It was a bright sunny day when DNXY was born,as he wandered out through the big door,the first thing he saw was a big area full of all his own kind all chattering to each other.It was a strange language.but he seemed to inderstand,there was a space in the car park,so tucking his mirrors in,he bought his wheels to a stop.
"Hello who are youand where are you off to", said the blue bus next to him.
"Im off to the country", said the white bus parked the other side.
You see DNXY had`nt got a name yet,he looked around,a man put a peice of paper on his window,he strained to look but all he could see was a long number and the words "CITY".
Buses were slowly being loaded on to large trucks it would be his turn soon.
DNXY was dozing when his engine started,he was off up the ramps and onto the big truck.
"Oooo this is high",he said to himself,he could see over all the buses still waiting,he could see over the fence,and there in the distance was the city.
"we are all going to a van hotel" said a Lucy who ran up the ramps behind him. The big lory stopped and when it was his turn he ran down the ramps.
Once a week a young boy would wash his paintwork and clean his lights,he had never seen so many cars racing past. I wonder where they are all going to he thought,Then one day a family came by,that`s just what we need said the lady to the man and such a nice colour. DNXY had his paper changed it now read SOLD.
The man and lady took him home where there was two children,they climbed all over him,he was happy,for many years he was with the family,he loved taking the children to school and at weekends he would have his paintwork cleaned.
Then one day while waiting for the children ,he overheard some cars talking about a magical place called "England". Where people were doing things called "Bling". That sounds like fun he thought,not knowing that one day he would see it for himself.
Well that time camewhere the nice family did`nt want him anymore,he was sad,he went back to the van hotel,there he waited and waited,then one day a man came along and put a sticker on his screen it said "EXPORT".
A big ship was waiting for him he went up the ramp.as he entered the hold he shouted "Where are we going". And from the shadows came the reply "ENGLAND".
It took weeks for the big ship to stop,then the doors were opened and when he rolled down the ramp he looked around,so this is England. He was off on another big truck and taken to yet another van hotel,where he slept for days.
A man came with a drill."I dont like the look of that "he muttered as the man bent down in front of him. OUCH and OUCH he cried. There you are D-N-X. he had now got a proper name. DNXY saw another man coming towards him with a drill. "Oh no,not again"he said as a plate was put on him,it read "TAXI".
"Whats a TAXI" he wondered.
DNXY worked hard in the big city taking people ,here ,there,and everywhere,and doing the school run,he remembered how it used to be.
Then one day all the plates were taken off and he was passed on to a nice lady who drove him home,where he found he would be with children,but this time it was something called Nursery School,for a long time he did this but was not cleaned so often,he got sweet papers and other things stuffed down his seats,he was tired of his life,he got a nasty cough and smoke poured out of him,he was poorly,he started to tighten up and his oil got thicker and thicker till he could do no more.
Then one day a man came along and took him away,where he was slowly brought back to health,all the sweet papers and things were removed,and he was washed and polished. DNXY smiled. But his heart was still not working,his engine was cleaned and he had new oil poured into him,he got some new boots,lights were put on him.
DNXY you now "BLING" said the man ,he now enjoys life with his new family,people look at him and wave,he is so proud,he as met new friends like himself , they spend weekends away together and have such fun, at any opportunity he his off on a run.
DNXY and his new owner ACE can often be seen together,so if you do see DNXY say hello,he will always say hello back.

To the seaside

The weather forecast said it was going to be sunny all next week , can we go to the seaside,can we,cried Ivory excitedly,oh yes can we Sol chirped in , Dnxy looked at both rolled his eyes and agreed .it would be nice, yippee Ivory skipped around the carpark.
“Ok get some sleep we will go tomorrow” said Dnxy.
“look at her” said Sol “it will take ages for Ivory to calm down”.
Dnxy sighed closed his eyes and tried to cut out the night-time sounds.
Dnxy was woken suddenly by the sound of sirens,it made him jump,it was Ivory and Sol,Dnxy frowned at them,they giggled in the corner .
“What time is it” asked Dnxy
“Time for the seaside” Ivory cried.
“6 o`clock” said Sol.
“WHAT ,its to early, to early” sighed Dnxy
“So what time are we going” asked Ivory.
“When it says 8 on the church clock” explained Dnxy
“Now please be quiet” Dnxy added.“Besides the grown ups are not awake yet”
Time soon pasted, the clock struck 8,and the families were ready, Ivory bounced on her boots as the kids clambered in, they were soon off ,Ivory shouted to all she passed .

” We are off to the seaside yippee”.
“Where we going” asked Sol.
“Motorway”. replied Dnxy” keep a eye out for a big blue sign.”
Sol led the way with Dnxy at the rear and Ivory in the middle ,after a few miles the three friends turned south onto the motorway. They were heading for Brean , where they would meet up with others for a great time.

There were many vehicles heading south ,the three of them were travelling quite fast as Ivory asked a caravan outfit .”Where you going”.
“Torbay” was the reply”How about you.”
“Err where was it again Dnxy” Ivory asked.
“Brean junction 22”Yelled Sol.
“When will we get there” Ivory kept on
”Soon” said Dnxy.
Junction 22 soon came into sight and they turned off, and followed the signs for Brean, it was lunchtime when they arrived,and the families started to set up camp.
“When are we going to the beach” Ivory asked excitedly.
“Not yet,maybe later,when the others arrive”Dnxy replied.It was mid-afternoon when they finally went to the beach.

All three ran up and down the beach and spinning round.”This is fun”. Squealled Ivory.A great time was had.”When can we do this again”said Ivory.
“Tomorrow was the reply when all the others arrive”.said Dnxy. All three agreed this was going to be the best time ever.

The next day broke with a mist across the campsite, slowly the pals began to stir, and the sun was starting to rise. With a big yawn Dnxy asked the others “Did you sleep well”.
“Yes, not bad” replied Sol shaking the morning dew off herself. “What about you”. ”Eventually, once the party in the corner had finished” Dnxy said with a smile on his face. ”Oh Ivory, Ivory, time to wake up, little one”Dnxy whispered.
Ivory stretched and shook herself. “Morning guys is it time for the beach yet” she asked.
“Not yet, first all the grown ups have to get up and do there thing, then the children are going to play games” informed Sol.
“And Uncle Toby and Van Anni have yet to arrive”. Replied Dnxy.
“I know lets all go down the shops, and i`ve heard there is a market”. Said Sol.
Sol looked at Dnxy, Dnxy looked at Sol, they both looked at Ivory and in unison all yelled out ”BLING”. So off they roared. It was lunchtime when they returned through the gates ,with thing to hang up, things to stick on and things to do later, as they rounded the corner, there was Toby. “Uncle Toby, Uncle Toby” screamed Ivory “you came while we were out” she added. Sol and Dnxy rolled there eyes.

“I know “Toby said “Hi guys”. “Hello Toby” Sol and Dnxy said. “Good trip down”
“It was better than last time when I got all hot and bothered” Toby added.
“Excuse me “said a voice from behind, they looked round. “Van Anni” Ivory screamed “You are here to”. ”I`ve pitched opposite you Ivory”.” Oh good “said Ivory “We can chat all night” replied. The famous five were all together.
The clock soon said four; it was time for the beach.
“Ok everyone “ Dnxy yelled “Let’s get ready to----“. “Rumble” Ivory shouted cheekily.
So Dnxy stood by the gate and Sol, Ivory, Toby and Van Anni and the rest of the crowd followed on. Out through the campsite they slowly crept, people just stopped and looked, out onto the the road, as they went passed the local pub, drinkers put down there drinks and stared. “Mercy sakes, looks like we got us a convoy” yelled Sol. “Here we go”Dnxy cried as he turned through the gate and on to the beach, each one sounding there horn as they entered the beach area. Holiday makers stopped what they were doing and just stared as bus after bus after bus, they just kept coming. As Dnxy stopped on the beach the others soon followed and all lined,

“Look who’s there, remember us “. Someone cried, it was a the nasty Beach Patrol, he had chased them last time, and he was out to get them.
So this time it was agreed that instead of racing down the beach this time they would all drive slowly. The signal was made and the buses moved off , slowly getting up to the dizzy heights of 15mph. Beach Patrol was not happy he couldn’t chase anybody and they all sounded there horns as they went passed him, holiday makers who were driving pulled over, families playing stopped what they were doing to take pictures and waved, When the group got to as far as they could go they turned round for more pictures to be taken, and again nice and gently started back the way they came, it wasn’t long before there was chimes in the air. “Can I join you please”? It was the local ice cream truck, Bertie Bedford

Soon he was speeding away with the others;” This is fun” he chimed. “I’m down here 7 days a week and never had so much fun”. At the end of the drive, the group slowly formed up to leave the beach, and has they did, they passed the Beach Patrol and all sounded there horns once again, see you next time they all shouted. “See you next year “shouted Bertie. “You bet” was the mass reply.
When they got back to camp they were all exhausted it had been a fun day, Dnxy stopped turning his wheels and slowly drifted off to Toyota Land.
