I was on my way home from an out-patients appointment late this morning (nasal manipulation, not much fun)

I passed a side-street just out of the town centre & caught a glimpse of a very gloss black Discovery.
I doubled back it was parked outside a Funeral Directors.

Looks very well prepared indeed, I've never seen it around here before.

(there's front & rear pics in the 'Land Rovers Of The UK. 4' album on my 'WebShots')

No club stickers of any nature in evidence, & even if I had had a M-C 'flyer' with me, it probably wouldn't have been the best location (or time?) to leave one.

No possibly not......

Be ready in case you see it somewhere else (at a later date - as long as it's not outside a cemetry next time!)  :wink:

The sticker on the side is a little ironic.
