Notes: Jack is the only one excited by their latest rift find. A double drabble.

'Would you look at that,' Jack said, his eyes lighting up as the SUV rounded the corner and came face to face with their latest delivery courtesy of the rift.

'What a hunk of old junk,' Owen muttered, spotting the rusted skeleton of a vehicle parked on its side, blocking the entrance to a fast food drive through.

'Junk? Junk?' Jack repeated, thoroughly incredulous at Owen's assessment. 'That is a 1926 Rolls Royce Phantom! It's the Bugatti Veyron of its day!'

'Right, now I know he's serious when he starts rattling off cars like an enthusiast,' Ianto said.

'That car is beyond value,' Jack continued to lecture. 'You two don't know what a privilege this is.'

'I know how much that car crushing plant down in Newport will give us for it,' Owen replied. 'Thirty quid, Ianto?'

'On a good day.'

'We're not crushing that car!' Jack yelled, ending the discussion.

'Alright! No need to get your knickers in a knot,' Owen said. Jack scowled at him before getting out to take a closer look at it, caressing the rusting bodywork.

'Ten quid says he shagged someone in one of those,' Owen offered.

'Not much of a bet,' Ianto replied.
