My dream machine
Is only seen
To best advantage
In racing green.
Has a hard day today. Awkward situations at work, compounded by the fact that I woke up with a bad stomach at 3 am this morning and didn't get back to sleep. So when it came to choosing a subject for a sketch, I decided to share with you my dream car.
This is a Jaguar XK120. It's a stunningly British sports car from the 1950s. I fell in love with this car when I saw one in an exhibition for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It was painted in gold, and I just thought that the front end of it was the most beautiful car I've ever seen. I promised myself there and then that one dat. I would have won of my own. Well, 40 years later and I haven't achieved that dream yet. Never mind. Dreams can keep you going sometimes.
