Right, what's big (very big), has terrible MPG, shows some signs of rust, has a huge engine and is massively, MASSIVELY cool?

Sorry not car related but has an engine and is simply awesome. For anyone who fancies going it's docked in Liverpool until Monday, just a wheeltrim's throw away from the tunnels.

 

Tomorrow from 1.00pm onwards you can go onboard free of charge and again on Monday from 2.00pm I think. I'm going to try and go back and have a walk round, it's fugging amazing.

A few years ago, I had a tour of HMS Illustrious, and managed to feel sea sick whilst stood on the ski ramp while she was tied up in Pompey. Probably why I'm not in the Navy....

Saw that yesterday while I was at work. Pretty impressive stuff. Might go and have a look on Monday!

Another maritime incident today. The Mersey Ferry tried to cut up a big tanker, and narrowly avoided a collision (by drastically steering away) by 20 metres!!!

 

 

What a moron!
