Nice, I had an immediate flashback of Alexei Sayle's 'Ullo John gotta new motor'. If someone could kindly put the youtube link up, it's a crack up.

The Redline is the same. Swapping between it and the crewman is like a dementia test.

The crewman needs a key, the redline is push button start.

The Redline has an electronic hand brake and the button is in exactly the same spot as the electric window button in the crewman. Don't know how many times I've put the window down in the crewman before trying to reverse out then realising the actual handbrake is still on. :oops:

Did some good things (Czechoslovakia)

Some appalling shockers too (promoting smoking & failing to mention he was being paid by tobacco companies - as a philsopher he forgot about ethics and prmoting fox- hunting - definitley an ethics bypass)

Accepting an award from the fascist of Hungary their current leader Orban, belittles him.

Still sad for some & despite being a nasty little conservative his work against the Communist Czech's (cold war times) should not be underestimated.

Wouldn't know the bloke if he did a handstand in my cornflakes, but I'm no fan of foxes (or feral cats)
