It appears that one has been invited to attend the “Black Rock Arts Festival” held one of the former colonies; and furthermore, that one should procure a “mutant vehicle” for the amusement and edification of the masses. As I (sadly) only possess vehicles of a Teutonic or Roman nature, I shall find it necessary to commission a new gentleman’s conveyance for the occasion, probably from Empire Rocketry Research Group, to show these Johnny-come-latelys how a proper gentleman traverses the desert.
As I recall the last person to traverse the deserts of this particular country desert was Mr. Andy Green, but he was a bit on the brisk and urgent side and they probably missed it . Also, as he didn't drive over 3,000 hippies it doesn't count. I shall try to do better,
I was basically thinking of a Chesterfield sofa powered by the engine from a Vulcan bomber*, unless anyone has any better ideas before I send off sealed instructions to the lawyers. What could possibly go wrong?
* - obviously I would wear full protective attire at all times; Pith helmet, brogues, goggles and a proper starched collar. Probably trousers of some sort too. And a Prince Albert attached to the kill switch. You can never be too careful. Except when breakdancing whilst priming plastic explosives.
