So.

9th November.

No bombs. One accident. One deal that will probably be a waste of time but MAY see life improving for Zimbabweans.

Do you think, perhaps, that we can put 9/11's threat behind us and get on with stuff now? Maybe be allowed to carry our bottle of coke from the departure lounge onto the plane, or you know, some shampoo and stuff?

Or should we all be good little citizens and scared of the nasty terrists, still?

My last car post

Was probably a little unfair. A 1960s version of a 1950s classic up against a newly released Citroën, and both were good cars. I did gloss over the Minor's sharp rack and pinion steering, for example.

However.

How about we move up to 1980s?



An Austin Maestro. This one was actually sold in the late 90s as it's a Ledbury CKD one, but the design was unleashed on an ill-prepared public in 1983. Some are still in hiding now.



And a BX. Can't find a nice pic of a series 1, but only the indicators changed.

A suggestion

Dear America.

Since you are so very, very interested in the rest of the world, and how it works, politically, perhaps you'd do us a favour.

You don't have to field a candidate from outside of the USA.

But please. Let EVERYONE AFFECTED; let's say, UK, Europe, Israel, Arab nations, India and Pakistan, Asia and Australasia... vote in your next election. If you wish to be referred to as "The leaders of the free world", then let the free world vote.

Just a suggestion.

ETA: Whoops, sorry, I forgot Africa. I was going to say "it'd be nice for them to get to play in a free and fair election for once", but, well, you know...
