Hmmm,not this time son,keep on trying.It was just a tad more powerful and had a British engine also.
Clue number 2,it had a stupid suspension system and 1 side was ■■■■■■,so it used to come down the road on a slant and was really good at left hand
corners.
I like Anglias,one of my mates has got an Anglia estate old D reg I think.

What a massive coincidence! My first car was also red!!!
…so BM’s MUST have been a Hillman Avenger 1600 twin carb.
Do I win a box of nails?

Bit Smaller JD,not as refined and executive as the mighty Ford Orion.
Clue 3,it was 2 door ,Beige interior and Crap hub caps which I aquired off a better model to make mine look better.

Well done Kindle.yes indeed it was a Red 1.0 lire Austin Metro,the best thing i ever did with it was stick those hub caps on it and get rid off the ■■■■■■■ thing.
Some old paint tins,Clout nails and a few damaged welding rods are on there way to Norfolk as we speak…Innovate are delivering it,just hope it gets there before its too late.

YES THATS RIGHT ITS THOMPSON TRANSPORT FROM GRIMETHORPE
That’s the first company that came to my mind as I’ve seen the odd wagon, and have passed you 
many times my friend
On the odd occasion I cover the Dearne Valley/Barnsley deliveries I come back from Barnsley along the A635 to the Darfield (Cathill) Roundabout and turn left. The next roundabout is where I’ve seen you/TT wagons the most. I go straight over that roundabout and head for Great Houghton then Thurnscoe, you lot come from (my left) is it the A6195 Pontefract, South Elmsall etc road if I remember correctly?
Next time I’m out that way, if I see you (I’ll usually be in a 13t rigid on that route) I’ll flash (the lights - before any of you jokers start )
