The owner of the white Mk1 Escort RS Turbo should have collected it all to lubricate his next short drive. Thought it was a coincidence the number of Staaaaaags, considering James May had one on the final Grand Tour last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinpot Posted Sunday at 08:23 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:23 AM I hope this helps those who seem to think that “biosphere” means stopping doing anything that doesn’t have great green credentials. There is a much bigger picture that needs to be looked at. “ The Isle of Man was designated as a UNESCO Biosphere in 2016 in recognition of its special environment, culture, heritage and economy and its people’s desire to cherish and nurture them.” 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted Sunday at 08:31 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:31 AM Looked nice and is the type of tourism we need more of. These people spend actual money here and probably go back and tell their friends how great the place is. https://fb.watch/uLzOuBO5Iv/? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted Sunday at 09:22 AM Share Posted Sunday at 09:22 AM 10 minutes ago, Happier diner said: English lesson ahead. Do you mean 'actually spend money'? "Spend actual money" is a fairly common phrase in English. You get it particularly in contrast to situations where people might come somewhere and look around and say how nice things are, but not actually spend much. It's also common in gaming where games may use virtual money, but players may be able to purchase advantages with cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought is there another money other than actual money. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a line of five waiting to board in Liverpool. I guess there were likely more ETA only because the tide was too low for the fancy boarding bridge and we had to walk off via the car ramp Edited Sunday at 10:08 AM by The Old Git Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were built in Germany 1984/5 and the series2 1986/90 built as a rally car but because demand was high they built 3600 more than the 5000 originally planned. Lady Diane had a MK1 RS turbo which probably boosted sales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
