Rover the Top

Troubled artist and former Lunatic Lucy guitarist Alastair Dracup, was involved in a bizarre stunt involving a Rover 75 and a swimming pool, it was revealed yesterday.

It appears Dracup, 35, has once again fallen into his old ways of rock and roll excess, amidst the backdrop of rumours that the seminal 90’s rock group Lunatic Lucy were to reform. During one of his food fuelled lunch breaks, the Wild man of Rock plunged new depths of hedonism.

One eye-witness said “We saw the whole thing. We didn’t realise he was famous.”

The incident occurred during the early hours of Wednesday afternoon outside Maidstone Leisure Centre, where he had parked the classic car in a Parent and Child bay without apparently qualifying for the space. An official from the local swimming pool and amenity centre said he was asked politely to move his car to a normal bay.

When questioned, Dracup offered the following explanation, “I felt so embarrassed. I apologised and moved it immediately. I did think at the time it looked a bit bigger than the rest.”

His long-suffering girlfriend said “Alastair may seem crazy sometimes when he does these things, but I think it’s a cry for help. He’s promised to go on an advanced driver’s course to help with his problem.”

Other stars to have owned a “75” include Fred Dinenage and Mao Tse-Tung.
