I think this is great news and hopefully a small positive in the increasingly anti-car EU?



Wonder if the new EU GPS speed limiter applies to a DB4/2 on the Hangar Straight? biggrin

He's quite a serious petrolhead. I've raced against him (he was driving a Porsche then).

He's also had a couple of spectacular crashes on public roads.

He was one of Belgium's better Prime Ministers in recent times, seems to have gone a bit loopy since he moved over to the EU. frown

Hilarious, Rich. wink

Do you remember the EU quotation?

"You have the charisma of a damp rag, and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk. And the question that I want to ask, […] that we're all going to ask, is "Who are you?" I'd never heard of you. Nobody in Europe had ever heard of you."

That was Farage to Herman van Rompuy.

We have many famous Belgians... smile

Except that was to Herman Van Rompuy.

Sorry Jon, I'd like to claim it as scorching satire but I genuinely had no idea. I'm more interested in my Astons than wannabe politicians in Maastricht. wink

Yes I know, V8LM.

That aspect does slightly spoil the humour, and I did think of including an apology for the switch of individuals, but thought most would know the close connection.

Beautiful weather. Are you choosing which Aston to drive today?

What a stupid comment.
I don't think politics should pollute a car forum.
