Taking my car for a spin

Turntable

The smalls would just love one of these, just think of all the games you could play. I wonder how fast it turns?

Anyway, Jax says I can’t have one. 🙁

And it was cheap too. Special introductory offer £399.99 off usual price of £8999.99.

I wonder if I could get a bigger one for my Alvis Stalwart.

Actually, that site does some really cool stuff. (can a gardening web site be cool?). They even do stones to build henges with! Bloody great big ones!

And this! Sedum matting – Enviromat sedum matting is a new product offering a beautiful roof covering for sheds, gazebos, summerhouses and stable blocks!

    Oh, good God. Is this owned by people who were never bought the turntable for their childhood train set?

    Wouldn’t want to spin too fast, it might blow the sedum matting off the roof and the standing stone might fall on the car…

    Funny how they don’t quote P&P for the henge stones. (Nor a price, when I looked.)

    Come to think of it, they probably just ask Obelix to deliver it (all this stuff about lorries is just a cover story).
