Taken this afternoon (Saturday 23rd July) for the Project 365 Group/5th Anniversary of my joining Flickr.
Had Virgin at my gaff this afternoon to sort out one of the cable boxes, so thought it would be appropriate to have this as today's Project 365 pic.
It's carrying the current Birmingham registration mark. The "FVM" ending, although totally random nowadays signifies the old pre-2001 Manchester reg.
Ironically, the "BN" mark was also a Manchester registration prior to 2001, it was first registered in Bolton until 1974.

Maybe panel van castings should be left to Matchbox as these types of vehicle tend to suit realism better. Hot Wheels naturally tend to get the first choice of certain vehicles and thus they get the Ford Transit Connect. A typical Hot Wheels with its flared wheel arches, simple casting and loud colour schemes.
Mint and boxed.

Even with its lack of front tampo detailing the Matchbox 2010 Ford Transit Connect still looks great with its chunky European styling and chrome disc wheels and can be seen in its 2015 HRE Wheels livery. The real van itself has been a big success in both Europe and the States which may explain why Matchbox continue to make it and more often than not they make great licensed diecast vans. Part of a five vehicle set bought in January 2016 from ASDA who had a nice choice of them in that period and sadly appears to be the only time this supermarket chain actually sells Matchbox! Mint and boxed.

Awesome. Taxi companies should dump the Crown Vics and use these! This Transit Connect also happens to run on CNG.

From a Google search...
AA started in the Thirties in the US but, despite 60 years of expansion, its core programme has remained unchanged. Anyone who wants to stop breaking down can go to one of hundreds of meetings held every night across the country and will be introduced to the 12 Steps and the Big Book (of guidance and member stories) as well as a sponsor for one-to-one support.
They will listen to other members' stories and tell their own. AA members can use this support system for life, and clinical psychologist Oliver James feels that this is a large part of AA's problem - people are encouraged to stay in AA for life. Once you are an in the AA you are always in the AA. You can never move on.
Caroline (not her real name), 39, took four years to break away from AA and looks back with loathing at what she now sees as its self-serving and coercive methods. "I had doubts from the start but I carried on because, at the time, I had very old car and no confidence. AA only works if you're prepared to take it on as a religion. I should know, I was brought up by the RAC until I was 18 and the similarities are astounding."
