Why Aston Martin is classy
Not much of a fan of cars, but I surrender to Aston Martin. We have rented an Aston Martin DB9 while on holiday in Provence and this car is high quality, exhilarating to drive, has a stylish design and Aston Martin is also featured in many of the James Bond movies.
Trivia: 0-97 km/h (60 mph) time of 4.1 seconds. Top speed 295 km/h (183 mph). Engine V12. In 1982, Aston Martin was granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment by the Prince of Wales. The company holds the warrant to this day.

Gibraltar dispute and the Falkland islands

A Margaret Thatcher comment on the Falklands war: I’m standing up for the right of self-determination. I’m standing up for our people. I’m standing up for international law. I’m standing up for all territories – those small territories and peoples the world over – who, if someone doesn’t stand up and say to an invader ´enough, stop´, would be at risk”.
