Your chance to join the palomino club
This week on ebay, a Palomino in not quite pristine condition. Obviously, I shall be declaring a fatwa on the author of the advert, who describes it as "ugly betty", but in the meantime, the bidding stands at £435.
Wow - the seller really did have an attitude problem about that poor van! Apparently this guy's a dealer, so I doubt he's actually owned the Palomino in the true sense anyway. His loss - he's probably done himself out of some money with his ill-advised rantings, because besides being a bit tatty, the van looked like quite an easy-fixer to me.
And I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered by his inclusion of a stolen picture of Claude as an example of a 'nice' Palomino. Insulted, I think, given the rest of the comments!

Maybe I'll carry out your fatwa, Ian!
