[warren t claim]

Another question please!

[lancashireclamper]

Were they the 3 you had in mind Warren? (Had to really trawl the depths of what passes for my mind to come up with Between the lines I can tell you )

 

Anyway, another one to chew on;

 

In Roger Roger, John Sullivan's much underated series set in a Minicab office, Dexter Willis, played by Keith Allen, murders his wife's Insurance salesman lover, stashes the body in the boot of his Minicab and apparently jump off Blackfriars Bridge,

What type of car does Dexter use to conceal the body AND FOR A BONUS SHITEPOINT, which character drove a brown mk 5 Cortina, nicknamed the mobile turd?

Nissan Bluebird? Total guess though.

[lancashireclamper]

Fraid not

[Richard]

Avenger?

[warren t claim]

Mercedes?

[Father Ted]

Vauxhall Cresta

[lancashireclamper]

No, more a home grown vehicle, 1993 vintage 4 door saloon with leather upholstery

[warren t claim]

Rover 800?

[Richard]

Montego VDP?

[lancashireclamper]

No, not quite that home grown (sorry, not putting this very well am I (vehicle is not a Rover or B.L product)

[warren t claim]

Sierra 2000E?

[lancashireclamper]

Very very close!

[warren t claim]

Mondeo Ghia?

[lancashireclamper]

Bit bigger

[Father Ted]

Keeping in the Vauxhall theme, and given it was 98 - I vote for a Vectra

[warren t claim]

Scorpio?

[lancashireclamper]

Afraid not FT, think more luxury barges

 

Edit, yep Warren spot on a 2.0 in silver.

 

The Cortina was driven by Basil, the unfortunate Postman/Minicab driver played by David Ross who went on to play Elgin Sparrowhawk, Farm manager in 'The Green Green Grass'
