Gary, have you any shots of Brian Porters wrecker? It used to be a regular at the Tyne Tees Run but was sold on after he died. He was a larger than life character!!! His mobility scooter was also a regular sight at rallies, he never sounded the horn, but you knew he was around 
He could never be called “the quiet man” 
Regards Kev.
