was driving around parliament square and noticed how the statue of sir winston churchill was cutting through the light on a foggy night . I pulled my car over onto the roundabout opposite the houses of parliament and told my non english speaking japanese friend to wait there for 1 minute while i just took a quick photo . After i quickly snapped a few shots i turned to see six policemen jump out of a van and approach my car. I ran back to the car and they told me i had parked my car in probably the most high security place in the whole of london . I explained that i just had to take a quick photo and meant no harm and showed them the picture ..... well i got a serious telling off but one of the cops did remark that it was a beautiful shot .

"Vintage setup, modern technologies"
The 2213 Lionheart V16 is a revival of the once revered supercar built in the early 1900's. The 1913 Lionheart was built using many exotic materials and utilized various components that were ahead of its time, but most were parted out for the first world war effort. Engines were transplanted into tanks, aluminum panels were reshaped for airplane bodies, and frames were modified to carry anti-aircraft guns. Of the one hundred chassis planned only twelve bespoke units were built, and only two known surviving 1913 Lionhearts are confirmed to exist. One is in the hands of a private collector in Switzerland, while the other is the factory demonstration car used by Winston to sell the Lionheart to prospective buyers. Exactly 300 years later Winston has revived the nameplate and the same setup as the legendary 1913 vehicle for a limited production run.
The modern Lionheart rides on a carbon monocoque tub for rigidly and is attached with aluminum subframes for impact protection. The aluminum body of the Lionheart is hand formed by master craftsmen in Winston's factory, were it takes two weeks to complete a single shell. The showcase of the Lionheart is the transparent aluminium oxynitide hood that displays the entirety of the V16 and stretches from the front grill to the windscreen. The hood is a nod to the stained glass bonnets used on the original Lionhearts, and although a stained glass option is not available on the new model a thermal resistant smart-tint is applied that will duplicate the tint of the cabin glass. The Lionheart’s long overall length obtained itself the same nickname as its predecessor: “The rolling obelisk”.
The 2213 Lionheart draws its power from a massive aluminum V16 engine that displaces 8.0 liters. The engine is naturally aspirated allowing for a rapid response in acceleration any time the driver presses the gas pedal. With 1,222 horsepower available at a moment's notice the Lionheart will rampage to a top speed of 270 mph. Such power comes with a great cost because even with Winston's efficiency systems dialed to max the Lionheart will only yield 46 mpg. Winston opted not to equip the Lionheart with a government sanctioned Fuel Reduction System – instead leaving it as an option – as it would add unnecessary weight and rob from the experience. This omission results in a $10,000 annual operating fee for owners who continue to forgo the system.
Despite 300 years in technological advancements Winston's Lionheart has so much understeer – even at low speeds – that reviewers described the handling characteristics as a train without rails. Built primarily as a prestige road vehicle The V16 is a harrowing driving experience on narrow technical circuits; reviewers contintuously came close to putting the Lionheart into walls when maneuvering at higher speeds, but on tracks with enough room to maneuver the Lionheart truly shines. Race circuits are best left to other vehicles in Winston's catalogue, the V16 is best suited for cruising to prestigious events of the financially well off, well connected, or well known; and making its owner's presence known.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PCc, DL, FRS, RA was a British statesman, army officer, and writer, serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955. Wikipedia

The turn of the decade has seemed to bring out an automotive hurricane. First there's the armada of maddening hypercars from around the globe, and now another foray into motorsport has begun, this time starting in the Americas. American car companies are in a love affair with high end traditional sportscars. The front-engined rear-wheel-drive two-seater setup had manifested itself into 3 forms: The Thunderhead TRV Supercobra, the Harrier Catfish, and the Rogue Destroyer. The latter of which will be hitting Europe in 2214 with right-hand-drive variants of the GTS model, arguably the best of the Destroyer variants. Winston Motors, British born marque and known competitor of Rogue, surely couldn't let an American invasion like this go undefended. Along with a demand for a less expensive performance car, Winston simple had to stand up and represent. Britain and sportscars go hand-in-hand anyway, so it was only necessary. It all started with Winston dropping millions of quid into a new plant at Malvern, then leaked blueprints of a new I6 engine. Finally, spy photos of a prototype testing around London. Finally in late October, the new Malvern Factory was complete, and in it held the unveiling of Winston's newest car. It was called the Longsword, and it's set to be the best sportscar England has had in decades. It hits all the right British sportscar buttons to start. Front engined, rear wheel drive, only seats 2, and is sure to turn heads. For design, Winston looked back at some of it's own models, mainly the classic V16-powered Lionheart. At £77,000 The Longsword is nowhere near the price of the Lionheart, but perfect to take on the invading Rogue Destroyer GTS. With a Turbocharged I6 producing 565 horses, it's not as powerful as the Destroyer GTS. And with a 0-60 of 3.4 seconds and a top speed just a little below 240 MPH, it's just a bit slower. But Winston is aware of this, and they think speed isn't where they'll hurt the Destroyer. Winston states with a new Independent suspension system the Longsword should do just fine taking the Destroyer on when it gets bendy, but there's more to that. The Longsword seen above in dark blue will be the only one assembled on Winston's own terms. When a customer purchases a Longsword, they won't just get the car, they'll get to build it from a list of limitless options and even add some personal touches so that no Longsword will ever be completely identical. Some may come in wacky colors, some may even be much more powerful than the standard Winston has set. The Destroyer doesn't brag This. And though the Destroyer is anything but uncomfortable, it's performance-centric attitude leaves better options if you're looking for luxury to go with sportiness. The Longsword aims to be the most luxurious sportscar on the market, every interior hand made with some of the best materials available. Rather this approach will help the Longsword take on the Destroyer is yet to be known, but all will be found out in Spring 2214 when the Longsword production will begin.

Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located near the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. The territory shares a border with Spain to the north. Gibraltar has historically been an important base for the British Armed Forces and is the site of a Royal Navy base.
The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a major issue of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations. Spain requests the return of sovereignty, ceded by Spain in perpetuity in 1713 under the Treaty of Utrecht.
The territory covers 2.53 square miles (6.543 km²). It shares a three-quarter mile (1.2 km) land border with Spain and has 7½ miles (12 km) of shoreline. There are two coasts (sides) of Gibraltar – the East Side, which contains the settlements of Sandy Bay and Catalan Bay, and the West Side, where the vast majority of the population lives.

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
[3 John 1:11 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
