Uncertain motor, 2007, Acrylic on unprimed canvas, 106.5x122cm.
This painting was inspired by my Orange1975 Citroen Dianne. A vehicle I owned from
1981-1983. During 1981 I drove it for several thousand miles around Europe and on one
occasion drove from Kreutzberg in Berlin to London with my accelerator pedal firmly pressed to
the floor all the time, the car loved it.
While in former Yugoslavia my tent was stolen and I was forced to sleep on the back seat of the
car. It is almost impossible to sleep on the back seat of a Dianne due to its strange design. I
became an expert in tuning the carburettor, so I could make it cruise at 80+ mph!
On another occasion in Yugoslavia my battery was not holding its charge so I took it to a garage,
they found the fault and the bill was 50 pence. This car was superb to drive in the snow and ice
and you could take speed bumps at any speed!
