That looks absolutely stunning. Superb.

I think that's why dad got one. He raced Surtees at Brands but always said he was just on track at same time... He didn't claim to have actually raced against him... If you see what he meant. Still have his pudding basin helmet and goggles on display in house..

I was being contentious with comments about bikes. To be fair the KTM is a lovely Ebike. Last year wife and I hired 2 of them at Lake Garda and with a guide went up part of Monte Baldo (???the mountain overlooking lake there) The bike was certainly slightly more powerful than my Haibike but I...

My dad had one of these It's a Grey Flash but he brought it up to Black Flash spec engine wise. (It's the single 500cc,half a Vincent 1000) Wish it was still in family. The noise that bike made was unbelievable. He, d start it in back yard and ride through passageway, a sort of tunnel between...

Didn't know that... Wonder why ? There were links between Kia and Ford via Mazda .. Partnerships between big companies seem the norm. Many cars we see as different share engines, platforms, etc. I believe Hyundai bought Ford's interest in Kia ?

The Morgan with the Matchless V twin was a fast car, and crazily torquey.Never driven anything like it for opposite locking oversteer. It was wonderful .. I, m going back to mid 80's, I, d guess it would be worth a fortune now. I,d always thought there was a market for a modern copy... A couple...

I thought it was less. Wrong again.. Getting it down to 7cwt would be a problem.. 8cwt...they obviously could.

I, ve been out playing on Jetski all afternoon. You need to get out biking more KTM, I recommend a Haibike. They are great. I thought we, d moved on anyway. Ahwell, it's all good natured. Most of it anyway.

Apologies. Like I said no expert.. I, ve driven JAP engined (and a Matchless V twin engined one around Donington) Think current 3 wheeler is Morgan's best car. (but too expensive) . Not keen on plus 4, uses technology that was old when introduced but they still sell well. I, d always thought...

OG is referring to 3 wheeler, if Ford pop engine ever went in that I, d be surprised. Was a heavy old lump for a 3 wheeler. Know a bit about Morgan but no expert.

That could be problematic. Morgan buy major parts from USA.. Don't think they build any in house running gear. The back axles for plus 4 are from American horseless carriages.. Still use live axles and cart springs... The three wheeler joins up American V twins (derived from Harley but actually...

Nice post, we, ve already moved on.

Parked at Lady Bower lay by yesterday. Down to Pack Horse Bridge, to visitors centre, upto Lockerbrook Farm, down to Snake Pass, over it and around lake to Bamford then back to car. Absolutely stunning. 28 miles, all in high and 1 mile left on display at end. I try and hover at 15.5 to 16 mph on...

I see that now. My apologies too. Perhaps so. The St George Cross is misused sometimes. Completely OT, but in his interview yesterday the friend of the couple poisoned said they had been buying red, white and blue paint to make a flag to support England?

I do agree with your premise but shouldnt we be looking at this rather differently. At the moment we pick a period in history and say folk arriving after that date are migrants but before are not. In reality everyone of us is a migrant. Human life did not burst on the scene spread around as we...

The Reggie Yates programme last night was actually quite frightening. (If you missed it he was visiting nationalist groups in Russia) The fact that even with (or perhaps because of) the Internet many people are so lacking in basic knowledge of human history. The problem we have is the...

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/07/03/uk/salisbury-uk-major-incident-intl/index.html ???? Here we all go again.

How many of our MPs knew about all this. Gove?Farage? Johnson ? Should all be charged.

It would need a special kind of cynicism to think our government would poison a couple of folk to divert attention from a fairly pointless meeting... but more unbelievable things have happened. We won on penalties last night... So anything is possible..

Thanks for apology, its not required really. Think I started the jumbled up names anyhow. Personally think the levels of corruption at every level and all places has reached highest levels they have ever been, but I, m very cynical, especially about human nature. The bigger the organisation the...
