Meet Brian de Grane

Meet Brian de Grane

Brian de Grane sells used cars. Brian de Grane, Quality Used Vehicles at an affordable price. Brian de Grane has a thin pencil moustache. Bring your sons down to the yard; we'll have them selling within a week. Brian de Grane speaks in an invidious, insidious, sleazy-caressing boom. Bring page 105 your daughters down to the yard; we'll get them working in the office, and doing a bit of modelling on the side. It is difficult to convey on the page quite how successfully repulsive Brian de Grane is.

He emerges when Jonathan is bored, or happy, or suffering from an excess of energy; he was born, fully formed, like Venus, at a birthday of Terry Crayford's, Jonathan's father. Jonathan went into the bathroom with a full beard, and came out moustachioed, transformed. Someone else. Brian de Grane, Quality Used Vehicles.
