George: Oh Merlin !!! When i said you could buy a car sticker ........

[smithsg5]

this isn't quite what i had in mind.

Merlin: But George, its got wings and everything. Look! Lets go flying, I know someone with a licence.
George: Just because it has wings painted on, even with my skeletal knowledge of aerodynamics its not the same thing.
Merlin: It is when you open the doors - trust me or ask Steve
George: But that's not practical driving down these narrow streets
Merlin: But you can on a runway
George: Hmmmm.
Merlin: And now for the propellor.....
George: Merlin, look at the photo. There should be four of these and we've only got three
Merlin: Damn it he's noticed
George: And how am i meant to fix these on ?

George: Hmmm I don't think that's an approved method.  You've got the proportions wrong, 4 wheels and 3 propellors.
Merlin: Can you fix the horn ?
George: What do you mean ?
Merlin: I want it to sound like cannons or a Browning.  That'll get people out our way.
George: done it
Merlin: George.  That's not a cannon - its a hum and reminds me of something.... it'll come to me....
George: Now where am I sitting ?
Merlin:
George: I don't think so. Move over ! Powered by a Merlin not driven by one you know.
Merlin: George.  That hum... I know what it reminds me of - its a doodlebug
George: Tee he he ! contact - Chocks away - we're off
Merlin: maybe we need the CD Carolyn.

A bony finger pointed out I needed to add the Cast in order of appearance:
George: our skelington ground crew / body double and stunt pilot
Merlin: No.1 Labrador (a dab hand with a paint brush)
George: No.2 Labrador (our autopilot - especially following a Frisbee)
Septic: The smartfire

Very amusing, Stuart Possibly the only credible way to drive a Smart car

That's really neat! I once saw a Spitfire, the Triumph version not the Supermarine one, painted up like a flying Spitfire. It had the camouflage on the body and the sky coloured lower part under the doors and the sky band around the back end near the boot as well as some letters and roundels on it. All that was missing on the driver (pilot) was his flying gear and a big waxed moustache. I suppose that's as close as he will ever get to actually flying in a Spitfire of the Supermarine variety!

Cheers,
