Stowaway Snakes

I don't think i'd have managed to remain this calm somehow... CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Monty Coles was 3,000 feet in the air when he discovered a stowaway peeking out at him from the plane's instrument panel — a 4 1/2-foot black snake. Coles had left Charleston earlier for a leisurely flight over the...

The standards round here tend to be Focus hatches for the beat men, Focus estates and Mondeo's for response with V70's on armed response and the motorway. It's not too bad, a 2 litre Mondeo TDCI is plenty quick enough for most situations encountered on a day to day basis. The city, strangely, still ...

I think I remember that on TV? The Impreza has only been superficially updated since it came out ten years go or so.

We were once given nice, quick and sporty cars.

Brilliant shots Tom. I miss seeing all your classics, when joined my job I went to, the now sadly closed, training school at Ryton, very near Baginton. I remember being out for a run down Ryton Ponds when your Anson flew overhead, my running partner exclaimed loudly "Ohh look, a spitfire...&quo...

I've always flown 2D as it's just too hard to move around a VC.

I haven't got Track IR or a hat swith thingy on my joystick though.

I'm a creature of habit too...
