Daley Thompson? (assuming the redhead is a Thompson Twin).

Let's see if you can guess this one. Two pictures, same event.

Although not exactly a fan of all this Olympics nonsense, SWMBO acquired a couple of cheap tickets for some equestrian event the other day so, against my better judgement, I went along. Yawn.

Anyway, all was not lost as, during a thrilling walk around the cross-country course at Greenwich Park (in the pissing rain), I managed to clock a view of this jump, made out of an old Massey Ferguson tractor.

 

So here's some genuine Olympic autoshite.

Or perhaps they didn't fancy the humiliation of being ferried across the capital city of England to the British Olympic Games in a herd of basic German cars, only to find that when they tried to relieve the soreness of a cross-city journey on run-flats with a relaxing pint, they couldn't quench their thirst in the Olympic venues with the products of the 20 breweries in London, but had to settle for some Dutch gnat's piss

 

Oh and VA is it the high jump, i'm not very good at these competition things

Sorry, yes that was Daley Thompson. Forgot I had done that. Was really struggling to find a 'Thompson' car link.

Olympic-shite? What about this pic of the RMS Olympic, sister ship of the Titanic arriving at the scrappy in Jarrow in 1935?
