So when the Drug Squad can’t convict a particularly unpleasant pusher, Stoner is tasked with permanently solving the problem. Now, discreetly and deniably, he resolves sticky situations for the British authorities. In a former life, JJ Stoner was a hard-faced military man. You can visit the Transportation Station in Six Strings, a JJ Stoner quick thriller, which is published on 22 February 2018.
Which makes me wonder exactly how many of the very many Transporters on the roads are being driven by guys on clandestine missions. Anyone looking for a man on a motorcycle will never spot a dull guy trolling along in a nondescript VW Transporter. Drive Transporter, park it up, extract the Harley-Davidson (not the great big one the little MT350 – look it up), go do the dirty, return, park motorcycle inside van, leave quietly and invisibly. Motorcycles can reach parts other vehicles cannot, of course. Stoner often uses his for carting a smaller motorcycle around with him. Invisible among the streetlife … they can be.Īnd they’re great for carrying things. Visit Cornwall in the summertime and you’ll see lots of these. Take a seriously horny motor from another VW and slot it in. You try that in your Aston, Mr Bond.Ī great thing about the Transporter, and one of the reasons Stoner runs a small fleet of them – he also operates a mostly bogus business, the Transportation Station, offering a delivery service – is that it’s decently easy to up-engine them.
Furthermore, you can brew up, crash out, or do Bad Things in the back of a VW while keeping an eye on the opposition. Less easy using an Aston Martin, however. This is a common way of running surveillance. Yesterday’s van is unlikely to be there … unless the sign has changed of course. Go grab another coffee the next day and observe all the other VW vans parked nearby. Check out its identifying features – it will have some, most likely a panel on the side advertising the business of its owner.
Spot a Transporter next time you’re having a coffee in your favourite shop.
