A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
My little pride and joy:
1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 - in winter trim. Now it's Easter and the sun is shining, it will soon be time to replace the roof with its hood.
These were hairy when they had a 1300 engine, the 1500 is somewhat overpowered and the De Dion axle only just copes. For best handling, it has a paving slab in the boot.![]()
Top speed is about 130 mph, the edge taken off by the conversion to unleaded fuel. Crazy fun on country roads at 40 though!

"If there is a sin against life, it consists not so much in despairing as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this one."

Skoda Octavia as an everyday car , Volvo 360 for long runs , VW Lt35 for work/sea fun/camping .
Plus an old 35 for if I can be bothered to work the bog .
Very boring - but drives very nicely, is large (I'm quite tall), and was cheap ($4000 USD - bought about six months ago).
2000 Taurus SE (silverish blue color)
But a lawyer in a 2006 black Mercedes slammed into me two days ago... Thank goodness it wasn't the other way around though!
He's a lawyer. You'll get the least amount of money you deserve.![]()
