Google reminding me of the day my mate picked up his Aston Martin and he came straight to me from the Dealer.
This is outside my house in Weston super Mare I was just about to show him how to use the Italian transmission.
Believe it or not the lady driving was Russian with a driving instructor.

Did the Aston have an I love Ukraine sticker on the bumper ? It would explain why the Russian lady thought it was ok to invade the Astons space.

Long story her husband a lot older than her had not been nice to her and had a silver Mercedes cabriolet and she thought it was him so she was taking him up the rear in her mind.
He paid for all the damage without going through the insurance.

Dont remember them. Our chemistry teacher had a 126. Physics teacher had a 2CV, he wasn’t good around electricity. Had to go to hospital with burns after shorting the battery on it. He was demonstrating a Van Der Graf generator in a lesson and there was spark followed by a loud thud, after a minute or two someone went and turned the lights on to find him unconscious on the floor.

You watch so called national / club rallying and you see what look like MK2 Escorts but these things run Millington engines, sequential boxes, clever torque sensing rear axles on modern suspension. The only thing Mk2 is the shell and even that it uprated to moderne specs. Even Mikola, Clark or any other MK2 rally legends would be able to keep up in there genuine period MK2 BDAs
