Re: Premium Bonds

That's good to read. I regard the MX-5 as what such cars as the Triumph Spitfire were intended have been. The only addition to the Mazda I would make would be something to shield my contortions from the general public when I get in and out with the top up. I did wonder if the electric top could be a...

Re: Premium Bonds

It's a 56 plate black mk3. I am very impressed with the hood, about 10 seconds to get down and 25 seconds to put up (Once I remember to lower the windows first) The whole car seems very well designed and built and the performance is breathtaking to me. I'll try and put a picture or two soon.

Premium Bonds

I have held Premium Bonds for many years, the most I have ever won has been about £100 per year in lots of £25 a time. I found this derisory so I cashed in most of my bonds and bought myself a Mazda MX-5 2 seater convertible. Driving this car is great fun for me, at the age of 68 it counts as my lat...

Blackburn Beverley Upgrade

I have lost my copy of the Beverley Upgrade and assume that it was only available on the BritSim site now denied to us by hackers.

Re: IT'S GOOD NEWS WEEK ♪ ♫ (NOT A JOKE)

Pleased to hear your good news Mike. I had several rectal probings in March this year, the last one was by a very enthusiastic doctor, I thought I could almost bite his fingernails! I would suggest a prolonged and brutal examination for the A******* who hacked the BritSim site.

Re: Big blue engine...

When I was at grammar school I used to get told off for watching the Thames- Clyde express charge past my classroom in the 1950s. When I grew up? I became involved in steam loco preservation and restoration and the group took on the overhaul of Blue Peter an A2 pacific similar to the A1 Tornado but ...
