That lass has got the wrong gun to be a Bond girl - was she a SPECTRE operative? [Gun should be a Walther PPK]

Anyway seeing as you lot like older motors here's a couple of mine from BC [before ch'n!]
Yes a '73 Rover 3.5 litre Coupé [P5B]
and...

and again a '73 P6B 3500S
I was defo' young and foolish running to V8s at the same time - I thought I was broke then - then along came the ch'n. And now G ch'n!

Two very nice motors. I wanted one of both of them but never got round to it. Bet you wished you had kept them.

Here's me from a couple of days ago first feeling a little sorry for myself... Second alot happier going home! Although my wife threatened to push me down the stairs if I gave any more 'directions'!
Thank you to all the staff at guy's hospital in london ' tawn (far from home I know!)
 
As long as we are showing off our old cars here is my 1955 MG-ZA.
I bought it from San Diego so no rust. (None at all, What a treat!) Not being able to leave well enough alone it ended up with a supercharged MGB 3-main 1800 bored .060 over with an alloy head, MGB overdrive gearbox and 3.9 rear end. The wheels are MGA Twin-cam with MGB disc brakes on the front, and MGF on the rear. It was a lot of fun to drive and quick for a Magnette with something over 2x the power of a standard ZA. Its now somewhere in the US Midwest. Its one of those cars I wish I had kept.

Lovely thing Rich. (a work of art )

HOWEVER -

Must confess when I first saw it I thought it was a B series with a Freelander IRD attached to the head with an SU carb on the input shaft :D:D

Here's one I made earlier :eek::)

Thanks gstuart... To be fair they were great staff, especially with the enormity of the place, am I right I'm thinking it's the busiest in the UK? Coming from the backwaters it certainly felt busier than anything I have seen before!I was fast-tracked via the 'Dreadnought' service.. In fairness I went to see the consultant on the 24th and I was in having op on the 30th!!!! Amazing.. I was looking at least a 18 month wait locally! And work won't allow me back in duty until 100% so was important to get it done.im already bored of resting though but wife has warned me under NO circumstances am I allowed near the 110 :-( bollocks.. So close to finishing... He says...

Nice one mate, also really glad you are on the mend. !.. I worked for the NHS as a senior manager prior to retirement. (early lol - at 47 - good pension in those days) I was also clinical for 13 years. I can assure you this - in the UK, ANY issues at all that really concern you - pay to see a consultant privately ! . it will cost you quite a few bob, however, any issues will put you on top of the list (as the same consultant works for the NHS and has his / her own list !) - you can often be in for treatment in a week or less. ! - MONEY talks. !.. is it right or wrong ? not my issue ! - I am only the messenger - but what I say is true !.
You only pay for the private consult - the rest is on the NHS - it is called Queue jumping and absolutely works. - that is the hard fact.
I only wish the UK NHS was as good as the NHS here in Portugal - Here ! - it is simply excellent. FAR FAR better than the UK and that is a sad thing to say.

Bottom line - I wish you well and all sounds great :)

Thanks for your best wishes and I totally believe in what you say, from what I experienced (which I can only assume is the same as if I had paid privately for the consultation) it's definitely the case, a shame for those who don't have access to either the funds or as I do the dreadnought service.
