Easy for you to say you obviously never had a purple Morris Marina.

My 1st one was that colour, a coupe.
I remember the colour was called Black Tulip

:)

Black tulip haha, I was actually too young to have one but as a kid I remember generally them being purple beige or orange round our way.

I had a mate who had one - proper wreck in white with a brown interior - no synchro on 2nd and plenty of rot but well worth the £30 he paid for 6 months MOT - He called it the flying nappy

Yeah it was actually pretty fast.

My 2nd one was beige, 1st car I bought when I got to Oz. It was dead cheap, no rust and had a 3 litre V6 :)

If you look up HubNut on YT then just before the pandemic he went to OZ and NZ - he drove a 6 cylinder Marina amongst other exotica - great viewing and all in Dukes of Hazard Orange

Not really :)

That is such a good routine, ending is brilliant too.

I suspect you're right and he's not actually sorry. he's likely sorry that he's getting a load of shit, and he's sorry his daughter disowned him, and sorry that he's facing consequences for writing something a load of people found abhorrent, but not sorry for writing it.

Which makes a series of public and private (until you publicly reveal them) apologies even more contemptous.

I think we've devalued the public apology. It seems everyday there is a new social media outrage demanding someone apologises for something, and an ensuing act of public self-flagelation.
We reap what we sow in this respect - faux offense gets (and deserves) faux apology.

This is absolutely hilarious. He must have completely forgotton about this too, or he'd have tried to use it in his excuse making.

Literally turned into the thing he complained about.

Yep. Like Lee said, 'it's almost as if it isn't real' .
Performative outrage.

You should start a thread for you to publicly apologise...
