  • You might just have given Barbult an idea. Truform does a really nice Merc Sprinter look-alike over at Rendo & would be able to reach the steering wheel fron the seat.

    Regards,

    Richard

    Who knew I had Van cat in my ancestry? Probably why I am an excellent driv...no, resist that temptation.

    I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Van cat. How do you know so much? You always post things I have no idea about - cultural and historical references to places, people, and things i never heard of. Are you a retired humanities professor or something, or just extremely well educated, or just worldly and curious?

    Richard (wisely) restricts his driving to the securely mounted, mechanical, child-sized vehicles where you put in the quarter for a couple minutes of motion.

    The last if anything (definitely odd).

    Odd is OK. I learn things from you, Daz related and otherwise.

    Turkish Van cats are usually white with an orange tail

    I used to wish I had some everytime I had to wash a cat

    it was never a good experience for me or the cat surprise

    not done lightly but things like rolling in the chicken manure then sleeping on my bed necessitated it

    Richard knows everything. His household has no need for encyclopedias.

    So it seems. Or maybe they have a really good set that he has already memorized.

    The Lifeguard

    The Daz forum isn't what it used to be. User participation is way down. People give up after continually getting gateway errors. Richard has become bored with being a Daz forum administrator. How will he ever reach his next forum-post-count milestone if there are so few posts to moderate? In search of a more challenging occupation, and now that he has self-identified as an excellent swimmer, he is trying out for a position as beach lifeguard. He has been told that the jet ski is off limits to him, though.

    (This is almost a "Where's Waldo", but I swear Richard is in this render. And there are lots of LowPis to fill the sand and surf. Richard needs someone to save, in case of accident.)

    So Richard isn't the only one to have heard of Van cats.

    I am suddenly remembering that "curiosity killed the cat". Be carefult out there! 

  • Postman Pat definitely had a Van cat.  See youtube videos for examples.

  • Ah, found me - at least I won't need to use the stairs if I need to rush to the rescue.

    No wonder you are hard to see - the trouble is you are almost the same colour as those torpedo buoys hanging on the railings!

    The lady in the deckchair on the right has been out in the sun too long, her face has melted off! No wonder the child is staring at her, he's probably traumatized. (or maybe be she applied a really excessive amount of sunscreen)

    Did I miss a joke here? The internet sayw "The name of the cat in Postman Pat is Jess. Jess is a black and white tuxedo cat".
    Oh, I see, he rides in a van. Got it.

    How else do you plan to get down? Are you going to jump off the upper deck?

    Richard is a boy, but not a buoy. Is someone going to get confused?

    That's just DOF for ya (and LowPi low resolution faces that you don't really want to look at in detail anyway).

    he does blend in rather well. It was just one of those unplanned coincidences.

    Thanks, Wendy!

    From the link:"Daniel Reeves, who lived alone on a quiet patch of land outside Laramie, had taken in the fiery little cat months earlier. The animal quickly became his best companion, always bringing warmth and chaos in equal measure."  fiery, warmth, chaos, that certainly sounds like Richard Haseltine. He must have missed the horse he gave to Milly so much that he ran off and found a new one. At least he came back home.

    I had never heard of a Van Cat, so googled it. A 'dog-like' cat! https://cfa.org/breed/turkish-van/.

    What a cat and thanks for the information.

    Sure, it's soft ground and not that far down for a cat.

    A cat-rustler. Or perhaps, a cat that rustles.

    I like to render bad ideas. The new Snake Bridge for UltraScenery2 was a perfect setting for such a thing. 

    Richard Haseltine: I know a thing or two about bad ideas. I could see this one coming a mile away.

    Jack took Richard punting on the river. As soon as they left dry land, it was obvioulsy a big mistake.
