When I got up this morning
and took my first glance out of the window I was slightly startled to see this
parked outside.

Round here we’re more used
to town centre workers and Saturday shoppers using the street for convenient
free parking so it did at least provide some novelty value. There’s clearly some type of protest
being made here and a touch of cut-price anarchy about that matt black paint
job, although it doesn’t quite have the street poetry or philosophical
underpinnings of the best Situationist graffiti. I am rather charmed by the quite careful but slightly wonky lettering though. Anyway, I guess it’s an alternative example of an
urban text and must allow Tim to take it to all the streets.

Luckily, the Transit didn't explode and was gone by the time I’d
showered so I’ll probably never know what’s written on the other sides. Mostly, I suppose it’s just one of
those slightly incongruous little events that keep the everyday interesting.
