one only has to cast ones mind back to Euro 1996. The buzz in the whole country was amazing, and look at what the england team has become since then, we are gradually becoming a force once more.
If the Olympics has the same effect then i say it can only be a good thing. Living near Manchester it was fantastic having the commonwealth games up here. I cant wait for the olympics now.

theres the paying for items over £2 with extremely small change event, i hear there will be a junior event for this too, open to children under 4 years old who have no concept of money at all.
I also hear there will be the 'how many parking spaces can be taken up by one car' event
similarly there is the 'maximum number of manouvers to turn around in a cul e sac'
the 'how many wing mirrors can a truck driver snap off on a residential road'
the 'first up with the brolly at the first sign of rain'
the 'best dancing dad' (I am world champion)

I no longer own a classic but used to restore them, the likes of Porsche 356 Coupe; and a real old Sunbeam Alpine that was to compete in the Monte Carlo Rally; Aston Martin; various MGA's B's and a mini! Had a hand in building a number of AC Cobra replica's namely with huge yank motors in 'em, the odd Rover V8 and 1 Jag V12 (as an apprentice). I then graduated to customising a VW Beetle for kicks before getting bored of it all. Now have a sh*t car!!
hey dafunkyone, would appreciate some advice when i find one. I want a V8 preferably chevvy, what do i need to avoid?
I was at Spike Island to see the Stone Roses, i think it was May 1989, it was a beautiful day too. It was an all day affair. there must have been half a dozen warm up groups, all afternoon and early evening.
And, as promised, just after sunset, that humming base line from 'I wanna be adored' came wafting through the air, it felt like that base line was vibrating in my head for 5 minutes before those wonderful opening few bars on the guitar hit me.
Eat your heart out Oasis, you will never be as good.
I would love to hear from anyone else that was there that night.

Im disgusted with myself.
I once owned a beautiful 1960's oval windowed Beetle (my mates dads old car) which i lovingly restored. Then i swapped it for.............wait for it..............an XR3i ?????????
However I did redeem myself twice, the first time was when my Grandad and I restored one of the first MGB GT Roadsters, god it was beautiful, bright red, loads of chrome etc.....
The second redemption was a Kharman Ghia which i fell in love with watching 'pretty in pink' although thankfully mine wasn't.
If any body has one i am looking for an AC Cobra replica (with V8).

Does no-one use a map anymore?
I drove from Lincolnshire to Kent Yesterday on business - I got there and the bloke I was meeting says "You found it easily have you got Sat Nav?". :? My reaction is - no you gave me directions and I have a map, of course I found it!
If computers stopped working no-one would be able to leave their drive without getting lost!
Roger the Dragon
P.S. - Watch me get lost going to the next munch and having to ring for directions!
a man after my own heart, I map read extremely well and use maps frequently when i am by myself in the car, it annoys the hell out of hubby that i turn the map the way i am going...........anyone else do this? :lol: :lol: :lol:
I do this too!!!! i thought everyone did, mind you i was in the scouts lol, and i got me badge.
i can find my way anywhere in the country except sheffield, its an awful place to drive round, through etc...
as for navigation aids.....
i find that the wife is the best solution, she managed to get us to beziers in the south of france with no effort at all, and she cant read a map either. I havent got a clue how she does it.

When i pulled my missus, i walked straight up to her and said 'May i lick the sweat off your cleavage'
She said 'Yes' (to my utter amazement) 'but let me go dance for a bit ang get sweaty first.'
Sure enough half an hour later shes back thrusting her cleavage at me.
Im still gobsmacked noe thinking about it.

maybe its a seat? as in sayat!!
honestly though, since porche brought out the boxter and especially the Ceyenne (probably the worst looking car in the world) they cant really be taken seriously.
Give me my AC Cobra anyday, oh and by the way longcock i'll race you any day.
Good luck with the pulling though.

when i was a kid i lived in australia, we had something called solarcaine (a sort of aftersun) which wa excellent at colling and healing sunburn. I doubt very much its available here. in the event that we ran out I recall that my mum used to slice up tomatoes and rub them on me. i am asuming this has the same effect as the solarcaine.
OK so i may not be everyones dream date, i accept that.
