On This Day in 1999
A series of fine saves from Neil Sullivan allowed the Dons to hold on for a point at Villa Park after Dion Dublin equalised Robbie Earle's effort. The goalkeeper made three outstanding stops as Aston Villa pushed for a winner in a one-sided second half. "Sully is in top form right now," manager Egil Olsen said. "I don't think that there are many better goalkeepers in the Premiership. Today the result was far better than the performance; maybe we were lucky for once." - historicaldons.com
I'm an Audi driver, no points in 30 years of driving, no accidents (touch wood), and I don't tailgate.

And now, back to the football... Good luck to the Dons and the travelling Wombles today. A 1-1 draw at best, but more likely is a two-goal win for The Gas. Fingers crossed that would mean Goodnight Irene for Ardley.

But then again the Unsackable One has got a job for life.
Most of the MkII Bulldogs like mine around that time were based on MGB / Morris Marina donors.

MGB 1800 was quite a big engine like they used on the maxi when BMC produced. Think they then became the K series engine.

It’s certainly felt a bit of anticlimax. I’ve got another 5 super car day next year at brands hatch to book.

Diddy - MGB 1800. 0-60 was amazing but then 70 was the top speed and it shook your fillings out!

Finally got the model I've been after for years. A beautiful 2 seat 6 cylinder tiptronic comfort machine with mind boggling performance but still just a little shy of 2 litres

Think I'm getting over 45 mpg in eco mode
I’m a reasonable driver but the atom took a little getting used to. I’ve had two track days in them. A normal one at dunsford and a supercharged. It’s only car that truly scared me. It made driving the 911 afterwards a bit like during a milk float. I’ve driven 4 911s on track days and they are the most balanced and most fun to drive. I would own one in a shot

I'm not a fan of Fiats but that is mainly from the past but Fiat 500 is also on my wife's list - in fact anything small that I'll struggle to get into and won't be able to drive. Fiesta also on the list but she won't go for anything with oomph, definite driving Miss Daisy (even on video games)

I've driven most cars on the market including a Ferraris Lamborghini's Aston Martins etc but the most fun was fun was the 1972 911 carerra rs I drove on a track day. It was the most fun I've had. Most insane car I've drove, super charged Ariel atom. 0-60 2.5 seconds

There's nothing better than my Bugatti Royale. I've absolutely no idea how may gallons she does to the mile, but my chauffeur may have an inkling.

I do like the Fiat 500 695 Abarth but best car I ever drove has to be Porsche Targa Carrera when I use to help out at a garage in the 80's.... Couldn't afford one but got to drive it.

Hand on heart the Fiesta ST is the best car I have ever driven. Absolute pleasure to drive and makes the daily commute that much easier.Mid 90s had a Ford Orion Ghia before going to the Fiesta SI. Could never get insurance for an XR2 and by the time I could that moment had passed.

OI I'd forgotten about Curries don't think they've ever had a good reputation. (I'm probably looking at Rav4 so might make sense if we both go down same route, maybe get a better deal).

Real man's car
Hate those Auris Hybrid!! I like to hear my car engine ticking over but there is absolute silence with the Hybrids. Had a Mini Cooper S which I modified and it pumped out 238bhp and I knew I was driving something fast from the tone of just the engine!! Appeared in ModernMini mag too!! My Moto is drive it like you stole it!!! Maybe our players should have that attitude on the pitch when they play knowing they are lucky to be football players.

Old style. Do they do a plug-in Auris now? It is about to be replaced by a new Corolla anyway. Curries are the main reason I'd never have another Toyota.

Is that the old style or the plug in hybrid. We're looking for 2 replacement cars (I know I'm going for battered but can take a hammering style) but wife is umming and erring and Toyota Yaris and Auris are options - I'm trying to talk her out of Yaris. She's not keen on hybrid.
