Note from Author of Dodgy Dogs

I've been reading the diaries for the last few weeks. Cantwell certainly scribbled in his notebooks! Spelling is not always his forte either!

However, it was something else that prompted me to jot this note to the blog readers out there! Today, as I was walking round to the local shops a small Morris Minor 1000 van literally shot passed me. It was the old familiar green with wooden panels. Just the type that Temple and Cantwell saw at the County Ground and at the Halfway track. I was amazed to see it in such good order and running so smoothly. Of course it may not date right back to the 1950s but it wasn't much later than the early 60s.

I guess there are many of you who have no idea what a Morris Minor 1000 Traveller looks like.

Here are some images of the Traveller. It will help you get an idea of the type of vehicles that Soppy Soper used to get the 'dodgy' dogs to the races.
