    As you can see, this Black Arrow truck has been registered as "04-D-51335". Clearly, the Dubs are up to no good.:D

    Definitely more than a coincidence IMO. If the reg had have been from a ford fiesta or something then yes coincidence, but an army vehicle? I think not!

    The image is from wiki, the artists must have wanted that truck and just used the image from wiki including the number plate.
