cort16 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I just got this book there's some fantastically dull car trivia in it. Some examples are: Rolls Royce developed a 4 cam 5 litre v8 to replace the 6.75 litre engine and fitted it to a Chevy Caprice to test it. The project was cancelled and the car was sold and is still supposed to exist. Modern Lexus's electric windows slow down at the top of their travel inspired by the Japanese etiquette for closing sliding doors a unobtrusively as possible during a tea ceremony.

The queue was still more than the cinema's capacity when we came out when i was little my dad took me to the ABC in Middlesbrough to see Star Trek - The Motion Picture. having queued up around the building for an age, the Usher came out and told us waiting outside that they were full. we went to the Odeon instead and watched Snow White...... myglaren and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvinsMom Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 my parents have had the grand daughters up for a few days "holiday" mainly i think cos our Catherine has had them stuck at home since March. apart from their cat just about leaving home cos kitty, who is the most timid thing you will ever, evermeet, cannot do with the noise, disruption and "petting" the girls lavish on him. my dad also took them out fishing in the boat. the eldest (Grace who is 13) eventuially got very,very seasick. head over the side, hurlling, the while thing, the younger one (Lucy 11) was initially "supportive" and holding her sisters hair back outta the way. that sort of thing. well at first...... eventually she kinda snapped, "this isn't fun any more, will you just fuckin' pull yourself together!!" our kid must be so proud...... siblings don't you just love them!

I watched Star Wars in the USAF cinema of Wright Patterson Air force Base in Dayton Ohio, the year before it was released in the UK. I had deadful jet lag, as a 10 year old. attending my Sisters wedding to a Captain in The US Army. We stayed in a motel on the base, because his father was in the air force and got us subsidised accomodation. Also got to buy a skateboard on the way home in the biggest apartment store in Chicago. I was the only kid in school with a skateboard. myglaren and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
