The Furring
Conscious of the fact that we had to live up to our name, not least our reputation, the collection of idiots chose to meet at Dennis' location near Bath in order to fur our mighty noble steed. 135m2 of fur was provided by Hillside Textiles and 60 tubes of glue were very kindly donated by Bostik. Used together, they would encase Dennis in a protective shield of fur, as well as hiding from us the rather large and ever so worrying patches of rust, thereby further contributing to the theory of out of sight and out of mind.
The chances of the Polar Bear species remaining on this planet were reduced further when 6 members of the Great Balls of Fur team arrived in 6 cars to the location. Collective minds were at ease when initial reports by the author of the pink tinge to the red fur proved incorrect once pulled out of the wrapper and into the natural light. Henceforth, the transition began of Dennis from a Fire Engine to a Fur Engine.
