Kind of ironic really , he gets a court order and a fine for having scrap metal on show in one part of the countryside .

On the other hand we pay out thousands of pounds for "peices of old scrap iron" to be put on display (albeat welded into "arty" shapes) in other parts

When I was in Hungary in 1992 I saw many Trabants but only one left a lasting memory...

As the last gasps of twilight faded just before night fell after a blazing hot (40degC) windless, airless day in the south east of the country bordering Romania I and a few mates saw a flickering vision approaching through the smog preceded by that unique 'putt putt' ululation that identifies an approaching two stroke.

The apparition got closer and closer, belching smoke and other highly toxic fumes until the haze thinned and the source of the flickering became obvious, candles inside the headlights!

I've wondered since what the driver thought of the crazed eye, tear streaming, belly grabbing, hernia inducing laughter than overcame us!
