What’s the worst that can happen ?? 😀

😀. Luke, I think you may need to lie down in a darkened room….

Does look appealing though, wafting through the countryside, just as long as it’s not on top of a recovery truck 😀😀

I had a hernia operation yesterday and I'm in hospital, the drugs must be in my system still 🤣

The recovery truck would definitely be cheaper to get around in
