Yes, Of course the Vette was a Dream Car, 350 cubic inch and 327 hp, I had it up to 140 once on the Atlantic city expressway, I drove it 4 years then sold it to buy a house, I had a yellow 69 Vette as well that had been wrecked on New Years eve when I bought it and I made thousands selling it out for parts.

my first car was an Austin westminster that I bought from a morpeth policeman, 1965 it was, very fast 6 cylinder, my brother nicked it one day and took it to scotland, he threw it into overdrive at 80 mph and blew the gearbox, it was sitting in a farmyard with chickens living in it last I saw it!! then a Ford Cortina, 1969 I think, I gave it to my Dad when I left England and My brother got his hands on that too. I moved to USA in 73, 1st car was a 1971 Chevy Corvette, nassau blue with a white convertible top, now that was a car!! after that a 67 ford Mustang 327 with 3 on the floor, then a big 71 chevy suburban, a 69 vw beetle then a 76 vw rabbit, 77 chevy suburban, 78 toyota celica, 83 chevy suburban, 85 Buick Le Sabre, 87 oldsmobile cutlass supreme, I have a 92 Chevy sportside 4wd pickup with only 50k miles on it, also a 2000 chevy Bazer 4wd SUV with 55k miles, and a 2003 chevy Monte Carlo which I drive every day that has 60k on it. I probably missed a few, but they were forgetable I guess.

Well this new info adds a lot more light to Rachels actions, she really sounds like she,s lost it!! I,ll shut up now and reserve any more judgements unless its asked for ...sorry guys!!

Knowing when you are out of order, or approaching that state is the key to handling you liquor, if you cant behave then having some good freinds around you to set you right will save a lot of embarassment. this poor girl is guilty of some really bad judgement and having no job and no freinds when she really needs both sent her down this rabbit hole, 12 weeks is probably going to make her more Pi--ed off so I for one would like to offer her any advice she asks for when they spring her, good Luck Rachel..............

How many acres (hectares!??) of land is involved, this was the old opencast site once right?? 500,000.00 sounds dirt cheap, someones getting some backhand cash I think...........

happy birthday pete, hope your xmas and new year are really grand, all the very best.....

How about .. Grandma got run over by a reindeer, walking home from our house xmas eve ??

"then his music must be an aquired taste, how about "speedway at nazereth" one of the best songs when you,re on the road,and a great guitar riff in it

Back in the 60,s and 70,s the pit heaps were used as a giant sliding board, we used to get an old piece of conveyor belt and curl up the front bit with our hands and off we went, the bad part was when you went over a hot spot that caved in and you got burned!!! the real challenge was going off the station heap which seemed to be twice the height and much steeper the the dr pit. walking down the drift was another one of our dares, I never made it to the bottom but some lads claimed they did, it was full of muckle size rats!!

CARL PERKINS

HIS PARENTS / BROTHERS ARE DEAD AND HIS SISTERS MARRIED AND MOVED ON, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEONE ON THE SITE MIGHT HAVE SEEN HIM

hello guys, the last I heard he was on Beattie rd and before that on gladstone, a free beer if you find him!!!

aye man aa knaa wot a texas smoker is, I use an aluminium box about 4ft high by 16 ins square with about 10 shelves, a tray below that to hold a box of wood chips and spices etc with water, whisky or bourbon, and an electric heating element below that, I use fruitwood such as apple cherry or pear for flavor, I cure the fish or meat with salt and that will release most of the water in an hour or two which is drained off, then season with any spices you fancy and coat with a good helping of brown sugar...stick it in the smoker overnight at about 100 to 110 degrees farenheit and its ready to eat the next day, if its fish and its filleted right you wont have many bones at all. this way the meat is fairly dry and it flakes nicely in your hand, I just finished two 7 or 8lb steelhead trout that I caught in lake Erie Pennsylvania the week before and everyone who tried it loved it

hello, the only thing that comes to mind was the horse and wagon traipsin doon wor lane and us trying to find anything to give him and get some balloons, FYI A RAGPICKERS DREAM IS WHATS LEFT IN THE SLOP TRAY AT THE BAR AT THE END OF THE NIGHT ...A CHEAP DRINK TO SAY THE LEAST, Mark Knofler has a canny song about it...
