How do you know it was doing more than 130mph, sometimes speed is deceiving.

It wasn't hard to guess the speed 'flow' even with my years experience in racing and marshalling, but well......well in excess of double the speed limit, I was so jealous :shock:

Not today but yesterday I bought a 300SL Gullwing which has been stored for years in a dusty old building near Warwickshire. I even paid for it myself, for a change!
Will post more pictures when I get it organised

375 mile drive, plenty of salt so the colour is Siberian rather than Tansanite, still a beautiful day for a quick trip to the shops

I know you would have done all the appropriate checks before you parted with any money, but I remember John Jordan, who has since passed away, and was the owner of Jordans Cereals, had his stolen must be 50 years ago now and it was never recovered. Hate to think there was a co-incidence there.

Just removed first of the season seagull ballistics from the Bimmer....early this year!
Now, just finishing off the attachment of the Kalashnikov to the drone, won’t be a minute

If you watched last Fridays showing of Grand Tour on Amazon they had pictures of an electric car that is reported to being made by Kalashnikov FFS

I did Andy, I think that subliminally influenced my choice of words...
That was one horrid car though !
What’s with May becoming a bit like a hooligan petrolhead? He bought a car

Just finished installing 2019 map up-dates to my sat-nav. Excellent service from Comand Online as I ordered it at 14:25 on Friday and it arrived at 10:30 Saturday :) I Don't know what version of map my car was running with, but a 2013 registered car that's sat-nav doesn't recognise the Hindhead Tunnel on the A3 (opened in 2011) seemed a little rum to say the least!
