So I suppose Brodie is in the van in his crusade against the TAB and Rangatira is in the van in his crusade against Brodie. I just wonder how much petrol is left in the tank before the 'vans' run out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in vanguard. nice one happy, one cryptic clue sorted....I'm sure half the comentators don't know the real meaning either, these terms are just passed down.
