Last time I was out in a car with my old man was back in the early 70's. I remember him getting pulled..he never drove after that. The car was a Jensen Interceptor.

I remember my mum paying 35pence a gallon for Shell 3 star petrol at our local garage and you'd get a free mini bust of a famous footballer too.
I can also remember filling up my brand new moped a Yamaha FS1E DX (bright canary yellow) for £1.00 including a shot of 25:1 two stroke oil out of a pump can in 1977.

Sorry I have to be a pedant but that Leggo tank is not a Russian tank. It a ww2 German Panther, if the pesky Ruskies are using those then no wonder they are failing.
Edit: someone better tell the farmer he has nicked an APC and not a tank. OK I'll get my coat......

Well see if you can do the same to this Mr Pedant

I guess they didn't have much to model it on

True. Alot of Russian tanks look more like APCs these days what with the "javelin" turret removal service that the Ukrainians seem to be so good at.

Sorry, I have to be a pedant, but it is "Lego", not 'Leggo"

I wish I'd seen that route in use. Still wander it when I visit. Trying to imagine just what is in that picture and the train running down to the quay.

Ah fond memories of going over a particularly "noisey" section of (was it M26) and then having to change the tyre. Apparently there was "one" slab of motorway was well known locally.
