It's somebody's birthday and the New Competition!
Today is a very special day because:
- It is somebody’s 40th birthday
- He is currently unwell
- He is Green
- His name is Henry
- He is the coolest thing I know
- 40 years ago the DVLA issued him with his own V5
- He is MY(well not strictly mine)CAR
here is his picture:
He is not actually my car, I am looking after him for a very good friend of mine, Bob. He is currently away cycling in stupid places. He has just finished cycling around the USA (yes you read that correctly!) and now is just starting a cycle tour of Eastern Europe. Check out his two blogs here, full of superb travelling blogging!

=====================================
Now for time for the third Nurton Meets World Competition
Your task should you wish to except it is to think of the best celebration party plan that you can think of to celebrate the 40th birthday of an inanimate lump of steal (Henry). My initial ideas include filling his petrol tank with some very strong sprits so he can get drunk with us!
Prize: A ride in Henry once I have got round to getting him MOT'd or before if you are feeling really crazy! For those unable to attend the event you may be eligible to receive a signed photo of Henry instead courtesy of NMW.
Normal 'Nurton Meets World' Competition rules apply:
- You can enter as many times as you like, by adding a comment to this post.
- You can enter from any country as long as it is not in the 'Axis of Evil' or the 'Axis of Just as Evil'
- Nurton's decision is final and can be swayed by bribery.
- The Competition will close on the 1st May 2005, or later if all the entries by that point are rubbish.
PS: The Name a Sitcom competition is still OPEN.

More(better) photos of Henry will follow as soon as I get round to getting him MOT'd and taxed for the summer. Please leave your birthday wishes here!
Surely if you filled the tank with spirits and started the car, wouldn't it make about 800bhp but then blow up after a couple of hundred yards?
(Admittedly, that would be a couple of hundred yards of pure burnout action.)
I don't know, there is only one way to find out.....
I say you celebrate by driving with me across devon country roads with the roof down in the sunshine to recover from mutual hangovers, before heading to a decent country pub for lunch. Oh wait, we did that last year....
OK. You don't win the competition James, but if the weather is good, and Henry passes his MOT then I likes your idea. We will go pub hunting (more fun than fox hunting and many would argue less cruel) to celebrate your half 42 (ie half way to the answer to universe, life and everything) and my completion of the dissertation extraordinaire.
Sounds like a plan to me :D
