A mate had one of these, he liked it until it and he fell off the road by the Mount Olympus in SOS, it took a bit of getting out from between the trees by all accounts. Definitely more cruiser than sports car.
Haha, he bagged it on Mount Bank? Or more like coming out of Wilden Top Lane and straight on?
Towed a few from there back in the day, and Charlton Farm Bend - out of the wall.
He was coming down the bank, maybe from the White Hart knowing him, didn't make the bend. I'm pretty local, Cleobury, got a bunch of mates in Stourport, one less now tho, he got left dead in a ditch after walking back along that lane from Wilden Top 5 years or so back
Very probably I lived just off the Switchback as a kid before moving up this way too.
I've walked down that lane with Mat after being at the cricket club and it's very dark but I've always got a torch on me. The cunt that killed him was driving an uninsured Skyline after midnight apparently at no more than the speed limit. He moved back to Poland after getting 18 months in prison iirc? Probably a good move for him as Mat was well known and well liked
Bearing in mind I've sold the beast, obviously stuff have fallen off. I didn't want to, and don't really, but we have made a decision vehicle-wise. The one where I suggested a van but was vetoed, bought the Scudo, then the light was seen just after I had the Vectra as well. So now, two out, hopefully one in, not like I said I the first place, no, not at all.
