We talked a lot about her design at latitude, she's a lovely lady but might be more parctical as a 4 seat verson with a small stowage box inbetweent he 4 seats for flasks etc. I think she carries people more than anything ;-)

Oh and some nice ud gaurds would help, although next season is going to be entirley sunny!

Rush they make a mean cup of tea at custom cart too!


Maybe (like the second buggy WOMAD gave us) the back seats could fold down when not needed.

RUSH. If it's gonna be you delivering Brenda back, you will see that we have buggies like the picure linked to earlier. Not sure if i would wear the uniform though. The shoes I can manage, but I dont think the pants would be big enough for me.


I will refrain from jokes about getting into those pants, particularly as I am still suffering after effects from the Clive-a-thong [-X

I must admit that Brenda is an absolute gem at festivals and a great talking point with the public who warm to her personality immediately, it's quite amazing how people respond to a vehicle with signwritten ID.

Mud Guards? - maybe outriggers or a lifeboat would be more use at some fests, though I was lucky this year.

I posted a couple of pics at Latitude of Brenda at the team briefing - feel free to use them :salute:

Have you guys got nothing better to do than watch the forum on a busy monday morning?

Obviously not!

OK, Seats on the back we can do.

A small luggage compartment we can do.

Mudguards we can do.

SPELLING, we can do ADE.

Tea we can definitely do.

When you coming over RUSH.

Getting into tight pants we are working on (we know all the jokes already Fatboyfat) But due to all the giggling we are struggling a bit. and boy does that lace make you itch.

If we where to supply a buggy like the one in the earlier link, you would definitely need those heels to reach getting on and off the buggy anyway, so it looks like you all have to get used to that uniform after all.

You all saw "men in tights" How about a new film called "Oxfam stewards in heels". I have seen some of the pictures in the gallery, so I know some of you guys would be up for it :nike:

Something like the one on the right (partially obscured) would be great.............

The rear seat folds over to create a load bed for stuff bigger than flasks, and see those wicked mudguards!

We could always put you on the rack, to make you a bit taller.

Anything else ADE, a beer cooler, air conditioning, a sleeper cabin, You name it!

Actually its a simple job to lower the top of the screen.

SIT ON A BIG CUSHION!

No, seriously, we can do it for you if thats what you want. We did wonder about putting a roof on with a full size screen for next year but as you have previously stated, The weather will be better next year, so i won't bother now. :0)

Hey Rush !

When are you likely to be bringing Brenda back! Dont suppose it will be before thursday this week by any chance!!!!!

We could really use her at the 24 hour racing at Silverstone next weekend. We have one buggy going already and a second would actually be really useful for carting tyres around etc.

PLEASE! [-o<
