What you are looking for is a tube like gizmo that has a shoe lace sticking out of it. If you see it, keep it well clear of a cigarette or naked flame, they tend to have, a short fuse.

Re: breakdown truck
Now I know why loads of Beetle pictures showed up when I Googled VW 1600. That was the only badge on the car. It stirred my curiosity when I saw the tail lights. My next door neighbour, where I lived in London, had a BMW 2002 that had similar tail lights.

Re: breakdown truck
Sorry GHT, it is an 1800. This is a model of the Pininfarina proposed restyle on the land crab platform. As far as I know the original does still exist..... Pretty sure I've got one of these models somewhere. John Well you live & learn John, are there any photos of the full size car? My car knowled...

Re: breakdown truck
Maybe one of us has had too much wine. That Matchbox toy claims to be a BMC 1800. It's just not ugly enough to be a land crab. My sister had the land crab, I wouldn't get in it.

Re: breakdown truck
This just in: I may have used the term "abacus" incorrectly. I'm reliably informed that I must have intended to write "Abba Cuss," which means an oath uttered by a member of an enduring and ultimately harmless, Swedish pop group. Oh come on, it's the middle of the night, that's all I've got! :oops:...

Re: breakdown truck
"Flowery Twats," is a new one on me. but I do remember a headline on the news stand, most probably the oh so prissy Daily Wail, that was going on about "Farty Towels," it went right over my head, only weeks later did I pick up on the fact that the Fawlty Towers sign constantly changed. You live and ...

Re: breakdown truck
You have never seen red dwarf? If you like daft comedy i can recommend it. Others have said much the same. My wife and I married in 1968, we bought our first television in 1998, and that was only because when my mother-in-law visited she wanted to watch daytime TV soap operas. We have yet to see th...

Re: breakdown truck
There are some things in life that are just plain spooky. How do I know that is a character from Red Dwarf, when I have never seen Red Dwarf, ever? It was the same when Richard Whiteley died suddenly. He presented a show called Countdown, I have never seen Countdown, yet when my Godson texted me on ...
