Apollo spacecraft

Had a great driving day on Saturday with other HPC members. We swapped cars a lot. Just had a message posted on the HPC website, thanking me for the loan of mine & saying " an auto Volvo estate, with the turbo out of Apollo 13"

While 3 others were out playing with mine, I drove an Alfa 75 from 1993. 2.5 litre V6 with a clutch on its last legs & tricky to engage 1st. Very high geared. A lot of fun, but challenging after my auto. Some great Cotswold roads & a couple of very experienced police class 1 members as co-drivers. Anyone who really wants to learn to drive well should consider HPC. It may seem expensive at £1000 for the course, but hey; some people spend that on new wheels. Once you're a member, you have the opportunity to drive with other members, sometimes in some exotic machinery.

> with the turbo out of Apollo 13

Hmmm. Now if he'd said "Turbo out of an Apollo spacecraft" then you'd know it was a compliment. It's the 13 bit that's worrying. Sort of implies there was a loud bang and it blew the panels off your engine bay! SPOOK !

Hmmm; hadn't thought of that.
