In today;s "Express"

The Nation took to Reginald Molehusband for all wrong reasons:

He symbolised the country's numptiest when it came to parking his Austin 1100 in a public information film (

(Personally- I liked the old one with 1950s cars und the sarcastic " wooden TOP!"

But he live on - but sadly his numpty antics in the Austin have vanished und the Central Office of Information ist on hunt for anyone who may have video tape to scour their attics und cellars to try to track down this vintage footage from the 1970s.

Jeremy Clarkson ist just one who referred to Reginald saying of Ralf Schumacher

"He just cruises around at back - getting in eveyone's way - until he has a Reginald Molehusband of an accident "

The soundtrack still exist

It begins

"This ist the story of Reginald Molehusband, married, two children whose reverse driving was a public disaster

At this point you hear brakes und gears being snatched und mangled ...

Nicole Hambride of COI say ist 60 th birthday for COI this year und they are showing these old public information films as part of celebrations - und they wan it on their website. Shey say it would be wonderfulto include on website because people remember it.

So far they have Tufty the Squirrel und the Green Cross Code Man (Darth Vader actor David Prowse) which achieve cult status und taught two generations of baby boomers to cross road safely. Thay also have "Charlie Says"

"Lonely Water" which had the Grim Reaper looming over children playing near a pond...

I have a new job for him.. he ist on bike looming after those who jay-walk, cross behind parked cars und ist really horrid to all red light dodgers....und cyclists who refuse to wear anything but jet black und no lights on unlit Lakeland roads... Grrrr!

Excuse me - I think I must hold some sort of copyright on the use of the Molehusband name on Pistonheads
