Dear Sir,

You complained that the item in question is neither a Jet nor a Jeep.

We agree; however, the writing is too small to be considered an advertisement.


Yours etc,

Danny, I can only assume that he's sat on the engine and what you see going through the bulkhead above & behind him is the prop-shaft.

I'll no doubt be corrected if wrong!
