What happened to Birmingham on the map of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

And that is the question

I need a little time to digest what i read in the link But complaining about train travel being uncomfortable is the fault of the rolling stock, building a high speed line will not remedy that. Building a new Intercity line to me sounds fair but does it need to be a high speed line that needs...

I am not opposing to improving the inforstructure for the rail system. I believe England has to find a way to relieve congestion on its roads, I read all the time about delays and the amount of traffic on the motorway.

So I read on line as much as I could the cost the route and stations etc I never read how many people they expect to use this service and how often My question is how many people need to go to London from Birmingham every day at 200 MPH, at regular intervals through out the day ? I can see...

Old post I know, the Victor comment priceless. But I do remember the front cross member rusting out on the Alfa being a real problem as in TV coverage problem.

So as someone that's been out of the loop both on the new trams and HS 2 and reading the Eagle and Turn thread I thought some education on the subject for me was needed. I've read the fors and the against arguments both sides have valid points. The current cost estimate for me is still low do...

I think it's six of one and half dozen of the other, I have Netflix and never use it anymore, I subscribed for the English TV shows but now there all gone pretty much as was have a service here called Britbox, that has both the Beeb and ITV programing. I think in the long term Amazon will be...

Great set of pictures and thanks Ell. Now the gripe to demolish this pub is a crime how can knocking down this pub make sense, we are never going to build anything close to this ever again. Looking behind the bar I do not see any Castella Cigars or pork scratching.

So about 15 years ago I built a mini just to run around the beach here. Of course it got out hand and I ended up building a rocket. I went so far as buying a book by David Vizard on tuning the A Series engine. Did all the usual stuff block, head, valves, cam, roller rockers, no duplex timing...

Should have out 12 inch wheels on the front, I worked with a guy that did that.

The Austin Mini my first legal car on the road ( had a couple before I had a license ). 698 GNX Austin Mini Country Man ( the one with the wood ) ( the one with out the wood was a Traveller ) mine red with a white roof, hub caps from a Elf or Hornet along with the exterior chrome trim around the...

Jaguar a car company in Coventry with out Birmingham would maybe never made it. Lucas, Wilmont Breedon, SU, and even Dunlop . So for me I read some sad news the Jaguar XJ is done no more petrol powerd XJ's. 1968 the first year for a Jaguar XJ6 so for a kid that has had the Jaguar XJ in his...

A little more most of the Healey's came to America to help pay of our war debt Americans loved English sports cars because they had owned and driven them in England during the war. Now one of the reasons England exported so many cars after the war it was the only way the government would let...

My pop delivered Healey's to the docks for James Car Delivery the yard was just across from gate K on the Bristol Road He would work days then pick up the Healey and drive it the docks, then useing his trade plates catch a ride back to Brum. I think it payed 5 Bob back then the truck drivers...

I meet her on several occasions but now let me say this I meet the person she wanted you to meet. As with all people in show business it's always about them and they adore the attention We would pick up the car and deliver after service but as the studio was just down the street she would pop...

You remember the song streets full of people la la " everyone's gone to the moon" mid 60,s. We were a nation of shop keepers so the high Street had people now we have refrigerators and frozen food and supermarkets.

I fear that's a collection that could become a large one.

I don't remember the Plough and Harrow, but I was once told Selly Oak had the highest number of pubs in Brum ?. When I worked in the town I would come up passed the bus garage then turn right onto the Bristol Road where the picture house was. When I worked on Dawlish Road I would walk up to the...

Well that picture shows a Mk 2 Ford Cortina parked on the pavement. Wasn't 68 the first year for those ? and 65 for the MK 1 ?.
