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...

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
