Trice as many seats as cylinders? Dear, oh, dear. ::)

Wouldn't have been suitable for my mate Johnty's funeral, RIP. :'(

Then again, he made it quite clear that he didn't want to be holding up any traffic when his time came. ;)
