Memories ... Here’s one for the
old timers. I parked beside an old Land Rover that hadn’t moved for a while but
the tyres were still inflated. And then I looked at the brand! Boy, did
that bring back memories.
Once upon a time this was the
budget rally tyre of choice. Ex privateer and works rally driver (in the70s and
80s) Fred Henderson was a regular sight at rallies with the Colway truck. Now
he concentrates on his vehicle breakdown and recovery business and car sales.
He’s also written a book about
his exploits in the recovery game, a sort of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’,
but with mechanics and motor cars in place of vets and animals. If you fancy a
light hearted read that’s not too taxing on the old napper, then it’s well
worth dipping into at bedtime.
I fair enjoyed it.
