ScoopMobile hits the road



HERE is the new-look ScoopMobile - which hit the road earlier today.
If you see one of our cars on the road let us know and we will give you a 20% discount on any of our spoof newspaper front pages.
And if you spot our boss (big nose, big ears, wears specs) driving around in one make sure you laugh at him because he is a bit self-conscious and worries that people think he looks ridiculous.
