Out for an afternoon walk today, just passing Halfrauds, there was a familiar looking blue portaloo in the carpark, out dashed this bearded disheveled bloke with a beard,with white trainers on, he had an armfull of carnauba car wax in his arms.......he must be an ardent old car fan I thought.
Anyway he booted the door of the portaloo open, barged in, I could see it was bigger inside than it looked outside........then it clicked, it was Chris Rea blagging car wax for the TURDIS !
Now everyone knows you can't polish a TURDIS.... but seems Chris is going to try.
The wax is for his latest project, a time travelling 1967 Ford Transit, he managed to out blag a full refurbishment from Car SOS, which has royally p****d off Tim Shaw who has been seen to be amateurish in the blagging stakes, the carnuba wax makes the paint gleam, and a thick layer protects it from the sparks of appearing in various places in time, the Transit body is perfect for containing the electrical gubbins that work the time travel, at the moment the Transit can only go forward by a couple of seconds, but Chris has great fun taunting traffic wardens, he parks on double yellows, then hits the go button just as they lean forward to ticket his van, reappearing close by convulsed in laughter at the parking attendant rolling round on the floor, ticket in hand, this project has been one reason the Turdis still bangs and sparks as it has consumed much of his time in the secret workshop building the Transits time travel circuits
