'Like s..t off a shovel.'

John Hardy wrote in utterly British wording:"I've got to report that I have entered the ranks of the hallowed, yet generally derided, ranks of Vintage Bentley owners. I succumbed to the temptation when offered a 1926 3/4=. It's still got it's original body which is NOT a Lemans rep, nor is it green. I didn't believe the hype but I'm here to tell you that it is quite brisk in it's performance. In fact goes like s**t off a shovel. Despite risks to the contrary I will assiduously continue to cultivate the filth under my fingernails and oil on my trousers. I hereby publicly invite anyone who sees me in a cravat or hears me uttering words like "pension fund" or "shareholding" or "Sothebys" to shoot me forthwith. It is my unavowed intention to remain uncouth, vulgar and curmugeonly not to mention downright offensive. I must be mad. At least it's not another project." Congratulations John!
