Long live the King!

No, that's my own opinion Like I say, I admire the engineering and when I was in the Industry I envied their success, but it's just something about the ethos surrounding the hallowed roundel that gets me - bit like the whole celebrity culture thing.

Talking of which, anyone see the programme last night on superbrands? - made my blood boil

JC isn't quite the to**er that many people think - He is a showman.

I know him quite well and we've had quite a few pretty intellectual discussions but he knows just how to get his audiences going, whether that be for, or against, him ! And his wife, Francie, is a shrewd cookie as well as a lovely lady.

The last time I was with him, he was legging it back up his driveway to get me some more petrol for his off road buggy thing that I was driving !

I wonder how many people know what his mum is famous for?

Spot on Mark it's a 73 last one before they put the gearchange on the wrong side. They were Mk1 amel Mk2 were 75 on, they are Mikuni now. I went for reliabilty instead of originality she's a heavy old girl to push home
