Who needs date accuracy anyway

TBB just shared this one on Facebook which made me laugh :



Especially as it's the perfect follow up to yesterday's apocalypse now post :-)

Oh - I'd need another car if an apocalypse came that wiped out the tech. The Lexus is a great car, after 6 months I'm convinced it was one of the best car decisions I've made. But ... one whiff of an EMP and all that tech will go byebye.

Now Chloe in my mum & dad's garage ... That's another matter. Chloe is a Triumph Spitfire Mk3 much like :

(Chloe is a blue one too but hasn't been out of the garage for many years due to crash damage)

In its day, the Spitfire was a direct competitor to the Spridget (Sprite & Midget were effectively the same car) and was a 2 seater convertible quite similar to today's MX-5. It's much more suitable than the Lexus for surviving an apocalypse as the only thing inside with a transistor is the radio (I think it's a transistor radio!). Not quite so sure about it having the room to carry Apocalypse Supplies though and from what I remember, there's not much room for an Anti Zombie Shotgun behind the seats.

It was a great little car though, which makes it time for the picture attribution : You could hire one like it here :-) - Greatescapes.co.uk. Chloe stays in the garage for now, awaiting its rebuild.

PS Since it appeared on FB, that calendar pic seems to have gone viral ...
