Did i hear right that Starmer offered two aircraft carriers to help police the Straight of Hormuz? I thought that one was broken down and months away from readiness.

Ace fun, yes. Agree with you there Lizzie. But when you see your beloved  Victor 101 being demolished… ?

There was always a Rover 90 or 110 that smashed everything else to bits.

Still fun though!!!
The last picture a saw of my Mk3 Grannie was upside down on the infield of Foxhall stadium.

Cleaned the Sahara off it at last. Ended up quite damp myself due to a howling gale here.  :D

It's emerging that one of the reasons that HMS Dragon's departure to Cyprus is delayed is because the Govt reduced the dockworkers hours to save money.

They've gone from 24/7 operations to 9 to 5/Mon to Friday.   ::)  So that's possibly one of the reasons why the rest of the fleet is tied up alongside as well....  :-\

You'd think that in this day and age they could work from home.  :)
If you were a drone operator you probably could. ;)
Very good, Ron  :)
I do sometimes manage periods of lucidity Steve.  :D

Best thing you can do is choose a car you like, and buy the nicest one you can find.
What if you'd overdosed on Dorset Turnips and liked a Morris Marina, like Sir Tig.....

;D

 ::)

I was 19 and it cost me fifty quid with 6 months MOT & tax.  :y

It was a great car though and I used do a lovely drift in it around a hairpin bend deep in the lanes near here!  ;D

....and don't forget it was the desirable 1.8TC coupe version....so the ladies went weak at the knees. Wet with anticipation. :)

 ;)

It had a black 'go faster' stripe down the bonnet as well!  >:D

Used Marina seem to be up for sale within the £3000-£9000 range. :o :o :o

Why would anyone be tempted to pay this for a seventies car, with fifties engineering tech, that corners like a a dog on polished lino. >:D 8)

One of the reasons I won't buy another Marina Coupe 1800TC is that I'd be very tempted to drift it round the afore mentioned hairpin bend in the lanes in the dead of night.    ::)

I'm probably not as talented as I was when I was 19 and it would go horribly wrong!  :-X     ;D
If you drift a bit too enthusiastically, you might find that the body shell will part company with the wheels.  :D

A friend of my youngest has a coupe in the fetching diarrhoea colour in his garage, he just uses it a summer car. Wonder if he knows how much it may be worth?
