ost of the calendars sent to the Hawk this year have been extremely sensible, so it is refreshing to learn that Ferodo has produced two calendars for 1993 featuring fish and "glamour girls". Cod a load of this, squire.
The fish calendar, Watercolours, features tropical superstars such as the Mandarin and Feather Star Crinoids (completely nude) and will "brighten the wall of any home or office", according to Ferodo. Conversely, Mexican Carnival, which favours "glamorous girls photographed on location in Mexico" is "a must for any garage workshop". Fish versus glamorous girls. Plaice your orders now.

Its organisers would welcome contributions from CM readers of old transport films and videos that are no longer required. TAF says the films will not be copied for resale but only used at film shows where all money raised goes to charity. So if you have old films you were thinking of binning, ring Reg Johnson at TAF on (0604) 406758. Horses for courses Id he Hawk learns that Riders for Romania have just returned from their third annual convoy to help five orphanages and a hospital that the charity has supported since 1990.
The volunteer team is made up of eventers and showjumpers but, fear not, they did not have to trot all the way to Romania with the 45 tonnes of clothes, toys and medical aid they had collected. BRS Bristol, Reading Leyland Daf and BRS Basingstoke between them supplied sufficient tractive units and trailers. A last-minute spur came from £8,500 collected at performances at the Horse of the Year Show in Wembley a week before the riders set off.
Rod wears it well as ageing rocker Rod Stewart, now apparently happily married to model Rachel Hunter, decided to part company with his collection of fast cars?
At least one has gone under the hammer at ADT Blackbushe. Rocking Rod's 1988 Lamborghini Countach QV was sold to Glasgow businessman David Bennett for £61,500 with just 14,000 miles on the clock. No doubt, the less than excessive roadwear was clocked up ferrying the tartan terror from his kidney-shaped swimming pool to his private tennis court. Child Lane ristol's Lane Group encourages its drivers to win brownie points from the public by displaying a sign on some vehicles reading, "If you see this vehicle being driven discourteously, please telephone."
Fair enough. But an anxious caller claimed she had seen one of their tractors units being driven by a child. Fortunately, the "child" turned out to be one of Lane's women drivers who is rather, er, petite.
