“Two Stroke” seems an odd name for a car dealer! The Bond 875 was powered by a 4-stroke 4 cylinder engine also fitted in the Hillman Imp.

Wet & windy today down South, Buzzer
Having once in my career, a story told elsewhere, been in command of a road roller which, to my mind was in grave danger of tipping over, I would really like to know how that one came to be on its side. In my case I stayed on board but was ready to jump ship and afterwards realised how misplaced my worry was, as almost all the weight was well below the centre of gravity. So what the hell happened here? Was it hit by a runaway vehicle, a runaway itself, or did the driver really try to do something impossible with it? Anybody know?
A Leyland Comet artic in the fleet of M.A.Keenan in Liverpool. Their depot was in Blackstock Street
off Vauxhall Road, not far from the Docks and the City centre. The registration number DFA 37 is from
Burton On Trent, Staffordshire, which makes me think it was possibly new to one of the large breweries
there. Marston and Ind Coope breweries spring to mind, Burton On Trent being a large brewery town.

Maybe just a speed excess?

A runaway then, the only way you can get any speed out of those things, then a sharp turn at the bottom of a hill.
If my memory serves me, there were 3 gears on mine and the only way to change gears was to stop, if you let it roll while changing, and missed your gear it was soon too late and all you can do is hold tight and keep it straight. The footbrake was for slowing, useless for stopping, the forward and reverse lever was for that, but of course useless if you were in neutral. The handbrake was for staying stopped, once stopped.

The Buzzer photo of Holburn Junction jogs the memory along there a few times(1956) on Route No2 Dyce to Culter through the city with a trusty Leyland Titan PD2.
