Never had an XF-R but I did have an XL-5 - showing my age.

I really liked Venus in a prepubescent sort of way … and I wanted a hover bike. I got a scooter with a brake on the rear wheel that you activated with your heel … not quite as good somehow.

 we clearly belong to the same era ?

I don't get this 'life ends at 35' stuff. I wouldn't ever have classed myself as anything other than a moderate club runner, but I did manage 3 sub-3 hour marathons between the ages of 48 and 51 and a further 3 sub 3:06.

Depends how you look after yourself.

All so very true .. but genetics plays a part too. Sometimes you just get a good set of kit courtesy of your forbears.

   I remember Robbie the Robot saying "on our way home" each episode, they don't make kids programs like that anymore.

I never missed an episode ?

As an aside, A few years back I bought a Ford Focus, It's number plates had 3 digits along with others and were XL5, I bought it for £900 in the hope of selling the number plate, Got the V5 back and on it it said "number plate can not be sold seperately", Also it had a lowered suspension, My drive was on a slope so when driving on and off i'd scrape the sills, A couple of moths later sold for £350...ouch lesson learned.

Some Rams fans appear to have developed a sense of humour again since yesterday's win. Woohoo.

We all seem younger since we won our last game in 1066.

The things that make me laugh now, was the baddies being “Boris and Natasha” with suitable Russian accents and Steve Zodiac treating Venus like a skivie, “make us a coffee honey” 

We need a Jim Smith topic on Supercar, Fireball, Space City, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO and the rest. ?

(All right ! Playground talk now ?

RR’s only passenger vehicle engine in the 60’s was their standard 6.7 litre V8 but allowing for the futuristic setting and the technology of the day I suspect it’s motive power would have been a high efficiency Gas Turbine.

Rover had one that worked and Howmet Corp had a GT racing car that was surprisingly effective.
