Which animated pedal-car in the British children's TV show is called Vroom? Is it the one we know an love as Brum? (Short for "Brummagem", alternative name for Birmingham. The car is modelled on the old Austin 7, once made at Longbridge in Brum.) Saw him (her? it?) filming in Brum a couple of years ago. Very entertaining. My daughter has chosen to live in Brum, and calls herself a Brummie, despite being brought up in Staffordshire. Still, at 20 I suppose she's old enough to make up her own mind; and at least she's not living with/off me any more: something for you to look forward to, Liz!
