The worryingly low-priced supercharged L322 Range Rover that Richard had found seems to have sold so no link to that. Probably for the best.

Comments
Was sure that Richard was yanking everyone’s chain with his Girls Aloud fact. I should have known better. On this: there used to be a rule in La France that a certain proportion (50%?) of music played on French radio had to be “French”. This resulted in Anglophone artists/groups cranking out some lazy reworks of their stuff but I’m fairly sure the rule had gone by the time GA committed this crime against music, language and cross-Channel relations. Love the show. My first Patreon. The idea that you give your car super unleaded “as a treat”? It’s like you can see into my brain - hope you go from strength to strength x

He'd fashioned a dash mount for the pipe so the twisty open quarter light window brilliantly sucked the smoke straight out the front, and straight back in again the other side of the glass. "Fun Orange" did nothing against the small bonfire in the front but the octagonally ish shape looked just like the early Triumph dash lights!

2021-01-20 09:11:19 +0000 UTCGuys, how could you not consider a Subaru Tribeca for the Porter family grotwagen? Interesting large-ish petrol engine. More reliable than your air-suspended ideas and with a grille that looks like a lady garden. What's not to like?

2021-01-18 09:22:31 +0000 UTCGirls Aloud don’t need to speak French. They let the funky music do the talking, talking...
