Yeah but not with Brens or Stens... well, not yet anyway.

Correct. This is just military re-enactors anyway, they aren’t violent types and in any case those are de-activated guns.

Yup. My MK2 was indeed a cockroach, damn well built cars.

Now I feel old. Doesn’t everybody know that GT stands for Grand Tour/er?

In the top photo there’s a Spanish registration on the Mini cabrio in front of the Lamborghini.

Hmm. Not sure about everything there, OKish but not outstanding. Moral of the tale is learn with a professional instructor.

The most charitable way to view this is a combination of Chinese communist party’s insecurity, appalling manners and just plain clumsiness.

It was pushed not dragged - obviously.

I remember those sorts of Hoovers! My Mum had one when I was little, in a greenish colour as opposed to that pinkish model, scared the crap out of me and the dog both. Mind you she did tell me it would eat my legs if I didn’t move them.

Imagine how good rented Corollas would be off road.

I live in the British countryside so: F*ck off BT, bunch of crooks who’ve been taking all the money for providing a proper internet service and giving us 10% of that at best. There’s a word for that.

Ladies! Do you like the smell of pissy concrete and hanging around sleazy places populated by sociopathic morons in the small hours of the morning? Do you like being repeatedly called by a guy who doesn’t apparently understand the concept of traffic asking “Is it there yet? Well why the f*ck not?!”

Yup. Unvalued job with shitloads of stress and responsibility coupled with antisocial hours designed to make you fatigued.

You feel our pain, you are one of us now.

Oh hell yes, very much that too.

Amen to that, nor do I have a fix apart electing politicians who had the guts to plan for the long term and the balls to face down hysterics in the media, who are naturally drawn to the shallow superficialities that can be explained in a soundbite, and those interests vested in such an approach. But the media would…

“I have lost confidence in the ability of the public to influence government.”

This is, of course, the situation in Britain and indeed the rest of the EU. IKt has shedloads of knock on effects that most people don’t realise even as they’re delayed in a huge long line of cars stuck at 55 as one truck crawls past another for the 10th time in an hour.
