Rover Vanden Plas. About 10 miles to the gallon if I remember correctly?
My Dad bought an Austin Princess(?) Vanden Plas in 1974 just before the oil crisis  . Needless to say that he didn't have it for long.

I'm not a Goth, as you know, so you can tell they need people to come along. It's once a month and I'm kind of an honorary guest, as I'm friends with the people who organise it.
They're not all real goths, you understand though.

I met Mariusz and one of the Piotr's (Grudzinski I think), but the other two alluded me. Mariusz signed all my CDs and signed one for Nicky too. Our copies of R.E.M. are personalised too! I didn't chat to them in depth though, 'cause Nicky wanted to get back, but Mariusz especially seemed a genuine gentleman and it would have been nice to have chatted to him properly. Yes, it was great meeting you both too. I hope my dancing didn't put you off possible meetings in the future either! I was "in the moment".  But they  ing rocked and even the better half liked them!

Let's put it like this.... the way you were boogying around the dance floor, like you owned the place, I thought you'd turned up at the wrong gig....
...you'd have been better suited at the Stylists gig with Rachel...
