driving down the motorway the near side wing hinged open amd fell off.

WPO542K silver 1100 Mk 1 escort, ordered by plod to take it off the road after handbrake test by plod failed, he pushed fm the front and his oppo told me to take my foot off the foot brake, as I knew the handbrake was not that good!, Soooooooo one good shove and back we rolled into a Rover 2.3? jam sandwich and took out the head and fog lights and left a big dent Seems they couldnt claim against me as they had ordered me to take my foot off the brake pedal, but I found it impossible to take my motor on the roads thereafter as I kept being pulled over!!! I didnt worry about any damage to my little motor as the only good panel was the roof

A bedford CF van called Gladys. Claimed to be an ex tour van from the Shadows. I won it from my boss on a coin toss, so it cost me nothing - but could have cost me £100 if I had lost the toss.

Painted blue on one side and black on the other to confuse witnesses.

True story.

Unfortunately I tried to drive it down the gap between our house and the neighbours. Didn't quite work. Sorry about that soil stack Roy!
