The World is your Lobster

[ianmack]

It's back on the market, the legendary lobster Morris. That would be fun, I'd like that, it's not dear, ah it's in Northumberland. Probably just as well.

Search ebay for Morris Lobster.

It should be at the bottom of the ocean! Where it belongs.

Wasn't that built by Henric in Nottingham? I seem to remember them displaying it many years ago.

What in God's name........is that????
I've heard of Land Crabs, but that is ridiculous!!

I don't know whether to be amused or appalled!

As with any minor, the all important thing is the condition of the shell.

[ManyMinors]

Haha!

There is probably a claws in the sale contract ...... (I'll get me coat!) The advert fails to mention that Plod, as I recall, were not amused to see it on the road and deemed it to be unroadworthy and in dangerous condition. They managed to stop it in a pincer movement (sorry again). Their Sergeant, originally from Bangladesh, was a very crusty asian (crustacean) chap. (Ok I'll stop while i'm still alive).

There is a related post but most of the links don't work.

On the DVLA Plate Checker it's on a SORN and it's BLUE!!
Surprised the Plod never pulled it for the registration documents being wrong...

And eight people are bidding for it, EIGHT!

It was blue. They go red when you boil them.

It's not a two door or four door... it's thermi-door....

Bar Steward, I was working on that one......

'Where do you get in?' says the prospective passenger. 'Over here behind me,' says the driver.... 'Oh yes There's me door!' says the passenger. Thermidor gedddit ??? Oh please yourself !

If a bonnet mascot is deemed illegal how would you go on with two massive lobster claws I think the insurance would take a dim view of insuring anybody maybe modified

[firedrake1942]

As I said above, Plod deemed it to be road unfit and in a dangerous condition .

[palacebear]

If you got caught driving it, you'd end up in the soup, or the bisque

Everyone is entitled to their own views, but I can recall it appearing at rallies in the past and it was always the centre of interest, attracting many youngsters and plenty of "ohs" and "aahs". It might have to be trailed there, but there are plenty of stranger looking cars about and whilst I wouldn't want to drive it, I'd welcome seeing it back on the circuit.
