Merry Christmas CF me old China ? How’s it going ? Have Leatherhead Social Services given you a firm date for when you will be released from your secure accommodation back into society ? I hope you are still being polite to Matron and not kicking off when she prevents you from continuing to annoy all those nice members of TNUK !
Anyway CF all the best for Christmas and the New Year .
Bewick.
Same to you Bewick have a nice Christmas and New Year .I’ll be up your way tomorrow I’ve got a delivery to Glasgow.I always like the run through Cumbria.Shame it’s December not June will be getting dark around 3pm.
Looking closely at the blurred front I’m wondering if it’s a Ford Pilot.

That old Ford…Prefect? Anglia?
Me and a couple of schoolmates had one of them, same model, as boys, that we used to drive on an aifield.
Jeez it’s a wonder we were’nt killed how we used to chuck it about.
Good for us it was not TOO fast.
I’ve alerted the M6 Gendarmes to be on the look out for a noisy smoky DD8v ? that will deserve a pull and the driver should be locked up in the Shap village chokey for the night ! a terrible place apparently frequented over the years by many Scotsmen !
Or maybe you could arrange a bed for CF at yours Dennis and you could have a few drinks and he could put you right on the art of roping and sheeting and the reasoning why you should never of entertained a 180 Gardner😀
I always was told that Three Wise Men came on camels from the east at Christmas and not One extremely knowledgeable individual from Leatherhead in a DD8v unit 
I take it there’s no invite then 
Father Christmas couldn’t use a Detroit, it’d waken all the children.

Hi Dennis,
Good to see you here, and trust that you & Anne are both well?
Buzzer, is that a Bradford?
Back at Leeton I presume. How did he secure the Falcons? I don’t think the handbrake and sticking it in P would’ve worked 
I think back in the day, pre-straps, they would have roped the wheels. The old AB 180 wouldn’t have had enought oomph to chuck the cars off the back or sides, and seriously doubtful the brakes were good enough to make a frontal departure possible. 
That seems likely.
A rope barrel hitch around each corner will do a lot to stop any movement. It worked on ex-Army Bedford 4x4s (each with a Land Rover in the back) coming out of the Ruddington auctions.
As an aside Ruddington are still there.
