Planet Mad

A few days ago, the Madmobile went off for its annual wash, valet and poke-around-under-the-bonnet-with-an-oily-rag. It was - as ever - full of debris and fallout from the past 6 months, so those boys in overalls had quite some job facing them. I've only driven a couple of times since then, but there has been a distinct rattling noise coming from the vicinity of the boot. Uh-oh, I thought. A bit of investigative driving later, and I realised that the rattling was more of a chinking: turns out to be two bottles of port that had been found nestling amongst the rubbish. Perhaps this is a sign that I should clean out my car more often.
