I think that most of us guessed that your name wasn't really Arthur Maunsell but in the absense of any other names what are we supposed to call you?:)

Trust me not to go for the obvious:o
I twigged the "Half a Maunsell" bit as soon as you mentioned your half share in the carriage but I couldn't for the life of me work out what corKtina had to do with Maunsell or carriages:) Was "cor" short for corridor? Was "K" the code for composite? Surely "tina" wouldn't feature in anything to do with railway carriages.
After a sleep and a quick look through the Irish car forums I now assume that it's yet another play on words but this time featuring Cork and that good old "horseless carriage" the Dagenham Dustbin.
I should have realised.....you've mentioned your car collection often enough:D
