May I wish all of my friends here a Very Happy, Peaceful, and a Blessed Christmas. I have enjoyed your company and conversation immensely over the past twelve months …. so as a Special Treat I invite you all over to the Picture Parade for 'The Life of Bauble' premiere.
As a pious old Git may I simply say God Bless you all. |

Well here's to a happy end to Boxing day, we have been out walking along the beach in mid 20s temp and gearing up for the new years day charity swim. I shall be filming it as usual from the freezing cold beach while Sue will be in the boiling hot sea raising money and filming the other "candidates" close up in the water

Been trying to remember the film where I first saw an HK500 .It was in the 70s , or even 60s , but I have not been able to remember it . https://www.imcdb.org/ This link can keep you amused for hours remembering all of the cars in films , but it does not have any Facel Vegas . |

Tel, that site maybe doesn’t respond to searches very well, as it lists the car in Ratatouille..... https://www.imcdb.org/m382932.html And yes, very distracting website! Whoops, just found a list of HK appearances! https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-..._model-HK.html |

Those sites are really super cool. If you have a lot of time in your hands, make a search with Citroën DS! I mean the real one. Hollywood are found of this car able to feature almost any country any year!

Mike , do you think it is worth starting a new thread with the link to cars in films . As this thread will probably go in a few days time , it might be nice to have an easy access to the thousands of pictures of all of the different cars . I know most of them are not actual motorsport , but it can be interesting to see them all . |

One of my old mechanics,who I had to let go couple of years ago has landed on his feet. He is now building cars to be blown up or crashed in Films. Really pleased for him and it was nice that he was grateful to us for giving him the chance to learn about mechanics and welding. Currently building the new Bat mobile.

Interesting article on the Times web site today, as ever the fun is in the mealy-mouthed comments section.
It is behind a pay wall. If you can't read it the headline screenshot tells the story. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/i...ines-fs8zt7k53 Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Oddly enough we've just got back from Marshall in Cambridge where we were invited to view the Mustang Mach E. Very impressed and if the presentation is to be believed the GT will blow the socks off most current EVs.
Range of 330 miles for the AWD high performance version. |

I asked that question. Apparently as Tesla can use the other services, Ford and VW will be allowed to use the Tesla service. We shall see, however I placed my order. Other things I asked were about updates and they will be over the air. Will now look at a home charging box on the garage wall.
