As you say a fabulous car ……………...but the rust :( I only bought and sold one and it fell apart after only about 18 months.

In the Guardian today, some location shots of Richard Burton and Liz Taylor in the 1971 film Villain.
Interesting to find one of the spots on Google Earth today...

This looks like a testing station being set up at Reading Boys School. As it is next to the Royal Berkshire Hospital (and is used by the emergency helicopters) it makes a lot of sense to have it here. I hope that they can get it up and running ASAP so the local NHS staff can get themselves tested (either for peace of mind, or so they can receive treatment quickly).

A cheering picture of SWMBO's tulips which she isn't here to see!! Note the Magnolia tree in the background flowering for the first time since she planted it 4 years ago, irony or what?

Taken lazily out of my upstairs window, it's a long way down :roll:

They have been planted for years but this is the first time they have flowered, usually just a load of leaves.

That sounds like a great idea!! How do you fancy several scintillating Citroen scythers popping round for an afternoon Peter?

If you would like to do the whole field certainly. Perhaps you could bring a transporter with you. :wink:
