Nope that is the Italians! Having served alongside the French, I have to confess I was impressed, especially with the World Famous 2eme REP!

Princess Anne had one of those you know.

Princess Anne owned several, at least four over the years. I had to arrange for the rebuilding of the gearbox in her last Reliant-built Scimitar which jumped out of third gear. There were no more new boxes available so I got the job of fixing the fault.

The Reliant Scimitar can indeed be considered the first "shooting brake" being built.

A small number used a 2.5 litre version of the Essex.

Very late cars had the Cologne V6. Easy visual is that the Essex had the distributor at the front of the vee and the Cologne was at the rear.

A firm called Middlebridge took over the design and all of theirs had the Cologne. That firm didn't last long and I have no recollection of the numbers manufactured.

Shooting Brakes go back to the very early days of the automotive industry so the Scimitar was far from the first although it was possibly the first of the modern sports estates.

A second junior scumbag has been arrested after the acid rampage around East London.

Am I sounding seriously right wing by suggesting that these disgusting little pieces of shit and their parents should be taken to some appropriate public place and given a really good flogging? No, of course they shouldn't, I'm just over-reacting - I think!

**Mal Hombre** · July 14th, 2017, 04:12 PM

They definitely should not be allowed to escape the consequences due to Their age,They should be tried as adults.

**SanteeFats** · July 14th, 2017, 04:35 PM

I read that they are 15 and 16. The age of consent is 16 in the UK I believe but what is the age of majority??
How about a forced enlistment in the front lines against Daesh, with just some water that they think is acid??

**haroldeye** · July 14th, 2017, 04:50 PM

The age of majority is 18, though the law has set the age for Criminal Responsibility (the age at which a child knows or should know the difference between right and wrong) at 10.

The British Army does not need thugs of this sort Santee, but thanks for the idea.

We used to send criminals to the colonies, you know New England or Australia but I'm sure that neither you nor Estreeter would want that to happen again.

My viewpoint is a very public flogging of say 100 lashes would teach them some manners and give a big hint to their mates that acid attacks are not a good idea. Sadly our legal profession are dead set against such simple answers (nothing to do with them losing their fees) so they'll have an army of social workers hugging them and telling them to be good little boys.

I have no time for the evil little shitheads and screw the lawyers and bleeding heart human rights sycophants I'd sentence twats like them to 5 years hard labour to start off and have them working 10 hours a day doing manual labour that we are told only foreigners can he hired to do. They can have every second Sunday off (only if they behave though)
Followed by 10 years in the worst rated prison in the country.

Just an idea

Nah-a good prolonged flogging-with a metal tipped whip that draws blood-THEN given a vinegar shower-for at least half an hour-so they get to experience something of what their victims felt.....oh-and both done at the time time-within earshot of each other-but out of sight of each other-so their imaginations can work overtime....

Singapore has the right idea for this sort of offender-the Rotan-excruciating pain and humiliation-and they don't get a lot of recidivists....

Sorry fellas, this is the UK. They will already have a lesbian social worker preparing their life story of single parenthood. Their promising football careers and how society has turned their backs on them by not giving them the latest playstation game to go with their smartphones. On the bright side when they get their three month jail time the mattresses may still be lumpy if the human rights act hasn't fully been explored.
