General Silly stories

Rufus has orange indicator lenses, and is thus disqualified from participation.

But Red, White and Blue go so well with Orange! Just ask anyone in east belfast!!

Steps would be good, or a shot with the blue Panda in the foreground and the red and white Pandas at the back all with their lights on and the wheels at angles.

I still have to polish the damn blue thing yet!! Oh well, it will keep me busy on sunday instead of cutting the grass!

What about that skateboarders square infront of St Annes? I think there's steps there leading up to where the tourist office used to be but I can't remmemeber if there's bollards or not. Ok, your not supposed to drive on it but if anyone askes well tell them we're doing a photo shoot!

We could head into Short Strand for some adventure shots of the Pandas getting chased and petrol bombed.

No!

I'm dreading doing this in the City Centre. I can tell it's going to be very very embarassing...

I think you should get the local rag to pop along and take photos.

Possibly the correct word.

Particularly as a recent edition of New Tricks (possibly episode 9) had Dennis Waterman driving an "E" plate broom yellow Panda.

It was the cause of much ridicule, and hilarity at his expense - but he bought his Stag back again at the end, so it was just a cameo part for the Panda, and they did use Mellow Yellow by donovan in one of the links, as you would have to really....

There have been a few Pandas on TV recently. The one on New Tricks, the one in the McDonalds ad and the one on that MTV show.

Pandas and TV you say. That reminds me of another silly story.

Me and 3 mates climbed into the Panda to go to town one lunchtime on a college day. Sun was shining, roof was down, we were having fun. We were on our way back to college driving past an open square thing and noticed a film crew.

My mate shouted random words out the roof, and I beeped the horn for the hell of it. Nothing amazing I know, but we wanted to be on TV and watched the news. Northwich was featured on the news but not the place where we drove past, unfortunately. Disappointed.

Still laughed lots though.

You'll be on the electronic equivalant of the cutting room floor - countless hours are shot for a relatively short finished product.

Even if the pictures made it into the finished item, it's likely you'd be lost in the edit - unless you happened to fit with what the Producer, or Editor was after.

Which in a blue roofless Panda is very unlikely...

Wasn't sure which thread to put this in... so it shall be this one. Since Monday and for the next 5 weeks (mon-fri) Rufus is going to be going back and forth to South Liverpool for my new job. Bye bye Tesco!

Takes about 35 minutes to get there which probably does the engine a million times more good than the old 10 minute dash to Tesco.

Me and the little blue 'un are happy.
