The Hon. Winston Ponsonby-Smythe and his wife is touring the Transvaal...

G. Nashly Cogswell is also in country in his Paddy Hopkirk Rallye Monte Carlo Mini Cooper 1275S on his way to RSA to pick up the last of the Kombi syncro 5cyl TDIs and some spares for his Spagthorpe Whippet. As he approaches a walled alleyway a dandy liveried Rolls rudely pulls out just in front of his turn. Luckily the hydroelastic suspension and 8" wide minilites allowed him to take evasive action in time to avoid wrinkling the paintwork on the bonnet. From the lofty cabin of the rolls a portly matron scowls "pig!".

Cogswell flashes his most significant digit, screams back "SOW!", and WFO drifts around the corner scattering gravel with the deafening snarl of the 1275 at full chat...directly into the side of the largest warthog on record in the region.

Wife looks at Winston and mutters..."no respect, those colonials"
