I'd pick between two if that's OK Steve? First, some British grit - the classic Landrover:

It's the ultimate do anything, go anywhere vehicle. It went, and still goes, to war. It farms, it carries and it never, ever breaks. Ever. I don't specify which Landy (although the picture is a mk1) but the early ones have a rugged beauty that the modern ones don't).


Second, some Gallic flair - the beautiful and ingenious Citroen DS:

Unique in design, futuristic even at 50 years old, capable of driving on only three wheels, used by French Presidents. A car with character. And I want one. Badly.

Favourite car I?ve ever had was the 1979 Mercedes W123 I drove for a while.


Favourite ever? That?s a bit difficult. It?s like trying to choose your favourite song but for styling reason only: The original ?55 T-Bird, First generation Ford Mustang, Porsche 356 speedster, Alpha GT Junior.

Well the reason I stated 'for the guys' was the fact that women to the most part, are less likely to turn their head for a car, unless it is a red one.

Thankyou for your input, Georgia dear!


Cowboy anything is permitted during those youthful, innocent days, which are all too short.


David I have always loved the shape, and indeed the ride, of the citroen it was a landmark in car design, and still looks good enough for the 21st century.


Jeremy any way you like it. In your dreams, owned, or both.


AllforNun you're not slipping back into those nasty little habits are you, dirty little devil,.......... lucky bar stud!

For the past 22 years mine too has been the red one, and I still own her....

Sorry, I know this a thread for "fellas" and you all think I'm some wannabe bloke, but I really detest general girly stuff.

I LOVE football and I like cars. (I also paint my nails, wear high heels and have long hair, so hopefully that makes up for it)


Was nearly fickle enough to date a fella who drove one of these once.

Ab-so-lute-ly Jeremy!...I would have made it clear "No touching" on our first "Date" and then could say (after I dumped him) that I've been in one of them...

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
