OK, granted, singing "Byway to the Danger Zone" isn't quite so dramatic, but it's close enough :-D
Yes top quality work Bobins, you spotted the dilemma which will undoubtedly arise on the chain from time to time.

I had too and was about to put out this pictoral APB to elicit bringing the divergent chain links back together :-D

Redundant now but at least it brought back memories of one of Great Britain's greatest ping pong players.

Just to cement us in the Salisbury Area for a little nose around before we move on lets pop up to its greatest roadside monument, now unceremoniously demolished with not a trace remaining. We have to go back in time a little to really enjoy the view....from the AA Box Challenge Thread.

I came across our CitroJim's nice choice of words to describe the other roadside monument you can see in the pic....

I can't be a Druid; I hate Stonehenge so much I'll only be happy when it's used as hardcore for an A303 dual carriage way through where it currently stands...

This comes from 40 years of suffering traffic jams past the infernal and frankly useless structure...

It's only a pile of old stones. What's the interest in that I ask?

Popped up earlier as I was reading the thread. Had to duck out for a bit and many posts intervene now.

The group Berlin formed in Orange County. They achieved widespread fame with the theme song 'Take My Breath Away' from the film 'Top Gun'. :)

Looks like we need another dilemma linking link du to a bit of simultaneous-ish posting

So Mick has us in Haworth but previously Bobins leaves us with a Triumph Toledo!

So the dilemma unification link has to be between Haworth and a Triumph Toledo.

Hard work curating this thread!
