Oh, 'cuda...you yanks crack me up. I'm laughing so hard I bet you can hear it in America!!! (BTW that's IRONY - you might wanna look it up in a dictionary) Neil, thanks for the thought. I'll let you know how I get on. BlackICE: I've already got one, just fancy a newer one of the same model...

It was/is a difficult decision, the Gt is unquestionably a wonderful car, but I feel that I've 'done it' now. If I replace it, it will be with a convertible so I can enjoy it in the sunny weather more. More likely, I will import a new helicopter from the USA! The impracticality of the GT has...

Including mine:frown

C'mon Neil,get with it! Luvly day for the GT on UK roads today - dry, crisp and clear. Mine is in the office car park as we speak. I've just got to kill that hamster that's in the dash...........

.....by crashing into an Astravan (a 'subcompact' car turned into a van). Still to my untrained eye, looks like it was doing a bit more than the 40mph speed limit! Probably driven by one of our overpaid, undereducated soccer players. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/surrey/6422215.stm

I reckon that might be England: the bollard behind, the cladding on the warehouse, the block paving and the sign on the door (we're health and safety mad over here) would make me think it might be old Blighty. Not 100% sure, but it could be. Probably some sucker bought a 'lightly damaged...

Who said you yanks aren't funny?? Watch this video first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAhfZUZiwSE then THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aesmHlVOOE :biggrin

I thought Jonny was after a '28' car? The last thing I want to do is re-open the deabte about 'which is better' (as I guess everyone will have their own thoughts!), but just curious to know who's selling up their cars.

As a matter of interest, which of the '28' is up for sale? Last one sold I was aware of was Eddie Jordan's Black with stripes. Just curious, like.

Neil, I didn't realise you were a football player...sorry, soccer on this forum. I thought they were the only ones who bought Bentley these days. Do you get the new hideous Breitling Breitling watch? When i saw it I nearly took mine off nad hid it in shame. Seriously, nice car. I'm just...

You're pretty close: maybe right. The first manouvre (of the original 'german' video) was what we call over here a torque turn: you climb nose up until you feel the airspeed washing away, then kick pedal in to turn the aircraft. The key thing is to make sure you don't overtorque the engine, so...

My other 'toy' is a Bell 206: same model as this german clown was flying. I sure wouldn't want to fly this one after his escapade! I'd be willing to bet that there was a big crease in the skin where the tailboom joins the airframe, which had the engineers sucking air through their teeth when...

For every nice Ford we have in Europe, we also have a Lemon. Try the Fusion - originally marketed as being for the "Urban Cool" generation. Now generally accepted as a Grandad-mobile.

How does two reflected in the clearest of paint and a pair of full-on English breasts compare? In that case, Black with stripes is the quickest (as in 1966).

Hey does that go for anybody? $1,000 would come in right handy at the moment - I need to buy a bolt for my helicopter. Can I send you my IBAN numbers? Cheers! You're a true gent. Look me up if ever you come over to England. I live in the little bit that isn't London :wink

I lend mine to Ford over here in the UK quite often, but only for events that my company is running (so I can get my team to look after it!). It's going up next month to Bedford Autodrome for static display at the Focus Coupe Cabriolet launch. (Who'd launch a cabriolet in the UK in...

If your info is right, my guess is that they were recording it for their next series of Top Gear, which was due to start showing a couple weeks ago. But then their co-presenter (Richard Hammond) crashed and burned in a Jet-powered car. Fortunaely it looks like he'll be OK (thanks to the local...

Dealmaker, Daily driver? Just ask Clarkson. Although mechanically it is strong enough (the P1 car has done 36,000 miles with nothing but routine servicing), it's very wide for UK roads, the rear visibility is not great, you have to 'pick' your parking space and the LHD is less than ideal here...

Err, they didn't do so well with Rover over here in the UK. In the end they "sold" MG and Rover to a bunch of crooks (who spent the moeny and went bust, as the whole industry said they would), Land Rover to Ford and kept Mini for themselves. As many have said, AM is profitable already - hence...

No, the current DB9 engines are built in Cologne: early cars had Cosworth engines. Cosworth is now NOT part of Ford. The engine source will be and 'overcomeable' part of the deal. The Range Rover 4.4 engine is still (IIUC) a BMW unit! A friend of mine is an engineer at Aston, having been a...
