    The Pike will eat everything you put in that pond, catch it and release it.

    Mr Steve Fossett went missing in Sept 2007.
    Google Earth images are a minimum of 2 years old when they go live. If the area you look at is already high res, it could be up to 5 years old.

    So, GE searching is a bit premature at the moment.

    I didn’t really get into Train “Spotting” but spent many a summer day at a junction in Timperley, near Altrincham. Skelly junction??
    This would be 65 and/or 66.
    And yes, I would cycle the 7 miles to Ringway on the country lanes from Brooklands near Sale. Cycle home in the dark with no worries or threats. Brooklands road used to continue in a straight line towards the airport at the Timperley end, IIRC it was called Brooks Drive?
    Also used to cycle to Barton, in those days not many visiting A/c, so week after week with no new reggies!

    neat 🙂

    I was a spotty teenage spotter then, at Ringway. All very familiar!
    On the related video’s section of your link, there is a Viscount / Vanguard clip.
    Superb. The thrill of the shrill of those engines.

    Have to agree on the Veyron ! As for the Jaguar they are so boring, driven by old men.

    These days maybe, old men wishing they were 20 again!
    But a Mark 2, it’s a Female Magnet.

    IMO that is one Butt ugly mother f.
    Compare it with the beauty of the Mark 2 Jag pictured above, or a BMW shark nosed 6.
    Or the sheer elegance of an E-type Jag.

    And whats wrong with Volvo drivers 😡 😡 I drive a Volvo 850 cos I have a big family and I drive the same in that has I do in any car.
    You should not judge people by the cars they drive.
    What gets me mad is people that judge other people by the car they drive or the way they have there hair 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

    Like it or not, but everybody on the planet judges another person in 4 seconds. Hair, car, body language or whatever.
    And that 4 seconds is enough to guage whether you like or not like that other person. This is how we function as a race. If we had to find out all the details of every person we met – to make a judgement – we would not do anything else.

    My bug about big Boxy Volvo drivers is that they to appear to feel so protected in their car, their driving is left a little wanting…pulling out at junctions, lack of signals, bad parking etc. But, must say, you never usually see a Volvo in the outside lane doing 100 like some plonker drivers do.
    There are far worse drivers of course, usually correctly predicted by a baked bean can exhaust, a Bass that shakes the horizon, tinted windows etc.
    Totally support the protection of your kids and family, which is paramount. Cannot fault the build standard of the car whatsoever.
    But, whenever there is a queue of traffic doing 27 on a 60mph road, it’s usually a Volvo holding it all up. Down to 20 it’s a Volvo with a van, and a dog in a cage in the back.
    If this is not you, then I accept that you are outside the box, and apologise.

    The color with no color, white all the way.

    I thought the colour with no colour was Octarine? 😉
