Getting rid of the regime is all well and good, but the problem is there doesnt seem to be anyone in Iran to take over governing the country when thats achieved.
So unless Trump thinks he can govern it remotely from Washington, its hard to see what the end game will be.

First off not everyone’s cuppa..

Now we have that out of the way, here is a suggestion for April. The two races in Middle East are cancelled. Too many problems arranging alternatives.

Have two events for the F1 drivers. Somewhere like Silverstone. Identical race prepared cars. Select keys from a hat. In fact three races each event. Three completely different vehicles. Bit like the supporting saloon car races back in the good old days!

What do you think

Something like this ?
If my memory serves the F1 drivers took part on a race in these cars during every race weekend.

Like the Idea of 2 UK races Why not add brands Hatch

I used to love going to Brands to watch F1. It not a fit track / locaton / facilty for modern F1 unfortunately.

When the Iranians start sinking U.S. warships, the shit will really hit the fan !
Cant see this ending well , as the septics dont seem to have any idea of a plan, apart from knocking out the mullahs and their armed forces.

That's all the need to do.

Really ? And then what ?
Understandably, there doesnt seem to be an opposition waiting to take over running the show, so unless someone puts boots on the ground and an interim administration in place you either get chaos, or the regime rebuilds itself quickly and carries on.
The latter seems to be what is currently happening.

The new leader could well be the most dangerous yet, as he has lost his family in the last week or so, so nothing to lose and a lot of scores to settle.

Bloody immigrant sand, coming over here from Africa, wrecking our cars.

Im staying in Walking on your knees this week and the house has a nice powerful hose out the front, so gave the Omega a wash which was very much needed.
It was the filthiest Ive ever seen it.
Theres a very nice Boxster 987.2 on the drive but he forgot to leave me the keys.

It will be replacing the C1.Believe it or not I will genuinely miss that little car.
I can drive it absolutely flat out like a complete hooligan and not get into too much trouble.

Ive got a Leaf, so I dont care.

Porsche Boxster to Nissan Leaf in such a short time. 

They say variety is the spice of life.

You did, but being sensible goes against the grain with me.
I feel much older and more boring now I own one.

And his throat cut.
 He must have lived in fear, terror and misery until he was put out of it.
Good job too.

Should have been installing a replacement steering column & PAS motor into the c1 but DHL seem to have lost the replacement somewhere in their network.
Not a great time to be using the Omega as a daily instead of the C1.

Decent looking 3.9 MV6 coming up for auction. Nice little project for someone.
Cambelt, suspension etc.
End up with a very nice car for £3 - 4000.
