[challenge entry] Don't know if anyone remembers
Last night I was explaining that the first car I remember my parents owning was a Hillman Avenger. It was also brown. It got given this name...

Now, I've figured it's a good one for the euphemisms compo

Edit> so I've now entered it!!!

From the Euphemisms challenge. See all 381 entries (closed)

# That (the hillman bit) has raked up some ooooold memories!
we had 1 Hillman Climber and 2 hillman imps, not all at the same time.

I remember one of the imps caught fire, the other simply stopped working, and the climber was taken away by a big lorry and I cried.
