    Default what do you drive at the weekend

    I have many interests outside of Hifi and old Fords are one of them , I imported this last year and spent a fair bit of my spare time fiddling and fetling it to get it up and running, had to have the engine and gearbox fully rebuilt as it was worn out but now it starts and runs perfectly and can now enjoy taking it out when the weather allows, it's a 1925 model T roadster complete with an original engine and drive line , the three pedal-hand throttle arrangement take a bit of time to master but as for smiles per miles it is a corker , I have just fitted period wire wheels and now adding a few period extras , the interior and hood are yet to be finished , it certainly puts smiles on other peoples faces

    we took took it out on New Year's Day and met up with a few mates to have breakfast at Shoreham Airport

    Used to have this, not any more sadly-

    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
