It was 65 years ago today that the first Morris Minor rolled off the production line.

It's 72 days to Consumermass!

A light bulb wont work unless you switch it on and still wont work if its blown or you have apower cut but may work if you have a battery or a generator

It all makes sense now!

You park your Jimny in the middle of an empty car park and when you return there is always a car parked next to you. I did not expect this!

An amazing fact...

The Neutrino particle is so small, that if you scaled an atom up to the size of the Solar System, a Neutrino on the same scale would be the size of a golf ball.

Now there is a similar alternative to the Jimny:

Both have 80BHP
Both have Suzuki engines
Both cost approximately the same new


The new Caterham Seven 160. Turbo 660cc

A daily newspaper reported that there were 20 Concordes made.
4 were prototypes and never went into service.
Of the other 16 one was retired and used for spares and one crashed in July 2000.
The remaining 14, together with 3 prototypes, have been on show at various museums
around the world since Condorde's las flight 10 years ago.

What I want to know is where is the forth prototype hiding?

Only for export markets apparently.
