I would find that funny actually like most fictitious comedy, if it wasn't for the real chance that some gullables would actually believe the content. Some people are just so easily led I guess.

Had a good read of your PH post Samoht, nice purchase you have there

Wish I could have made it but it was school fair day! Looks a good meet once again!

And you are stuck in a blinkered mindset that we are only talking about railways. Corbyn wants to nationalise everything at any cost. If you are happy with repeating failed social experiments like this that’s your prerogative. To reconfirm, you did not have to tolerate nationalised services In the UK in reality, that’s correct yes? Because you won’t seem to admit to this. Your problem is you you don’t even understand why some things cost more than others which exist in two separate industries, If you struggle with that then I would advise you go read some more books on the economics of industry. ...and that you seem equally unwilling to listen. ... and yes can’t wait for 27 days of strikes to start on Monday. Lovely.

No. Simply someone that agrees with your point of view. So I take it you never had to put up with the trash that was the rail system in the south east pre-privatisation. Ok glad that’s clarified. Including all the fatal accidents that happened whilst nationalised as well.

Did you use the railways in the 80s? If so, what was your experience? I lived in Paris and used cross European and local trains. ...and let’s not forget part of the railway is currently nationalised, it’s the bit that fails more often than the trains.

Oh and his hero is Karl Marx, so I would read up on that and imagine modern Britain following a similar pattern.

Steering clear of antisemiticism for a bit but his idea to nationalise pretty much anything he can get his hands on - I remember trains pre privatisation, and they were absolutely shocking. They arent great now, but were worse then. Anything putting power back in the hands of unions is going to bring utter drudgery to the services they strangle. He basically wants the country to fund everything from higher education to energy. It will cost hundreds of billions of pounds to even start making a dent in renationalising everything, there is no money for it, additionally there is little I see from him that shows we will service our national debt. His obsession with the tiny minority of high earners that will somehow fund everything by increasing tax rates, by radically taxing inheritance (I mean why should people be allowed to save for their childrens sake - it should be used to buy railways) so on and so forth even a ten year old can do the numbers that show it doesnt add up. Thats how it was in the 70s, just as the economy failed and needed updating, yet despite history showing otherwise, lets go back there? Really?

The manifesto 'promises' are a joke though - 40 hospitals, yes that's actually something like 6 funded and 34 more they are 'having a think about' rather than 40 new hospitals. Corbyn should offer the public a choice, by resigning and giving us someone credible as opposition!

But lets be honest, the great policies are often the ones that never get implemented post election, its the easy ones that do. And rarely do the two attributes happen to be the same thing. And the world changes too fast nowadays, if we slumped into a post Brexit recession you may as well kiss goodbye to most of the manifestos promises anyway.

To be fair, the stripped out track car was the only one with the upgraded T7 heater, we were all sitting in it for a few minutes each to warm up To paraphrase Blackadder, the heater in my car blows at the speed as an asthmatic ant carrying some heavy shopping.

Maybe a new sub forum called 'Other spurious completely unsubstantiated rehashed rubbish off the internet' Rule 1: Please make sure whatever you post has been posted at least 10 times on this forum already, otherwise mods will remove it, we don't want original trustworthy news in this sub forum Rule 2: Please ensure that you include an image proving the story which has been drawn by a currently unemployed Iranian freelancer as categorical proof of the news article in question Rule 3: Please make sure you get really really really excited about the story no matter how absurd the claims are , never let common sense get in the way of a brilliantly nonsensical news article

Even if you take some serious character flaws out, the fact he belives 1970s Britain is the model for a modern society in the 21st century is enough to make you shudder!

Yep all VX220s, the one at the front has a coupe cover over the engine (an aftermarket product offered up by a few companies)

Latest polls have Boris way ahead. Sad times. An institutionalised cheat, liar and morally bankrupt person as PM vs a loony left 1970s anti-semitic nut case vs no other worthy candidate of note. An utter freak show of epic proportions coming up to vote in.

It was an eight car shoot out, there was one of every different type from a Saab engined conversion (which broke down!) to a VXR to a supercharger conversion to a stripped out track car. Mine was the most standard one there aside from the almost standard NA so not expecting to win the 'shoot out' although the journo did say he loved the sounds coming from mine so maybe I am the aural winner

Sorry cant make this Andy, been roped into the school christmas fair, I am in goal for the penalty shoot out stand

Yes funny that, I mean could it be, that all these articles are just a load of old codswallop written up by journos to fill pages.

As the OP is relatively new, I think some leeway is allowed But yes endless threads all based off the same rubbish article by Autocar about 18 months ago - the same article that claimed the Tokyo 2019 show would be showing off the new 400z concept, take a look and let me know if you see it... https://www.tokyo-motorshow.com/en/gallery/photo/01_050_Nissan/index001.html

It was wet. And cold. And windy! But they managed to sneak in pics and a test drive of all the cars! Magazine comes out in January they will also send over hi res photos of my car once the mag comes out which will be great to have.

Hard to tell in the pics, but was that midnight blue? Lovely colour if so. Remember, there are many cars out there and as hard as it is to say goodbye, there are always others waiting for you to snap them up!

That would put it in supercar territory alongside McLarens etc and thats not where the Z car sits. Thats where the GTR should be. So cannot see any truth in this at all.

Popped over to Wheels in Motion today to get the alignment done, just for peace of mind really. Anyway guy said it was set up, but for hard track use rather than everyday fast road driving! So have had it put back to a more road compliant format. All set for the trip on Monday for the photoshoot...in the rain

...we are to live in a time when we can drive sporty roaring cars before they all get replaced by soulless boxes Make the most of our time people - the future doesn't look particularly exciting to me https://www.astonmartin.com/en-gb/models/dbx

Well given earlier in the year he said he would never endorse an Irish Sea customs border to solve the backstop, nor should any Tory government and yet here we are with him having done exactly that, given that, would you trust him? I get Dan is going on the brexit vote only, but there are much more damaging repercussions to come in my opinion that will be difficult or impossible to reverse once we finally get a leader in that gives a toss about anyone... ...and lets not forget the fake fact check twitter account they set up last night
