They are best in red but for some reason I really like the styling on them yeah they aren't particularly fast but that doesn't matter.

If we were able to name our colours, I'd go for the cliche light blue top and white bottom. I'd rather have a car that's a friend when going fast over bumps though, those old british sports cars will turn on you whenever they even see a bump in the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 My brother had some Brit car that couldnt be fixed. looked cool. I do love your toasters and kettles from Dualit. What can we learn from this If you want something that toast's itself or boil's over well, buy Brit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember what was his rank but it was higher than captain... Extremely smart.. Started school in grade 4...was recruited straight from highschool...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Just tided up the garage, it had a fair amount of motorcycle gear unceremoniously dumped all over the shop. Sitting in my happy place having a cup of tea before I get back to it. Yes I know the clocks wrong 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
