Lorries creating spray and making visibility virtually zero. Why the *%@$ aren't they fitted with a spray suppression by law?????? Just some metalwork (or plastic) round the wheels would do it. steve

It's a Bond Equipe GT4S and yes it is Triumph Herald based. There was also a 2 seater version with single headlamps. The next, revised version was based on the Vitesse and was called the 2 Litre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Equipe The Bond Equipe is an English 2+2 sports car, manufactured by Bond Cars Ltd from 1963 to 1970. It was the first 4-wheeled vehicle from Bond Cars. steve

Tom, 25-30 days holiday (vacation) is the norm in the UK. We also get 2 days at Easter and 3 Bank Holidays as they're called in England (Scotland is different for these) as public holidays. It's always amazed me how low US holiday allocations are. As for unions, they're still needed and should go back to doing what they were created to do, defend the rights of working men and women. Too much was lost during the Thatcher/Reagan years. steve

"Europeans are guaranteed full time employment and benefits for life." Who told you that fairytale?! Would that it were true. It's zero hours contacts, temporary jobs and unpaid internships for far too many people in the UK. If you're in the professions maybe you will be in full time employment but guaranteed? Nothing like. Even then they are middle class jobs. For working people (US term blue collar) hardly at all. As for benefits, yes we have state pension and some other benefits (US term welfare) but they all have to paid for throughout one's working life. And our current government is cutting even these for the really poor and disabled. At present we still, thank, have the National Health Service until the Tories sell that off too. steve

A very good question... steve

Well done. steve

A perfectly restored Jaguar MkII Saloon in white with chrome wire wheels driving through my village. very nice it looked too! steve

Thanks Steve! steve

Pardon my ignorance but what is an E Code car? Thanks steve

Chick pea curry! Like the pics. steve

Many thanks both. I will contact the Chippewa Historical Socety. steve

Is anyone here able to tell what make/model cars Upper Peninsula sheriff's offices would have driven in 1959? I'm asking so I can get the right car(s) for my model railway. Thanks! steve

The 50mph speed limit on the M1 between Junctions 28 and 32. It seems to have been there for years and nothing is happening to show why it is needed. steve

Lovely models. I really like those old style dirt racers. steve

I would be more than happy to make my last ride in that. Excellent and imaginative work. steve

Thanks Rob Hall! Never seen a Kaiser before. steve

What is it, please? steve

That was my first thought too. steve

One of these in exactly this colour: First I've seen in years. It's a Sunbeam Rapier Fastback Coupe from the late 1960s. steve

I think my brain just exploded... steve

This is in a newly opened car museum on the Isle of Man: steve
