    Words to live by

    "A still tongue makes a happy life."

    "Questions are a burden to others, answers a prison for oneself."

    These were on signs in the "labour exchange," in a most idyllic place, "your village."

    From the pilot episode. No more hints.
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

      Bingo! Give that man a cigar.

      For extra points, what was the car that Patrick McGoohan drove in the opening sequence?

          Lotus 7. The real thing, and not a copy, as far as I'm aware.

            Not from a movie but someone I worked with and he repeated it often. A simple straight talking guy his way of saying enjoy your life to the fullest because..."When you're dead you're dead for a F*** of a long time!"

            He died 20 some years ago but those words to live by have stuck with me ever since.

                  Back in the day, I was driving a Turner and looking for a replacement. I had it narrowed down to two, a Lotus 7 and a MGA. Two quite different cars, but I found the lines of the A irresistible and got the MG. I was living in Tampa, Fl at the time and the only good sports car garage was owned and run by a retired Stirling Moss mechanic. He certainly knew how to tune a car. LOL

                    Iirc, the early 7s were available as a kit, and perhaps only as a kit.
                    Chapman probably didn't have the garage space to make some kind of assembly line or even area at that point.
