You’re giving me the horn

A HORNY bull has fallen in love with a car that’s been turned into a four-wheeled Highland cow.

Randy Roddy has already had his way with all the cows on his farm and now has his eyes on hairy beauty Morag.

But his come-hither looks are to no avail as Morag’s creator, Hilary Barker, is making sure to keep them apart.

Hilary created Morag for Team Jackie Moo-art, my team in the upcoming Mongol Rally.

The team, including Jim Suttie, 44, and Hugh Murray, 65, will set off from Glasgow on Friday to raise cash for Sir Jackie Stewart’s Race Against Dementia charity.

But Hilary, who runs Highland Cow Art from her Perthshire farm, has had her work cut out making sure the Fiesta stays in one piece.

She said: “You can just see Roddy staring and drooling. He’s been giving the car his mating call. But I daren’t let him loose. He’d flip the car over.”

Hilary was stunned but delighted to be asked to convert the car, supplied by Peoples Ford, for the 10,000mile trek to Mongolia.

She said: “It’s fun thinking this car will be making people smile across a third of the world.”

Morag will take part in a parade lap with more than 300 other cars at Goodwood race track on Sunday before heading to Mongolia.

Sir Jackie said: “The Highland cow is a great symbol of Scotland. I’m sure it will attract a lot of attention while hopefully raising lots of money for Race Against Dementia.” For informatio­n or to make a donation go to www.team jackiemoo-art.com
