I have one of these, albeit it dark green. It is hilarious, a stately home that thinks it is a racehorse. I have it serviced once a year at a fixed cost of £ 480. For the naysayers, try before you buy, yes it is a stupid indulgence the tyres are silly ‘spensive and it makes sense for stupid reasons. The service…

In former times, ‘mid war an’ strife,
When French invashin threaten’d life,
An’ all was arm’d to the knife,
The Fishermen hung the Monkey, O!
The Fishermen wi’ courage high,
Seized Monkey for a spy,
Hang him says yen, says another he’ll die;
They did, an’ they hung the Monkey, O!
They tried ivery means to myek him…

Bother. sorry,

In a recent edition of Hornby Magazine there are is a detailed description of how to re-create this in 00 scale (4mm/ft),

These things are seriously unhinged, they are classified as kit cars here, I have competed in class C endurance races, a well sorted Ultima is quicker from every feel, driving one on English roads is frankly terrifying , think about overtaking that 60mph lorry? change down a gear and press go. Things get very serious…

The French really really like a fart joke, abridged from wikipedia;

I have always liked the Gordon Keeble badge:

A lot of these are finding a whole new life today. I spend a lot of time playing with toy trains, or creating fine scale model railways depending on who you ask. Many of my locomotives are fitted with tiny speakers and even teenier digital sound systems, there are clever people who digitize these old recordings, clean…

I really hope that the owner is an architect.

This fascinates me, there must be some sort of decision making process.

I like this, for a very specific reason. I have two of these, both are shot to bits rally cars, one is ex works and the other was built by prodrive. I have never seen or driven a stock one. I would happily pay $ 2000 for it. Also my ones are for sale.

Sleeping babies are usually pretty quiet, awake babies can be outrageously noisy.

“Are you seriously so retarded that you think I donated a Cybertruck to a Russian general?”

I have a lake, occasionally Canada geese find it, on one memorable occasion a delighted grandson decided to feed said geese, they followed him home. Ten years and more later I still bear the scars, both physical and emotional. Yes, they came indoors, to the delight of a giggling idiot gnome. Who is now a brain surgeon!…

When you get stuck in your Pinzgauer and the Uminog that comes to your rescue also gets stuck, it is time to ring up the guy with the Tatra:

I was going to say Unimog but someone beat me to it so, Pinzgauer it is:

The market for large caliber coastal defense weapons is about to explode.

I have long thought that those US spec bumpers should be chrome, it would add a whole new layer of overdone, 1990's excess combined with 1950's excess. Lamborghini meets Cadillac!

I do not, but I know people that do. I like this, but it needs investigation. I fancy running it at Goodwood. The three full binders are not enough, the thing will need a full rebuild, as far as can tell it has been driven in anger for at least twenty years. My best offer? around the £20,ooo mark at tops. If I can buy…
