They are going to send a 6 wheeled Rover to Mars !

I hope it’s not like my old rover!
Although the rover 3500 was a beast!

Stew, spuds and peas for tea, yum!
All washed down with a glass of Carignan to reaffirm my middle-classness

You mean these?

I remember them in the BTCC mid / late 80s...

Supper is a bunch of randoms tonight. Too many little bits of leftovers in the fridge that want eating but are far too nice to contemplate throwing away.

They popular as police cars!

Yup... There's faggots in onion gravy, kidneys, bacon, veggie lasagne, mashed potato, red cabbage and spinach to choose from.

Will probably have enough-ish for tomorrow as well, excepting vegetable matter.

Although by the time I really got "into" watching the BTCC, it were the Ford Sierra Cosworths that were the cars to have. They of the tea tray rear wing.

Me neither, I think 1973 was my last one (Bought from the tuckshop)

Late April, 1977. Straight from the factory shop. Some bugger pinched half of what I had.

They are the same size as ever according to the makers.

"Hands increasing in size since you were a kid"
Doesn't work when you consider they're now thicker than they used to be.

Although the UK Wagon Wheel has barely shrunk, it is still noticeably smaller than the Australian equivalent. As of 2006 the diameter of the Australian version is measured at 88 mm which is 14 mm larger than the UK version, while the UK Wagon Wheel is notably thicker by 4 mm.

Ford Sierra

What a car!

Indeed. The later Sapphires - just before the BTCC went down the 2 litre route - didn't quite hack it for me.

Fair enough, you don’t want the job, but lots of kudos to you for being offered the job. You’re obviously of worth to your employers. Maybe time to ask for a raise...

4 months left of my contract so happy with it at the mo. The new job, when reading the contract, is minimum of 45 hours and average of 48 hours a week. I will become very ill, very quickly with 12 hour days, including the commute. Not for me. Another job will come along.
