On this morning's BBC news, they were interviewing Kevin Sinfield (ex Rugby League player, now Rugby Union coach), about his 7-in-7-in-7 charity ultramarathon to provide funding for research in to Motor Neurone Disease*
He was in the Foyer at Brighton College School of Science and Sport. And in the background...
Beats the shit out of the school I went to.
I googled the MOT history for both and they are legitimate splitties, not fake shells made to be used for catering.
* MND claimed a family friend of ours. I can vouch for it being a fucking evil disease. More about Kevin's challenge here https://fundraising.mndassociation.org/event/7-in-7-challenge/home

Sienna Miller drove an orange 1972 VW sedan in "Mysteries of Pittsburgh". I couldn't locate a photo, and I do not recommend this film.

How about a Ghia Coupe-inspired sports car, TV show "Speed Racer" episode 7 "The race against the Mammoth Car" (1967):
And to save this post with real Ghias, here's a light blue Coupe in parking lot, TV show "Starsky and Hutch", season 1 episode 15 "The hostages" (1976).
Medium blue Ghia in background, a few moments later in the same episode. Guest star John Ritter is in the bottom shot as an armored truck driver. |

I was thinking, because of how hot it gets here, about putting white upholstery in my Yukon Yellow convertible. Maybe not.

Empire State, 2013. Liam Hensworth and Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Terrible movie. Spotted by Mrs. Fish. I've converted another.
