But you would have to go to Lucknow to access that part of the Webb!
That could well be true James but not the only place to find his records!! #-o #-o :-D

I've had a look now at Lucknow and now if it morphs its way into Only Connect Mastermind or University Challenge Questions which FCF trivia do on a regular basis, I will be on the ball!

According to an owner on "Bangers and Cash" Cliff Richard owned a Jenson Interceptor. While they did do a soft top with a quarterlight, the wing mirrors are chromed (and the soft top sits too high, and the wipers are wrong);

I was called out this morning for a PC problem in Elstree which needed sorting for the online schooling on Monday so I thoroughly enjoyed stretching the MX3's legs. There is a LOT of water out there!! On the way home I stopped at the bakers for a pasty and as I was eating it this car came by. Any ideas?

Well icesofbruerne may have disappeared from their website, but Bruerne is Stoke Bruerne in South Northants.

I did think it may be your garden but 50 odd miles away to hire an ice cream van when there would be plenty local ones, Ill change my guess to the obvious

Stoke Bruerne

But then again, maybe they did a bit of catering at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone which isn't a kick in the pants away

Better change my guess again to Silverstone :-D
