You couldn't make it up. Keep these grifters out of power. They only speak for their wallets not the country's well being.

This ancient Greek figure from the 2,500 year-old Douris Cup looks uncannily like someone working on a laptop! 😲 💻 He’s actually writing with a stylus on a hinged wax writing tablet! The technology has changed, the posture has not! 😂 Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me
My photo shows detail from an ancient Greek red-figure kylix (drinking cup) of a young man shown in profile seated on a stool facing right. He wears a knee length cloak (himation) over his left shoulder, which is shown in folds around his waist and upper legs. His right shoulder, chest, and arms are bare. His dark hair is short, and he wears a band around his head. He is looking down at an open rectangular wax writing tablet which he is supporting in his left hand above his lap. In his right hand he holds a metal stylus pen poised over the writing tablet. The wooden writing tablet is hinged like a book and, from this angle, resembles a modern laptop. The figure is part of a scene depicting school lessons in ancient Athens, painted by Douris around 480 BC. On display at the Altes Museum in Berlin.

That's what I love about #weirdcarbs - I grew up just a handful of miles from the PS factory and never knew it made Volvo parts!

I used to be able to fill my Sprinter for £100 or just over. Now it's north of your figure, plus the fuel for the karts. Near on £250 bill before breakfast is great.

Bicester Scramble isn't a classic car show, it's an eclectic car show. The very essence of #weirdskybs ... Take these 70s F1 cars to start with. Or are they? The real stars of "Rush" were present. The M23 was good and the Lotus was a clever pastiche - a transverse bike engine under Cosworth covers

From the days when the crash structure was the fuel tank. Crazy to think how much less fuel today's cars use despite their enormous horse power.

I'll dribble in some Bicester Scramble highlights for me. Apologies for the quality, my ageing (cheap) phone struggled with the October light. Weather was glorious though! #weirdcarbs

Hear hear! The worst thing to hit Formula 1 has been the rise of the "Eff Wun Fan". We used to be motor sports "enthusiast", who cheered everyone when they did something good, and admired the technology and driving equally. We didn't cry "X only woke because of the car", we celebrated that car.

My thoughts exactly. Fewer major exhibits and I definitely missed the pre-2001 parking. That used to be a car show on its own!

We had a 51 plate 1.6 some years back. Bought it reluctantly only as it matched budget and availability, but it won our hearts. Just did everything well and wasn't thirsty. Sold it when the clutch failed, it's still doing duty on the local skid pan to this day!

IIRC the "hub cap" versions were 14". I had a 2.0efi MG and it had the 15" cross spokes the same as my MG Montego Turbo. Have I got the measurements right? It was a long time ago. The MG Maestro was a really good car, I had a lot of fun with mine which I used as a hillclimber.
