Did the original volume get any coverage here?
Before “The Great Drupal Unpleasantness”?

Umm, it does mention that incident:

“There was an Austin Maxi (owned by Apple) that John drove on a holiday in Wales and England, then crashed in Scotland on July 1st 1969. Yoko, Kyoko and Julian were on board […]

Long journeys in Australia in an old Land Rover? Strictly for tougher people than me.

Ahem, @Junior-Wells , this is a guess but to me it seems that there is a risk that your range of choices might narrow over time.

If you’ve got the time and the energy now might be the opportune moment. Also, […]

If I were in your position, and my own is possibly somewhat similar, I’d say “Yes, yes it does”, at least for anything above a mild hybrid. You’d have to do a lot of Km of electric running to recover the extra […]

Thank you @Vulpes-Vulpes !

Another point that I latched onto somewhere…

In many economies tax payers (all of us) are effectively subsidizing the affluent people who can afford to buy pure electric vehicles.

This is a simplification, but It depends on how the batteries are charged.

With a serious plug-in hybrid there will be some fairly hefty batteries that have to be charged from time to time. For your long trips […]

Back to the OP.

Sounds like a lot of long trips after you move. In which case probably only look at “mild” hybrids. With more serious hybrids you’ll be burning a lot of fuel on lugging some heavy (usually […]

Wormholes in space anybody?

Perhaps somewhere out there there is a planet ideally suited to socks and another for gloves?

Actually this brought the hairs up:

Little bits of blue sky appearing in Little Islington On The Downs.

Three of my regular cheer-ups:

(My father was a dedicated Duke fan.)

I think that it works for me because it goes so fast.

Ooops, I’ve just realised that it wasn’t the Toots track I thought it was but that doesn’t detract from Gary’s effort.

The play out music often seems very carefully chosen.

The first I heard of it was when Gary Imlach mentioned it in his closing comments on yesterday’s Tour De France highlights. At one point rider 54 (Stefan Küng) was leading and Gary had had a thought along the […]

No, definitely MK II – no 16V for the Mark I, also brakes a little better.

I was going to say MK II VW Golf GTI 16V – 200,000 thousand miles of my best motoring.

But then I temptation got too much for me – I bagsie a VW Golf R in the lariest colour available. I’m 61 you know.

You’ll be lucky to get away with “some”.

Mention of X19s brings a horrible memory screeching back. A trike – back half X19, front half chopper style motorcycle. Perceptibly not very well constucted.

Hmmm, “manly bush business” . . .

On a different note I was touched when I spotted an LUFC flag raised on a front garden flag pole in Little-Islington-On-The-Downs (approx 260 miles from Elland Road).

Further complicating matters, I noticed recently that at least one virus protection package “free” VPN facilities…
