@Doc Strange & @chas, It's got your names written all over it. Were you hippies ever residents? πŸ˜ƒ
I thought Pimlico declared independence according to this documentary I found:unsure:

Passport to pimlico ( 1949 ) is an old black and white movie which I suspect is based on what your on about..

We need to see a photo of you as an acid punk Doc.
Points will be deducted for anything that looks even remotely hippy πŸ˜‰

I wasn't sure if the fact that Chas's hair hasn't seen a pair of scissors since 1973. Condemned him to hippy-ness.
I've since checked with Duck, & my suspicions were confirmed πŸ™‚

Here I am sat on the top of a converted ambulance with a mohawk at the front and a long hair at the back wearing straight black jeans and flying a kite at Reading in 87 - special effects added by mate who took the pic:

I'll need to consult the Hippy Finder General (he's a bit like a Witch Finder General)

What do you reckon @BAD LUCK DUCK?
Was Doc a hippy pretending to be something else. In an attempt to disguise his hippy-ness? πŸ€”
I don't want to influence your decision. But I'd like to highlight the fact he's sat cross legged on top of an ambulance whilst flying a kite. And looking disproportionately happy about the whole thing πŸ˜‰

The first photo obviously involved the consumption of illegal substances.
And hippies are well known for their love of such mind altering substances.

We'll wait for our resident expert Duck to pass judgement. But I'd say that based on the evidence yourself & Doc have provided thus far.
It ain't looking good for a not guilty verdict Chas πŸ€” πŸ˜‰

I'll have you know that the 'convoy', as my haircut was known back in the day, was very popular on the Bristol biker scene at the time!

And @chas , like myself, is clearly in 'biker jeans' not 'hippy flares' ;)

Sorry Doc,
It's out my hands now mate. Only The Duck can decide. Fortunately, he's renowned for his fair & non judgemental nature πŸ˜ƒ

Yep!
It certainly ain't pretty HT. Hence the reason I said I don't want one.
The video was just for the "Wow" factor of all its gadgets & gizmos πŸ™‚

You do remember that our fleet currently consists of a 15 year old Jaaaaag X type and a Fiat Panda Cross? Both diesels. I know I've had some superb cars in the line of work, but those days are long gone. I do appreciate the level of kit and goodies in these cars, but @half ton is right, that's fugly.
