Why Lesley, you thinking it is a police car?  :D  Or are you meaning they're going to take me away to a psych ward (perhaps not a bad thing!  ;D)?

Thought you had a new job with the fire brigade. ::)

For the record, hokey pokey is made by heating sugar and a little water syrup to toffee temperature then quickly stirring in baking soda. Mustn't let the toffee burn or it tastes horrible and you can't get it out of the pot.

Wish I'd said that! ;D Crunchie is one of the few bars of my youth that I still indulge in.

Brillant Paul, you need to spoil yourself sometimes.

I am thinking the same as everyone else is, how much plants could you put in that boot. Maybe its the thought of all that carrying space that has attracted all us plants people  ::)

Enjoy  ;)

Maybe it is.  Can't be very tall plants though, at least with the hard top on.  Can be removed, but not a simple and easy snap-one snap-off type thing.  Allen keys (or however that is spelt) etc and there must be some way to disconnect the electrics.  It automatically locks when you lock the car, which is a feature I like. :D

Is that what they're for?  Darn, I always thought they were used as a hat.  Makes MUCH more sense now.  Growing up would have been so much easier if I'd known that.  ::)
