Just up the road from me! It ceased being a PO in the last round of cuts (three years ago?) and today you'd have a deathwish to stand roadside on the A264 in daylight hours.

Am I right in thinking that those are the IROC cars somewhere in the US ?

15 cars only, now ridiculously expensive.

I think they may be the original '73 Porsche 911 Carrera RS. If you look carefully the rear spoilers are the "Ducktail", whereas the IROC cars have the "whaletails".

...It might sound strange having bomb sites a quarter of a century after the end of the war, but many parts of London were still like this at the time.

I know, I grew up there in the '60s, we used to play in bomb sites.

Never mind the 1960s, in Glasgow at least there were still bombsite carparks in use in the 1980s.

I agree, I've been watching these orrible puns like a Hawk and I don't want to Snipe at anyone, but it really is not in Vogue any more.

Looks a bit like Willi Brandt, former Chancellor of former West Germany.

It's Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.

These puns are certainly hard to Swallow. From Westminster to Cambridge there is fear and panic. I Dino what you think, but we should probably Equipe the police with pun guns, and roll out down the A30 from Hampshire, to head this outbreak of silliness off before it reaches the Atlantic. This could get serious. A Majestic Major has been appointed as Commander, and the Sovereign is being kept informed at every stage. There are plans to evacuate the Princess to Deauville as it is. She's waiting in east Anglia for an Escort from the Consul-ate as I type! The Invaders are on their way, and Frazer-Nash is waiting in Boulogne to receive the Super Minx. Travelling by Pullman, probably, and taking the Imperial Sceptre with her. She's Innocent, but those punsters will want to Interceptor, and possibly Drophead - they're preparing the guillotine already. So load those Lanchesters, and pick up your Javelins. I've Countach-ted the Marina, and the Midget says he can get us on a Clipper to Europa in Rekord time. We're not worried by their Scimitars and Sabres - we'll cross the channel on a Flying Cloud like a Phantom in the night. So, Wayfarer, draw your Rapier and join the Vanguard, with Ensign Flying! Be Swift, Cadet! Join with your Countryman! We shall surely be Victor-ious, with the roar of the Spitfire overhead we shall attack like Hornets - Viva the Regency, Viva the President. Down with the Rebel Dictator! Like a New Gazelle we shall Pilot this thread to it's inevitable Climax!

Hmmm? I think I've overdone it. I'm such a Bora that I sometimes Revolta myself. Please don't Snipe. It's just that I've got all the Ghia, and no idea...
