I remember Brian Keys? Reliant Repairs Garage at hillsborough, at the side of Simpkins Sweet Factory.

 

I remember my father taking me many a times for him to get advice for mending his own Reliant Car in the guise of buying a part off him.

 

My father would pick Brian's brains on the lastest problem with his car then ask how much the part was, then go away and mend it himself. But what really amazed me was that my father would also nick stuff off him that was lying around whilst getting Brian's free advice. I always felt sorry as Brian was a nice man, who would help anyone.

 

I still remember all the Reliant's waiting for repair.

 

Before anyone asks, no I didn't pick up my father's habits.
