Well done Tom.
Was there a trophy?

I've only ever two won trophy's trophies in my life, one for poker and one for boxing. Mrs Red knocked the poker one over and smashed it the day after I won it, and she sold my boxing one on the car boot.

You can take the man out of poker, but you.... no, that doesn't work.

Well done Mr Dog!!

I've paused after 10 seconds and I'm guessing Triumph Dolomite.

Pressing play again now...

You were right, I loved it.

I remember the days when you could actually work on your engine. Imagine trying to do that with a modern one?

More mechanical stuff itt please.

It was a Triumph BTW, but I couldn't see which model.

As a youngster I worked on cars because I couldn't afford not to. Even changed the gearbox in my Splittie Morris Minor one weekend. Now? I wouldn't want to even start.

I thought it might be a Herald, but you're probably right.

I needed a jump start recently and the guy who offered to help me had to look in the handbook to work out where the battery was. Turned out it was inaccessible but at least there was a spot to hook the cable to.

Research on borders (as part of hte Indepndence debate up here in Scotland) lead me to read an interesting article online about daft borders that makes Spike Milligan's pub with a corner over the border in Puckoon seem realistic.....

http://www.cracked.com/article_19925_the-5-stupidest-things-ever-done-with-borders.html#ixzz2uwGdeJ95

The border fence between the USA and Mexico can't be built on the border in some areas - which leaves situations like college students in Texas having to pass through border control to get to some classes, or even a farmer that has to travel through Mexico to get to some of his fields.

The table half in North Korea & Half in South Korea so they can negotiate without crossing the border.

Or the Indian town that is an enclave in a Bangladeshi town, that is an enclave in an area of India that is an enclave in Bangladesh..... and to get a passport the residents need to go to 'mainland' India, but they need a passport to pass through Bangladesh twice to get a passport Catch 22 indeed....

Politicians make some really stupid rulings without consideration for the impact on people - no common sense.

Looking again, I think Spitfire is the most likely. I went for Dolomite because most of them had that twin choke Webber carburettor.
