Ford have made some of coolest cars in history, GT40 amongst them.. RS 301 and 200 were pretty amazing. Wish I had one sat with my Mustang,which is a compliment for an XF.. Thanks.

I have driven a few Fords in the last 50 years, Ford lost the plot in the late 60's, early 70's. When I was growing up one of my playgrounds was a Model T cemetery. I'll give thumbs up to 3 Fords:
- the Deuce, even stock it looks cool and the flat head V8 is a great period modification
- the Cortina Lotus which was cool for any 12 year old, even ones who were in reality much older
- the 1967 Fastback Mustang
When you say GT40 that isn't a road car and as a Ferrari P3-P4 fan I never got over that first 1966 victory which was even tougher to swallow because Chris and Bruce drove the damned thing.
Another OK race car was the Mk II Escort RS, I saw Hannu Mikkola drive that. Only very briefly, he was very fast... Was he driving or was he flying it?
I have driven a Mk II Jag but my mother got into Jags so I immediately lost interest in them...
Edited: got my Finns mixed up...

Well at least your mum has some taste.
I had an RS2000 years ago, was OK. At same time step father had an Alfa 2000 GTV Veloce, which was probably my most favourite care ever, but it sort of dissolved.. What an engine tho.. Sanlme bloke designed fiat twin cam... Both engines were sublime... The fiat went into Lancia Integrale.. to make a stunning car.. I, ve had a few Lancias, Montreal, Beta and Beta Coupe... But cant fault the Jag.
Another diversionary tactic to announce this at this time

British nuclear waste facility could be located near Newry
Newry is being considered as a possible location to store the UK’s nuclear refuse
The question is which faction is behind this announcement and what do they hope to gain from it?
It sounds as phony as they come.

Cox is trying a new angle on the Brexit negotiations
https://www.buzzfeed.com/albertonardelli/here-are-the-two-new-ideas-geoffrey-cox-has-presented-to?origin=shp
Here Are The Two New Ideas Geoffrey Cox Presented To The EU
The UK is trying to find a “legal solution to a political problem,” according to an EU27 diplomatic note seen by BuzzFeed News.
Tuesday’s meeting is described in the note as “negative.”
It states that Cox, who is leading the talks for the UK side, presented the idea of an “arbitration panel” that would determine if the two sides were acting in good faith and were being reasonable in their efforts to identify alternative arrangements to the backstop — the insurance policy that guarantees that there can be no hard border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in all circumstances.
Cox also proposed the concept of a new “mini backstop” that would limit the mechanism to only cover elements that relate to border infrastructure.
Both ideas were rejected by Barnier. “[Barnier] requested fresh drafting,” the note read.
The diplomats were told that the arbitration panel as suggested by Cox was an attempt to lower the bar for exiting the backstop by introducing notions such as “reasonableness.”
The note states that the UK is in essence “questioning the legal stability of the backstop” and is trying to find a “legal solution to a political problem.”
The withdrawal agreement already includes clauses to deal with disputes. An initial political consultation would take place in a joint committee, and either party can refer the dispute to an arbitration panel. The agreement sets out how the arbitration panel is to be established, how the arbitrators will be selected, and the rules which govern its operation. However, if there is a question of interpreting EU law, the panel is obliged to refer the case to the European Court of Justice.
Truly this is Pathetic, what part of "No" doesn't Cox understand?

Maybe because he doesn't understand three syllable words, "no" being one of the most common three syllable words in use it is a bit of a surprise though!
Lets get this straight, burrowing into a massive volcano ,and sticking nuclear waste into it is a good plan?. This is the only area in ireland which has had seismic activity in the last 40 years.
I think they are trying to send a subliminal message to the ROI Dan...
How unfriendly is this? It's just landed in my Inbox.
Dear 50 Hertz,
we are writing to inform you that if you are a UK resident or entity without permanent EU residence and you have registered a .eu domain, you may lose your domain name.
With the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union, subject to any transitional arrangements, existing .eu domain names will no longer comply with the eligibility criteria.
A statement by the European Commission has outlined that following Brexit on 29 March, 2019 the EU regulatory framework regarding .EU domain names will no longer apply to the UK, which will have the following consequences:
•You will no longer be able to register .EU domains, nor will you be able to renew any existing .EU domain names, irrespective of whether they were registered before the withdrawal date.
•The Registry (EURid) will be entitled to revoke .EU domain names on its own initiative.
Details of EURid's action plan following Brexit on 29 March, 2019, and an action plan in the event of a transitional deal can be found in EURid's Brexit notice.
Although there is no certainty that all .EU domains registered by UK residents and entities will be revoked when Brexit takes place, there are some steps you can take to avoid any negative impacts the revocation may have:
Your Options
•You will have a grace period of 2 months where you can use your .EU domain with no changes, but our recommendation is to change your domain registrant contact data to a valid address in the European Union.
•If you do not have an EU subsidiary, you may want to consider setting up a new domain as soon as possible, and start redirecting traffic from your .EU domain to your new domain, for example a .COM domain.
We are currently working on finding other possible solutions to maintain your .EU registration, and we will contact you as soon as new information becomes available.
Best regards,
The STRATO Team

What's unfriendly about it? surely it is obvious?
Why did you ignore the caveat at the end?

Well Tommie would have even more cause to be concerned. The entire Ring of Gullion as it is called is a giant caldera,and Newry is in the collapsed centre. It is spectacular scenery. There is another volcano off the coast and there has been a relatively small earth quake off the Isle of Man,which displaced a little plaster in my house some thirty years ago.
So 16 working days to crashout, and the much vaunted reworking of guarantees regarding the UK/EU border in NI is no further along. I would see it as a mistake to have the UK AG present at talks. That compromises his ability to make a dispassionate judgement. .. Every body knows you can be a referee or a player but not both.
No, Strato the German hosting company are fine and doing their best to help and find a solution. It’s the peevish EU that I find quite unpleasant.
The key question is why would a uk company be seeking to trade under false pretences. Using .eu rather than .co.uk, for a website operating from the soon to be non EU UK is fraudulent.
that's the law I am afraid.
When I registered wooshbikes.fr, I have to use my address and telephone number in France.
UK authorities are more lenient or lax - depending on your point of view.
