Today EL_Uly needed to hand the keys to the old rotary powered, brown, twincharged, 6x6 OPPO observation bus to me so he can work his butt off on a Friday and make that cheddar. So me being me, I decided to hit the pub for some fish and chips, and venture on out the the first home of Gordon Keeble, the car brand with the best logo ever, to do what we always do, look at cars. The man himself will be back on Monday to his regularly scheduled programming, eating cookies and driving the bus, but I hope you enjoy today's installment. I mean I literally dragged the little guy out to a random ass spot in town, and landed on a guy with 3 E30's in his yard. That should bode well. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , may the Schwartz be with you.

EDIT: looks at some of the stuff people are pulling out in the comments, this place is as Jalop a town as I have ever seen! The Edsel below was Rainbow Dash's find. WTF?

There are no cool cars in Slough, because they're in Slough. A burnt-out Corolla anywhere else is cooler than anything in Slough, pretty much as a matter of definition. In fact, if you look up 'cool' in the dictionary, it just says 'not Slough'.

Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!

Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.

Mess up the mess they call a town-
A house for ninety-seven down
And once a week a half a crown
For twenty years.

And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:

And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.

But spare the bald young clerks who add
The profits of the stinking cad;
It's not their fault that they are mad,
They've tasted Hell.

It's not their fault they do not know
The birdsong from the radio,
It's not their fault they often go
To Maidenhead

And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars
And daren't look up and see the stars
But belch instead.

In labour-saving homes, with care
Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
And dry it in synthetic air
And paint their nails.

Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough
To get it ready for the plough.
The cabbages are coming now;
The earth exhales.
