Setting off on Thursday. Hotels booked in Snowdon, Aberystwythythllyth, Ludlow and Stratford.
Will be in Castle Coombe on Saturday (3rd June). Trust that you won't have disgraced yourselves and that an Elan will still be welcome and locals will not meet me with pitchforks.

Locals all very friendly, especially those with Scottish ancestry. Can't promise we won't have disgraced ourselves though - especially those with Scottish ancestry :lol:

Just seen the prog about ancient aliens who were supposed to have given in depth knowledge on tech and surgery to ancient civilisations.

If these aliens were from elsewhere then how did they have such knowledge on human anatomy in the first place?
If they were aliens then they must have had similar anatomy themselves or have been somewhere else where others have similar anatomy.
Either that or they where not aliens at all but a more sophisticated human form from here.

which brings me onto

we are close to another mini ice age. if the greens get their way and stop global warming the earth will be plunged into an ice age and most of the population of the northern hemisphere will die. The only way to stop this is to increase your carbon footprint. Drive harder and faster with bigger engines.

and also
if we spin round the earths axis and speed around the sun which rotates around the galaxy which is in an ever expanding universe- how fast are we actually going and can you stop it cos I wanna get off!!!!!!

No. Docu looking at ancient inscriptions and the like.

They went to Scotland to try and do brain surgery but were redirected elsewhere

Yes, I think so

I will post details as they become available :burnout:

In the meantime, here is a photo of the car Jim Clark sat in after winning the Indianapolis 500 in 1965. My sister and brother in law own it :burnout:
