Sorry Jeff (spelt the same way as my No 1 son - how could I forget?).

Forgot the name of the Nudgers, thanks for the reminder.
My particular 'dodgem' was a Mk II Consul with a dodgy gearbox and three holes in the floor - my kids soon became used to the pre-start check: "Feet off the floor". Gearbox was fixed at 48 Sqdn, using a couple of Herc chocks as axle stands - tool store was a handy and well used facility.

My 'best' nudge was actually unintentional (Mrs Null & kids as pax) on the Bukit Timah Road when my bald front tyres contributed to my failing to negotiate a slight curve on the damp (!) road surface and ended with my car striking a glancing blow against the front wing of an oncoming Kiwi's Vauxhall Velox. As he was almost tourex, and his car was also junk, with no injuries in either vehicle we parted amicably, with him suggesting that, as the chrome strip on his bonnet was actually mine, would I like to take it with me?
