...but this time it's not broken down.
It's just been picked up & transported down to Hampshire for the BBC to use in filming Watchdog, to be aired next Tuesday. Look out for a petrol-blue Disco II. I won't be featured but it's nice that my car's getting its 15 minutes of fame.
They were talking about taking it apart, which would have been a nice free service, but now they're just using it for exterior/background shots.

They asked if they could film in our shop a few years ago (in the days when we ran a cybercafe). Lazy buggers were already filming in Sheffield and wanted to do a piece on a story concerning a woman from Liverpool - so rather than go to Liverpool to film it, they got her to drive to Sheffield. The crew were pretty nice and asked us to pretend we were in Liverpool - so we went out and nicked the wheels off their truck...
They paid us 150 quid for using the place too - which was the most we'd ever made in a couple of hours. didn't accept my invitation to use it on a regular basis tho'...
