Now that I know that an 'old granny' is a Ford Granada and not someones elderly relative can you tell me what a 'westy on a stick' is? Sounds like an ice cream to me.

This is nearly as difficult as learning French!

Hi Kamikaze, Always promised myself a 4ltre 'R' before I die. Was taken for a run in a Westminster touching the 'ton' on the back roads of Moray when I was a lad. Never had a motoring experience to touch it since.
