@joncoupland Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !

@joncoupland FAME ...at last !

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@ShamiKalra Good for you Shami !

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@adrianfclarke Good job, well written. Any Ferrari of that era would have had the same number of niggles, but you certainly avoided a big hit. That itch scratched... what next ?

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@London_W4 Oh ... and when I was drinking it - I wasn't paying for it ! Quite an important little detail !

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@London_W4 One bottle at £4250, or 2 of something else at £ 2125, or ten bottles of £ 425 wine. When I did drink Petrus it was circa £ 800 a bottle depending on vintage... Is it purely to impress others or is it ten times better than a bottle at £ 425 ?

@timpitt100 But if it was YOUR money and resale value is of some importance... which one would you choose ?

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@JamesMelville Is that South West Scotland ? Think I drove past that last year ....

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@joncoupland You are right Jon, the M25 does a brilliant job for what it was designed for in 1966. There were approx 10 million cars on the road then - now there are 36 million + lorries, vans etc. The problem is governmental and lack of continued investment in infrastructure

@joncoupland You always were an excellent judge of people .... and you haven't lost your touch !

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@ListerLawrence I'd never insult you or call you a liar but I'll have a sportsmans bet with you that you sell it before I die ....

@ClarksonsFarm1 Freshly sliced banana from the fridge.

@JamesMelville I gave up after about 6 weeks and went to the doc for antibiotics, that got it sorted

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@joncoupland Hippy Barthday ! My advice now is to stop counting ...

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@joncoupland Values at the time Ford GT, value now Ferrari 288 GTO

@benonwine Did NOBODY else spot that she had her fingers crossed when taking the oath and know what that means ? I would have thrown her out immediately

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@London_W4 AH for PM !

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@LUDENClassics Fascinating. Have you had any 'big' ones ? I have survived three over the years, all written off, the first one was pre seat belts !

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@LUDENClassics Todays road was designed in 1966 !

[Mike Harrington @v8mth]

@LUDENClassics It took me a long time to understand it. The M25 is one huge piece of moving segmented motion. The speed limits are trying to stop you reaching the next jam too soon, giving it a chance to move on. The real problem is the road was never designed to handle todays volume of traffic
