"Sandra’s divorce settlement was particularly messy."

"…. and the insurance is still twice what it was last year!!"

"The insurance claim form made for very interesting reading after Karen’s ill advised trip to the industrial saw mill."

Sheila was feeling optimistic on the way to the scrutineering bay that she hadn’t lightened the shell too much. “Still maintains the silhouette!!”

Fabulous, I know exactly where that picture was taken and is in fact still the Police station!...the Chapel over to the right background stood until fairly recently. The Railway was directly behind the trees and the direct background now is an Aldi, McDonalds complex. My Dads first 997 Cooper was in a similar series of registrations 2 DDM!!

Great history! I had a 1970 Mini Clubman which I sold over two years ago with the registration CDM and still had the original dealership keyring from Automobile Palace in Llanfairpwll on Anglesey.
