I still want one, because V-12 luxury minivan...

Reminds me of the Italdesign Columbus...

I like these wheels, but I can see how they'd not last in city driving. Also, you can order a Prius in red.

PV544. Not the racing versions, which were actually pretty fast, but the street versions. Mine's a Sport model which means it gets about 100 horsepower out of the B18 with twin SU carbs. That makes it slow by modern standards, but the steering is wonderfully direct and it just goes where you point it. Oh, and it…

This has 150 horsepower. It's slow. Very, very slow.

The Hogarth Flyover, Chiswick, West London. This is a single-lane bridge, built as a temporary structure in 1968 (it shows!), which goes over the roundabout where the major roads into London from the South-West and West of England meet. It takes traffic from the A316 (the main road from the SW, which is the M3…

1986 means it's now road-legal (would you have to export and reimport it?). Therefore, NP!

D-plates are issued by the UK government- there are also X plates for non-diplomatic Embassy staff, which are the same except with an X not a D.

Well, that's why it has CD (diplomatic corps) license plates- though diplomats' cars in the UK actually have "D-plates" with the format 123 D 456.

I used to take a double-decker (not a Routemaster) to school every day, and always sat on the top deck for the 40 minute ride. I still do whenever I'm on a bus for more than 10 minutes- it's a lot quieter and less crowded up there as you're not allowed to stand on the top deck, so I can read my book in peace without…

Hmm- that's a different version of Pub Cricket from the one I play. We have one person looking at a time, "Arms" pubs score 2, and anything with no legs (spotted by anyone) gets you out.

The old British standby of Pub Cricket only works on back roads (or in cities) in Britain.

I've seen this in Wyoming...

Citroën Comotor.

Just be careful what your spoons are made out of or you may never be able to get them off it...

No, you can lose a right on conviction by a jury of your peers, otherwise life and liberty are also privileges...

I think HMS Invincible was somewhere off the map when they did that- and anyway it's a sea crash not a road crash...

Reminds me of a popular joke in Russia:

This, however, is definitely fun. Who needs 2k lakes?

The Crusader will take nine even if 8 of them are Termies (remember, the driver counts).
