(A childrens story!)(Adult Version is below)

"Flying Purple Pig & the Red Dog toy used to live at Ham Farm, just outside of London. They are best friends. They they have now helped lots of tourists when they came to London and they have now turned back into a real Purple Pig & real dog again. Nearby lives a man called Mr. Driver, he still works for us helping the Tourists get to their destinations."

 

Once upon a time there was a Purple Pig & a Red Dog living on a farm called Ham Farm, just outside of London. They were best friends. Nearby lived a man called Mr. Driver. One Saturday, Mr. Driver decided to visit Ham Farm to buy some eggs, and say hello to the Red Dog & the Purple Pig. He bought the eggs from the farmer and asked him where the Red Dog & the Purple Pig were. The farmer said he had not seen them for a day or two, and he said that he was worried about them. Mr. Driver went to look for the Red Dog & the Purple Pig, but they were nowhere to be seen. He looked everywhere, in the barn, in the cow shed, even in the farmers wife's vegetable garden. The Red Dog & the Purple Pig were missing! Now Mr. Driver was worried too!

That night Mr. Driver could not sleep. He kept hearing crying outside his window. When he looked, he could not see anything - it is very dark at night outside of London. He decided he would have a better look in the morning and see if he could see anything then,

Next Morning Mr. Driver got out of bed, washed and cleaned his teeth and ate his breakfast, before getting dressed and going outside. He looked for whoever may have been crying last night. As Mr. Driver walked along his pathway to his gate, he saw to his right, there in the middle of his garden, something Red. Mr. Driver had found a Red Dog! But this was not the Red Dog from the farm, it was a toy one, with a wobbly head! Imagine that! Mr. Driver picked up the Red Dog and then stopped moving to listen. The Red Dog toy was crying! Imagine that! A Red Dog toy with a wobbly head in the middle of the garden - crying! Mr. Driver rushed back inside his house with the Red Dog toy in his hand, and checked the ingredients on his cereal box - yes, indeed, he checked the ingredients twice!

Luckily there was no MSG in the breakfast cereal, so he placed the Red Dog toy on the table and listened again. Yes, the Red Dog toy was definitely crying. "Whatever is the matter?" asked Mr Driver. The crying stopped suddenly and a little voice said, "The Fairy, Miss Jeevious Lurky, from Alberkerky, was flying over the farm on her broomstick and saw me barking at an American Tourist riding a bicycle past the farm. When he fell of his bike she came down and turned me into a nodding Red Dog toy! She said I must help lots of tourists when they come to London before I will turn back into a real dog again." Then the Red Dog toy added, "I'm so sad, will you help me Mr Driver?". Mr Driver said he would think about it, but told the Red Dog toy what a naughty dog he had been to bark at the American Tourist and make him fall off his bicycle.

Later that day, with the Red Dog toy in his pocket, Mr. Driver went outside again. Over the fence, beyond the gate, Mr. Driver saw a Purple Car, parked on the road. "That's funny.", said Mr. Driver softly, "I'm not expecting anyone today.". As Mr. Driver approached the Purple car, he noticed it was a Chrysler Grand Voyager. Mr. Driver had always wanted a Chrysler Grand Voyager and this one was new too! Mr Driver started to walk around the Car when he suddenly heard crying again. "What is the matter now Red Dog toy?", he asked. "Nothing, I am not crying, it's coming from the car!", said the Red Dog toy. "Now that is really strange", said Mr. Driver,"First a Red Dog toy is crying and now a Purple Chrysler Grand Voyager is crying, whatever next?".

Mr Driver decided to ask the car what was wrong, and the Purple Chrysler said, " The Fairy, Miss Jeevious Lurky, from Alberkerky, was flying over the farm on her broomstick and saw me chasing an American Tourist riding a bicycle past the farm. When he fell of his bike she came down and turned me into a Purple Chrysler Voyager called the Flying Purple Pig! She said I must help lots of tourists when they come to London before I will turn back into a real Purple Pig again." The Purple Chrysler then added, "I'm so sad, will you help me Mr. Driver?". Mr Driver said he would because he had the Red Dog toy in his pocket and could help them both. He then told the Purple Chrysler what a naughty pig he had been to chase the American Tourist and make him fall off his Bicycle. Mr Driver said he would go to bed and think about what they could do to help the Tourists visiting London.

Next morning Mr Driver woke up early, he had an idea. Mr Driver got out of bed, washed and cleaned his teeth and ate his breakfast, before getting dressed and going outside with the Red Dog toy in his pocket. He walked up to the Purple Chrysler and whispered very quietly to the Red Dog, (now a nodding Red Dog toy), & the Purple Pig, (now a Chrysler Grand Voyager Car). Suddenly the Purple Pig shouted out very loud! He shouted, "Yes, yes, yes, what a Marvelous idea! Climb inside, you shall be my Driver, Mr Driver!". And so it is, Mr. Driver drives the Flying Purple Pig, and together with the Red Dog toy they travel to and from London's Airports, helping all the tourists when they visit London.

And you know what?
Now lots of people help the Flying Purple Pig & the Red Dog toy and they have helped enough tourists now, and the Red Dog & the Purple Pig have now returned to Ham Farm and live happily together! And Mr. Driver, well he decided to carry on helping tourists when they come to England, so look out for him when mum & dad bring you over to London!

 


The story about how the 'Flying Purple Pig' was born!
(Adult Version)

The Flying Purple Pig name came about from a client back in the 1990's. We used to have a very nice Luxury Leather Interior Grand Chrysler Voyager 7 Seater which was purple. it's registration was "P19 OLE", so we used to call it "Pig Hole" - it was anything but this.

When one of our clients called and asked for "The Flying Purple Pig", we renamed it. We were then surprised how well this name stuck, and people from all over the world starting calling and asking for "The Flying Purple Pig", and one of our clients even designed the Flying Purple Pig logo below for us!!!

We then realized that we needed a website - just for this one vehicle which had struck at everyones imagination. The Childrens Story above was developed by a member of staff (they obviously have too much time on their hands!), and we are looking for help, as we hope this could be published into a full length childrens book in the UK at some stage.

Unfortunately, after over 370,000 miles and many 1000's of clients, "The flying Purple Pig" has passed it's best and has moved on, back to the farm (ScrapYard in the sky or whatever?). We still use the Flying Pig logo, and still offer the same great services, but now we use an executive Volkswagen Caravelle. Unfortunately it is blue!
