If there are any amateur botanists about, I'd really love to know the name of this particular shrub...

My first car.

Obviously I didn't take the photo because that's me in it, but I thought I'd show it off anyway.

'63 Austin Freeway. six cylinder, auto, hydraulic shockies. It was a derelict car when I found it and towed it home to my Dad. He fixed it up and painted it for me.

Thanks for the ID, pimpy.  I've just googled it and it looks like I'm going to have to get rid of it ASAP.

All parts of the plant, including the roots, are poisonous. Symptoms can include salivation, vomiting, diarrhoea and nervous system disturbances with excessive excitement, tremor, hallucinations, delirium and seizures. Death has been reported in dogs. Seek urgent medical attention if berries or seeds are ingested.

Incidentally, re the image of your first car... was it an Austin Freeway by any chance?

Edit: Never mind, I've just seen the above message. 🙂
