OK, nearly done, but seem to have worked my way into a corner.
67D Nabs a luxury car and sets off - a??e?t? (absents or arrests?)
75A Hyenas initiated slow, horrible cries of pain - ??e?s (keens?)
81A The bus ran over a guy trying to get a tan ??n???d?r (I'm thinking this may be bystander and I have gone wrong somewhere)
70A That ones ordered to sit - i?? (its?)
Thanks to all in advance.
@mumtime,
My suggestions are
67d ABSENTS (anagram of NAB & SETS)
75a HOWLS (anagram initial of hyena+slow)
81a SUNBATHER (anagram of the bus ran)
70a ITS (sit rearranged)
Good Luck
@PaddyH,
Thanks Paddy
Had one wrong going down. That now leaves me with 3.
71D Caught her in spa with moutaineer - sh???a (sheila?)
74a German removed gem and fled - s?n (sin?)
78A Wet through most of Saturday on disastrous date - n?t???t?d
@mumtime,
What happens when you throw a
sherpa down 71?
@Francis,
Thanks Francis
I can see that now.
That leaves me with 78A Wet through most of Saturday on disastrous date -
n?t?r?t?d
@mumtime,
Francis is spot on with SHERPA and SATURATED.
74a RAN (letters remaining after GEM removed from GERMAN)
Thanks so much. This is the first time I have ever completed a cryptic - with a little help.
@mumtime,
I have ARRESTS for 67d. nabs = synonym of arrests
@mumtime,
yippee i love it when ditchy is write
the straight clue is nabs ie. arrests
the cryptic is " a rr" for a rollsroyce luxury car with "sets" off as in an anagram
