Hungry? Why not visit our KFC? We have a fantastic festive chicken meal that looks like the Grinch knocking one out.

300,000 women die from cervical cancer every year.

But this is a cancer we can effectively eliminate with the HPV vaccine.

This is something very few people know about.

What a line up outside my dad's old offices. Dad's Cortina on the right. He ended up with a twin of the white Carlton next, only in solid blue.

Some in-period shots of my favorite race car at Oulton Park. The mighty thunder saloon Carlton TS6000 which I understand is currently for sale!

Gorgeous thing

Going through old photos at my Dad's. My absolute fave of his company cars. I was super excited as a 9 year old when he got this, one of the very first Carlton CDs in the UK

Car people...question. Do you know if autojumblers buy bulk stock? Need to empty my dad's house now that he's no longer with us and he has lots of NOS bits for random classic era cars.

Condensers, belts all that sort of stuff. I don't want to bin it

Now that we’re here, and the angry people are on X and the dancing people are on insta, and we’re all finding a place; wouldn’t it be nice if there was a peaceful garden somewhere, just for the sexy lady bot accounts, where they could finally rest.
