Almost brings tears to your eyes, i might even go and wipe some mud of the headlights, and polish a little tiny bit, (not a bit that anyone else can see, of course!)

Had a 1hr session today - heaven! I was given some Morphine by the Doctor to get me over 'the festive season', got to admit that 2 weeks of that left me a tad doolally - tis all a cloud, gradually clearing (my excuse in case I was rude to anyone...) :-)

You've done better than I have in the chiropractor stakes though - mine is male, dark and ugly but bloody good at his job. Now he's back from his hols and has attacked my back I can move again so I guess I should get into swapping engines this afternoon so I can go out and play offrd.

Still, better than the 6 weeks in traction which was the alternative. I seriously cannot fecking believe that in this day and age they still do that rather than pay for Chiropractors on the NHS. How much does 6 weeks in hospital cost the NHS? (Not to mention my lost earnings).

:-) proving why the Landy deserved to win the title of best car ever odd hamster presented it tho as the dishevelled May owned a landy? .BTW anyone blink and missed the grey Velar in the middle I would like to see more of that clip which I guess is off an LR promo film so if you have spotted a link for it please post as part of my therapy Derek

> odd hamster presented it tho as the dishevelled May owned a > landy? . No, Hammond is the LR fan. I think the S1 he's driving in the clip is his own. There was an article in one of the comics a couple of years back - he has (or had then) a S1 and a 110, and he raved about all the qualities he talks about in that clip. Sounded very sincere and a real fan - I've liked him ever since.
I think May is more the Bentley/Alvis/Bristol type.
That clip is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

Funny things, celebs and landie shows. Celebs seem far less 'obvious' (cite Ray Mears sitting chatting on the 101 club stand a few years back - eveyone else just thought he were another sad, slightly overweight, geeky mate).
