Hi Gary

If they are available a 1965 Cortina with 4 on the tree or for something newer a pick up ute 2 door base model.You know vinyl seats and rubber mats ( mats might be optional extras ) and a bag of conctete (could be used to support the 1200mm ) in the tub so it doesn't bounce to much.
Is that what you had in mind ?

Thank you Dave. Most people find puffins "cute" and my sister had totally unreasonable fondness for them.

Beware, not all Icelandic puffins are soft and cuddly.

Oh, there once was a Puffin
Just the shape of a muffin,
And he lived on an island
In the bright blue sea!

He ate little fishes,
That were most delicious,
And he had them for supper
And he had them for tea.
But this poor little Puffin,
He couldn’t play nothin’,
For he hadn’t anybody
To play with at all.
So he sat on his island,
And he cried for awhile, and
He felt very lonely,
And he felt very small.
Then along came the fishes,
And they said, “If you wishes,
You can have us for playmates,
Instead of for tea!”
So they now play together,
In all sorts of weather,
And the Puffin eats pancakes,
Like you and like me.
