Postman Pats Van!

Just been watching a particularly thrilling episode with my daughter, in which our Pat is roaring round the b-roads of Greendale when I noticed something:

That little red Van corners like its on Rails! Hairpins at full chat and not a hint of bodyroll

Also, He's got a V8 under the Hood there - seriously! Listen to it, reckon its a Weslake 5 Litre Ford race engine.

No! The CTR is definitely NOT Postman Pat's van!

It was built waayyy before the CTR....

...and was the basis for the CTR

I've even got a black and white cat for mine

Ever since the post office fitted the coil-overs and dropped the ride height by 30mm, Pat has knocked 30 mins off his round!!!!!

Slightly spoilt by the new speed bumps down the high street though.

What about Noddy's car then? Thats looks fairly handy.

However I do want to know how he gets away with driving like a complete tw$t and running an unlicenced taxi with full backing of Mr Plod
