The Beast (Working title)

Over the past week or so, it has become apparent that ‘The Beast’ (Working title) has found its forever name.

Some of you may be aware that in December Nick became the very proud owner of a small white sports car which was named ‘Dave’ in memory of his Dad, David.

I am sure that David, always a petrol-head himself, would be proud to know that now he has 2 fine gas-guzzlers named for him.

The Beast has become known as ‘Big Dave’.

And now, Lloyd, you are the keeper and protector, occasional driver and chief polisher of ‘Little Dave’.

Big Dave is running well (touch wood). He has an 8.1L petrol V8. He is nearly 22ft long, with an 8ft bed and weighs about 3.5 tons. He’s a fine spot for a picnic, for wildlife spotting and a very comfortable place to be whilst cruising the highways. He carries the Tin Can (approx 2 tons) with aplomb. He’s managing somewhere between 8.9 mpg (Nick-leadfoot-Hampson) and 10 mpg (Sara-featherfoot-Hampson) when hauling and a planet-saving 13.9 mpg when unloaded.

He is a beast.
