My Story  Talk 13 Ministry at Colchester (1962-68) Part 1 Our time at Colchester saw the arrival of our first two children, Deborah in 1964 and Sarah, fifteen months later in 1965. Apart from the birth of the girls, the most significant aspects of our time in Colchester were the growth of the church, my ministry beyond the local church, and the lessons the experience taught me.  In this talk I'll be dealing mainly with the growth of the church, but first a word about practical things like employment, housing, holidays, and transport.   Employment, housing, holidays, and transport Before we were married, Eileen had been working in the Dagenham education office, and on moving to Colchester she found an excellent job in the education office there, which was within walking distance of our new home. She was soon promoted to a highly responsible administrative position which she held until shortly before Debbie was born.   As for me, although the church was contributing £5 a week towards the rent of our bungalow, it was essential that, for the time being at least, I find full-time secular employment. For the first year, the nearest RE (Religious Education) teaching post available was in Braintree which necessitated a thirty-mile round trip every day.   However, a year later a post became available in Colchester at the Alderman Blaxill Secondary School, a little over a mile from our church and a similar distance from our home. In those days the RE syllabus was based almost entirely on the Bible, so lesson preparation was not difficult, and I became very much aware that teaching 300 children every week was an important part of my ministry. I will say more later about how the Lord remarkably blessed that work, but how in 1966 the Lord called me to give up the teaching job and give myself full-time to the work of the church.   The rent for the bungalow we were living in was about £28 a month, which sounds ridiculously low by today's prices, but it didn't seem so then bearing in mind that my monthly salary as a teacher was only £60!  However, we soon discovered that some new houses were being built nearer to our church and that as a schoolteacher I could get a 100% mortgage to buy one. The monthly repayments would be just £18, £10 less than we were already paying in rent.   The only problem was that the builders required a £20 deposit to secure the plot. Eileen had £20 saved up to buy a hoover, which we desperately needed, and we were wondering what to do, when my mother, not knowing anything about our plans to buy a new property, phoned to say that she was buying a new hoover and asked if we would we like her old one, which was in perfectly good condition. We saw this as a clear sign that the Lord was prompting us to make the move, and we paid the £20 deposit and moved into our new home in August, 1963.   My parents also moved in 1963. They had been living in Hornchurch since before I was born, and now I was married they decided to move to a new bungalow in Eastwood, not far from Southend-on-Sea. So when the children came along we were grateful for our holidays to be visits to our parents who were equally pleased to have an opportunity to spend time with their grandchildren. Eileen's parents were still living in Hornchurch, and it was always good to see them, but my parents' home in Eastwood, with its proximity to the sea and the beautiful view of open countryside to the rear of the property was especially inviting. We usually travelled there on a Monday and returned on the Saturday so as not to leave the church unattended on Sundays.   But that brings me to the subject of transport. During the course of my ministry, I have owned or had the use of some fifty different vehicles, ranging from my first car, a Ford Prefect, which I bought during my final term at Oxford, to my recently acquired nine-year-old Mercedes E-Class saloon. The Ford Prefect broke down in the cold winter of 1963 when the snow lay on the ground throughout January, February and most of March.   I was on my way to school in Braintree when it happened, and I quickly decided that I needed something more reliable. That was when we bought our fourth Lambretta scooter, reliable because it was new, but extremely uncomfortable and at times difficult to control in that freezing weather. So it wasn't long before I was back in a car again.   In the summer I borrowed an old Bradbury van from the father of some of the children coming to our meetings. He said we could have it for the day to take them to the seaside. Unfortunately, it broke down on the way home and I was left with about a dozen kids on the roadside. As I was wondering and praying what to do, a man came by in a Humber Hawk and asked if he could help. It was a large car and somehow he bundled all the kids on to the back seat and, with me beside him in the front, kindly drove us all back home.   But that gave me an idea. Maybe I should get a Humber and use it for children's work! I looked in the local paper and saw an ad for a Humber Super Snipe, even larger than the Hawk. It was over ten years old, but I had read somewhere that if you're buying a second-hand car it might be wise to get a big one. It might cost a bit more in fuel, but the engine was more likely to be reliable! Which has been my excuse for buying big cars ever since!   So I bought it for £80 and discovered that it did 11 to the gallon in town and, if you were lucky, 19 on a run! But it did the job, and I remember on one occasion squeezing eighteen kids into it to get them to Sunday School! It was only a short distance, and I realise now how potentially dangerous that was. But in those days ‘risk assessment' had not been invented and there was no requirement to wear a seatbelt. In fact, there were no seatbelts. Piling people into the back of a van or lorry was quite common, but of course there was far less traffic on the roads back then. And if it did enter our head that something might be risky, we just trusted the Lord to take care of us!   But it soon became obvious that we needed something more suited to the task, and I traded in my Humber for a 12-seater minibus. And before long we were running four minibuses to bring people to the meetings as one person after another, following my example, exchanged their car for one. Everything we have belongs to the Lord, and if changing our car for a minibus will lead to more people coming to Christ, we should surely be prepared to do so. The commitment of such people was undoubtedly one of the reasons for the growth of the church while we were there, and that's where we turn to next.   The growth of the church The Full Gospel Mission, Straight Road, Lexden, was nothing more than a tin hut with the potential to seat at most eighty people. When Eileen and I arrived, there were only twelve regular attenders, and that included a family of four who emigrated to Australia not long after our arrival, leaving us with a congregation of eight. By the time we left, the church was packed every Sunday with eighty regular attenders, which, in the 1960s was considered rapid growth, and my main purpose in this section is to explore the reasons why. But first, a word about the church programme.   Church programme When we arrived in Colchester we inherited what was a typical programme for AoG churches in those days. On Sunday mornings there was the Breaking of Bread service, otherwise known as Communion. There was a Sunday School for the children in the afternoon, and on Sunday evenings there was the Gospel Service where all the hymns and the sermon were designed to bring people to Christ, and after which there would be laying on of hands and prayer for the sick.   Midweek on Tuesday evenings there was a Children's Meeting from six to seven followed by a Prayer Meeting at nine, and on Thursday evenings there was Bible Study. There was no meeting for young people until we started one on a Friday, but more of that later.   The attendance at these meetings was far from encouraging. In fact, during our first year at Colchester, the Sunday School and Children's Meeting were attended by only a handful of children, and the midweek meetings for adults were hardly better. On Sundays, if we had visitors, numbers might rise to fifteen. I faithfully preached the gospel every Sunday evening, but in that year we saw not one single decision for Christ, largely because most Sundays everyone present was already a Christian.   Apart from the weekly programme, there was the church's Annual Convention when a guest speaker would be invited for the weekend and friends from surrounding Pentecostal churches would come for the two meetings held on the Saturday. It was good to see the building full and to hear some of the pioneers of the Pentecostal Movement like Howard and John Carter. But while these occasions were a real encouragement, they hardly made up for the weeks throughout the year when so few were attending. So what made the difference in the remaining years where we saw our numbers multiply significantly?   Reasons for growth It is the Lord who builds his church, and in my view, the major reason for the growth of the church was, without a doubt, the fact that he strategically placed me as an RE teacher in a local school where I was free to teach the young people about Jesus. That, combined with the fact that he sent me key people to help me start a Youth Meeting on a Friday night, resulted in dozens of decisions for Christ, many of whom started to come on Sundays.   It all started when I received an invitation to preach at the Youth Meeting in the Colchester Elim Church. After the meeting a couple of people in their early twenties asked me if we had a Youth Meeting at our church, and I said that I'd like to start one but that I had no musician. To which they responded by offering to help me. David Fletcher was an able guitarist and John Ward an excellent accordion player. Together with their fiancées, Jean and Sandra, who were good singers, they made a great group for leading worship and were, quite literally, a Godsend.   All this, in the providence of God, coincided with my starting teaching in the local school and with a girl called Corinne, one of the children from a family in our church, starting there too. She provided the link between my RE lessons and the local church. I told the children about Jesus, and she told her friends where they could find out more.   So we launched our new Youth Meeting by hiring a couple of coaches to provide transport to the church from just outside the school gates. My new friends from Elim provided the music and I preached. In school I had been able to tell them about Jesus, but I couldn't make a gospel appeal in RE lessons! Now, in church, I had complete freedom, and on the very first night, when I made the appeal forty-one children made a decision for Christ.   And when a number of them started coming on Sundays, on one occasion eleven of them being baptised in the Holy Spirit, there was a new sense of expectancy among the older members. They were thrilled to see young people in their meetings, and that began to attract people from other churches too, including David and Jean, John and Sandra, who decided to join us because of their work with the youth.   Of course, our attempts to reach people with the gospel were not limited to the young people. I produced a quarterly newsletter which we called The Full Gospel Mission VOICE. We distributed thousands of these to the homes in the area, using my minibus on a Saturday morning to transport ten or so young people to deliver them street by street throughout the area. I can think of only one person who came to Christ through that ministry, but at least we knew that people had had an opportunity to read the gospel even if they never came to church.   After I had given up my teaching job, I also conducted two evangelistic missions in our church. Each mission lasted from a Saturday through to the following Sunday. We leafleted far and wide, each leaflet containing a message about healing as well as salvation, and, of course, details of the meetings. The meetings were well attended, but mainly by Christians who wanted prayer for healing, and although there were a few decisions for Christ and some healings, I have no memory of anyone being added to our church as a result.   And an SPF mission we conducted in Wivenhoe, a village near Colchester next to which the new University of Essex was about to be built, fared little better. It was a great experience for the students who participated, but there were very few local people who attended. Apart, that is, from Ian and Janet Balfour, a couple from a Strict Baptist background, who came to support us, got to know us, were baptised in the Spirit as a result, and decided to move to a house less than five minutes' walk from our church. They had four children all under the age of five, one of whom was Glenn, later to come as a student to Mattersey Hall, and, for a time after my principalship, its principal. The Lord clearly had a purpose in our going to Wivenhoe, even if, at the time, we felt rather disappointed with the results.   And Ian and Janet were not the only people added to our church as a result of receiving the baptism in the Spirit. Alan Coe, who was a work colleague of John Ward and had recently become a Christian, came along to our meetings, received the baptism, and joined our church. He proved a very faithful member, and when I was in contact with him recently was still attending regularly. David Littlewood, a former Methodist, later to become an AoG minister and a member of Mattersey's Board of Governors, was also baptised in the Spirit in our church while he was a student at the University of Essex.   But the ministry the Lord had given me of praying for people to be filled with the Spirit was not limited to those who would become members of our church. I had the privilege of laying hands on Reginald East, the vicar of West Mersea, and on Mike Eavery, the minister of the local Congregational Church and seeing them both baptised in the Spirit in their homes.   So the Lord was blessing us in ways that perhaps we had not expected, and if the results of the evangelistic missions we conducted were rather disappointing, he was showing us that the key to growth was to follow the supernatural leading of the Holy Spirit. Miracles happen as he determines, and I was certainly not expecting what happened one Saturday evening.   But I'll tell you about that next time.

My Story  Talk 12 Brasenose College Oxford 1959-62 (Part 3) Welcome to Talk 12 in our series where I am reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. This is now the third talk about the years I spent at Oxford. So far we have talked about life at Oxford, its academic programme, and my spiritual experience while I was there. Today I'm going to share with you my developing relationship with Eileen, our decision to get married shortly after I graduated, and how the Lord led us straight into pastoral ministry rather than going to Bible college first. Keeping in touch Throughout the two years after Eileen and I met, we had seen each other almost every day. Clearly, this could not continue while I was at Oxford, but we kept in touch as much as was then humanly possible. Of course, in those days there were no mobile phones. In fact, access to landlines was not easy, and anyway, it was extremely expensive. So Eileen and I kept in touch with each other by writing letters four or five times a week. We also managed to see each other every two weeks. As I have mentioned already, the terms at Oxford were only 8 weeks long, so by going home for the weekend after four weeks, and by Eileen travelling up to see me for the weekend after weeks two and six, we were able to see each other on a fortnightly basis. This was very clear evidence of Eileen's commitment to me as the journey on our Lambretta scooter through the busy traffic of central London was by no means easy. Obviously, we made the most of those precious weekends. On Saturdays we would often explore the surrounding countryside on our scooter or even travel further afield visiting pretty Cotswold villages like Bibury and Bourton on the Water. Or in the summer we loved getting into one of the punts moored by Magaden Bridge and heading up the Cherwell where we picnicked on the home-made sausage rolls and egg and bacon pie that Eileen had brought with her from home. On Sundays, of course, we went to church together before Eileen made the 60-mile journey back home to be ready for work on Monday. Of course, during the college vacations (which totalled half the year), the situation was completely different. I was able to see Eileen every day again. During the week, this was in the evenings as Eileen was at work during the daytime. And I was too, at least during the weeks that the schools had their holidays. As the Oxford terms were far shorter than the school terms I was able to earn some extra money by teaching in a local secondary school, which was to prove valuable for my future ministry as I was gaining experience in teaching children of a different age group from those I had taught in the years before I went to Oxford. But apart from working hours, Eileen and I saw each other every evening and every weekend. Sundays were taken up with church twice in the day, and midweek we regularly attended the Tuesday night prayer meeting, the Thursday night Bible study, and the Friday night youth meeting. We were desperate to learn more about our Pentecostal experience and the way the Pentecostal churches did things. In fact, whatever we were doing, our relationship with each other was from the start intimately connected with our relationship with the Lord and his will for our lives, even when we went on holiday. As I have already mentioned, our first holiday together was at a Christian Endeavour Holiday Home in Devon in 1959 just before I went up to Oxford. The following year we decided to explore the Lake District together. We travelled the three-hundred-mile journey on our scooter, stopping overnight in Aintree with one of Eileen's aunts, before finally arriving at a CE Home in Kents Bank near Grange-over-Sands. We had each visited the area before, but never together, and that fortnight was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy fellowship with other Christians as well as marvelling at the beauty of God's creation as we made daily trips into different parts of the Lakes. In 1961 we decided to go further afield and to spend four weeks touring France and northern Spain. So we exchanged our 125cc Lambretta for a new 175 which we trusted would cope well with the distances we would be travelling laden with two tents and all the paraphernalia required for camping. However, the moment we set off we both had some misgivings as the weight of luggage at the rear of the scooter made it harder to handle the machine safely, but undaunted we proceeded with caution and arrived safely at Southend airport where we had booked a flight on a cargo plane to northern France. Our first night in France was spent in a cow field with the kind permission of the farmer. We were both experienced campers, Eileen with the Girl Guides and I with the Boys' Brigade, but we had never before been woken by the sound of cows champing round our tent pegs and we quickly agreed to depart as soon as possible, particularly as there were no ‘facilities' available! We determined that after that we would make sure to check into proper camping sites. We travelled down the western side of France, stopping first at Paris for the weekend, camping in the Bois de Boulogne and visiting the thousand-strong Assemblies of God Church in the Rue du Sentier led by pastor André Nicole. Little did I know it then, but that was to be the first of many visits to French assemblies later in my ministry and sparked my interest in what the Holy Spirit was doing in European countries. In Angouleme we discovered that our GB plate had fallen off and, knowing that we were legally required to display one, we visited a garage there and asked if they knew where we could get a replacement. It was then that I realised how inadequate my A Level French course had been. Although we had studied numerous French authors, it was of little practical use to us now as no one had told us how to say the alphabet in French! Finally, by writing the letters down I managed to let them know what I wanted and learnt that in French GB is pronounced Jay-Bay. They told us that they could make us one, but it would take a couple of days. As a result, we had to travel further each day than originally planned which meant that we were both rather saddle-sore at the end of each day. We crossed the Spanish border between Biarritz and San Sebastian and immediately discovered that what we were doing was culturally unacceptable. Eileen was getting hoots and wolf-whistles from passing motorists because she was wearing trousers and not riding side-saddle! Of course, this would have been extremely dangerous bearing in mind the distances we were travelling each day and, at the risk of causing offense, we decided that we had no option but to carry on as we were. Extremely tired when we reached Burgos we decided to spend the night in a hotel and enjoy the luxury of proper beds. We did the same in Madrid for two or three nights before heading for Barcelona by way of Zaragoza. But before we reached Barcelona our scooter broke down on a mountain road and reluctantly I had to leave Eileen by the roadside with the scooter while I hitched a lift in a Citroen deux-chevaux into a village called Jorba to get help. It took two days to get the scooter fixed and by the time we eventually reached our campsite at Rosas, on the Mediterranean just north of Barcelona, it was already dark. A day or so later we arrived in Perpignan in southern France, intending to travel on up the eastern side of France on our way back home. But the scooter broke down again, and after two days camping at the back of an Esso station, we were compelled to return to England by train, leaving our scooter to be brought home courtesy of the RAC. Fortunately, it was still under warranty and was repaired by Lambretta after it finally arrived back in England some six weeks later. That holiday was the last we were to have together before we were married the following year and, in some ways, was a preparation for it. Like the holiday, married life is wonderful, but not without its unexpected events, delays, and difficulties. We were learning to face problems together, to be patient with each other, and to trust in the Lord to bring us through. Perhaps that's why I tend to advise young couples, wherever possible, to go on holiday together before deciding to get married. But that brings me to how I decided to propose to Eileen. Engagement and Marriage It was during my first term at Oxford. We had been ‘going out' together for two years, seeing each other almost every day. But we had never talked about marriage. I think that must have been because I was very conscious of how serious marriage is. Divorce in those days was far less common than it is today and for me, as a Christian, it would not have entered my head. I knew that marriage would be for life. What's more, I knew God had called me to serve him, and choosing the right partner was vitally important. So I was reluctant to commit myself. But just before I went to Oxford my father had a word with me. You'd better make your mind up about that girl, David. It would not be fair to keep her waiting for three years while you're at Oxford, if your intentions are not serious. Of course, I knew he was right. I had to make up my mind. The problem was, I didn't want to give her up, but I didn't want to marry her if she wasn't the right one for me. Finally I did what I should have done much sooner. I decided to pray about it. I got down on my knees in my bedroom at Oxford and told the Lord my dilemma. I told him that I would gladly marry Eileen if she was God's choice for me, but if not, I would give her up. And as soon as I said that prayer I received an overwhelming peace and an assurance that Eileen was the girl I was to marry. So, the next time I was home from Oxford, after a long and passionate kiss, I said to her, You will marry me, won't you, darling? Yes, those were my exact words! To which she replied, Oh yes! Of course I will. So we decided to get engaged the following summer after my first year at Oxford, knowing that the earliest we could expect to marry would be after I had graduated. After gaining her father's consent, we organised a wonderful garden party to celebrate our engagement on 2nd July, 1960, and eventually were married by Pastor Alfred Webb at Bethel Full Gospel Church, Vicarage Road, Dagenham, on 28th July, 1962. And the specially invited organist for the occasion was none other than Laurie N. Dixon, LRAM, the friend through whom I had first heard about the baptism in the Holy Spirit.    Our move to Colchester After our honeymoon in Cornwall, we moved directly into our first home, a bungalow in Colchester, where I had accepted the invitation to take over the pastorate of the small AoG church there. Colchester will be the subject of our next talk, but first I need to explain why we did not consider ministry in a Baptist church and why I did not go to Bible College as originally planned. With regard to the Baptists, the explanation is simple. Once we had been baptised in the Spirit, neither of us had attended our Baptist churches apart from perhaps an occasional visit. This was largely because the minister of Hornchurch Baptist was not sympathetic to a Pentecostal understanding of scripture, and the new minister of Elm Park Baptist had stated that the Pentecostals' exegesis of Acts was entirely unwarranted. Against this, my parents had told me that Leslie Moxham, our former Baptist minister at Elm Park, had noticed such a difference in me since I was baptised in the Spirit that he had said, If the baptism in the Spirit can make that much difference to David, I want it too. Leslie was later baptised in the Spirit and eventually became an AoG minister working with my friend Colin Blackman in the Tunbridge Wells assembly. And although, as we were to discover later some Baptists were beginning to get involved in the Charismatic Renewal, it was evident to us that our future lay with the Pentecostals rather than with the Baptists. But why didn't I go the Bible College before taking on a church? The answer is that I tried to. Early in 1962 I applied to London Bible College. There was a section on the application form where you were required to give an account of your experience of Christ. So I mentioned not only how I had become a Christian, but also how Jesus had baptised me in the Holy Spirit. My interview lasted about an hour, most of which was taken up with what I believed about speaking in tongues. Was it for today? And if it was, was it for everyone? As a result, I received a letter a few days later saying that they felt I would do better to apply to a Pentecostal bible college! Interestingly, their rejection of my application is mentioned in Ian Randall's history of LBC, Educating Evangelicals. The AoG Bible College was then at Kenley in Surrey. Its principal was Donald Gee. I had had a brief conversation with him after a meeting at the East Ham Easter Convention, and he had promised to send me the application form. But this never arrived. I also heard it rumoured that the lady teaching English at Kenley, on hearing that an Oxford graduate might be coming, had, presumably jokingly, commented that he'll be probably teaching me! This, together with the fact that some of my Pentecostal friends were telling me that I didn't need to go to Bible college, because I had got it – whatever that meant! – caused me to wonder if that was the direction I should be heading. So I said to the Lord, If you really don't want me to go to Bible College, let someone offer me the pastorate of a Pentecostal church. And within a week, I had my answer. I received a letter from the Colchester assembly asking if I would be their pastor. There was a bungalow available for rent for six and a half guineas a week (£6.51) towards which they were prepared to contribute £5.00. Apart from that, they could offer nothing, and it was understood that I would need to seek full time secular employment. But that's something for next time.

My Story  Talk 9 Between Brentwood and Brasenose (1956-1959) Part 2 In our last talk I mentioned that three significant things happened between my leaving school in 1956 and going up to Brasenose in 1959. I gained experience in teaching. I met Eileen, my future wife. And I received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. And it's the baptism in the Spirit that's the subject for today. We'll be talking about the events that led up to it, how I heard about it and how both Eileen and I received it.   In August 1957 at a Baptist Union Summer School in the Lake District I met a man called Michael, who mentioned that the following year he was planning to go touring Europe with some Christian friends who owned a car. He asked if I would be interested in going with them and I said yes. I paid to have driving lessons so that I could share in the driving. It was a wonderful holiday, not just because of the breathtaking scenery, but because it was there in Switzerland that I first heard about the baptism in the Holy Spirit.   In my book Signs from Heaven I have already recorded the miraculous escape I had from a falling boulder while climbing a mountain and how impressed I was with the simple faith of one of my new friends who prayed for me as he saw it coming straight for me. His name was Laurie and he was clearly moving in a dimension of Christianity that I knew little or nothing about. So I asked him what he had got that I hadn't got.   So he started to talk about an experience he had received after his conversion – being baptised with the Holy Spirit he called it – when the Holy Spirit had come and filled him to overflowing. He said he had spoken in tongues and told me I could read about it in the book of Acts. But although I wanted to experience more of God in my life, I wasn't interested in speaking in tongues, and I dismissed the subject from my mind. And I might have ignored it forever had it not been for the remarkable series of events which took place the following summer when both Eileen and I were baptised in the Spirit.   In the summer of 1959 we were both sitting in the youth meeting at Eileen's church singing from a well-known chorus book, when I happened to notice a list of books advertised on the back cover, one of which was entitled, The Full Blessing of Pentecost, by Dr. Andrew Murray. The title arrested my attention. Could this be what Laurie had been talking about the previous year in Switzerland? So I decided that it might be good to get it.   I mentioned this to Eileen and, without my knowing about it, she wrote to the publishers hoping to buy a copy for me, but a few days later, she received a reply saying the book was no longer available. The following Saturday morning, I went round to see Eileen and she told me that she had tried to get the book for me but that unfortunately it was out of print. A bit disappointed, I thanked her for trying anyway and, after spending the morning with her, returned home from Eileen's to my parents' house for lunch.   As the meal was not quite ready, I went into the sitting room to wait. On entering, I happened to notice a book lying on the piano and casually picked it up – The Full Blessing of Pentecost by Dr. Andrew Murray! But how did it get there? No one, except Eileen, knew anything of my interest in the subject. My parents did not know where the book had come from. It is true that my father had always had a large collection of books, but if it was his, he certainly had never read it, and didn't even know that he possessed it. Anyway, why wasn't it in the bookcase and how did it get on the piano?   No one had any idea how that book came to be there on the very day that I had been told it was unobtainable. The answer must surely lie in the realm of the supernatural. This was no coincidence. God was confirming to me that I needed to be baptised in the Spirit, and that afternoon, after I had read the book, I got down on my knees and asked God to fill me with the Holy Spirit. But nothing happened!   That evening, I went round to Eileen's and told her about the book. And after she had read the book she too started to seek for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. As Baptists, we knew next to nothing about it – only what we had read in Andrew Murray's book, and that, as I look back on it now, did not give an entirely complete picture.  As I remember it, it made a strong case for believing that there was an experience of the Holy Spirit beyond what we receive at conversion, but there was no mention of speaking in tongues as the evidence.   As a result we weren't exactly sure what we were asking for, but I had the distinct impression that if I was going to receive the Holy Spirit I needed to prepare myself by becoming more holy. I remember thinking that if I could only live a sinless life for a month, or maybe even a week, or even just today, perhaps God would fill me with the Holy Spirit. I remember driving my father's car taking care not to exceed the speed limit when, as I was going down a hill in a 30 zone, I noticed that the speedometer had gone up to 32 m.p.h. Oh no, I thought, I've missed receiving the baptism for another day!   Of course, I now understand, and frequently teach, that the Holy Spirit is a gift and can't be earned! But back then I was getting frustrated by trying the achieve an experience of the Spirit by my own efforts and inevitably failing. So I thought I would write to Laurie who had told me about the baptism in the Spirit in the first place. What should I do? To which he replied, David, all I can say is that if you are really thirsty, you will drink. But this was even more frustrating. The problem was, I had no idea how to drink! Laurie lived quite a distance from me and I didn't feel like writing back and saying,   Thanks Laurie. That's very helpful, but please, how do I drink?   So Eileen and I decided on a different approach. Perhaps we should find a Pentecostal Church and see if they could help us. It turned out that the nearest one was Bethel Full Gospel Church which was about five miles away in Dagenham, and easily reached on our recently acquired Lambretta scooter. So we drove over to take a look at it and discovered from the noticeboard that there was a prayer meeting every Tuesday evening. I was quite nervous about it as I had never been in a Pentecostal meeting before, but we were pleasantly surprised and were impressed with the number of people praying, even though prayers were interspersed with lots of Amens. We, of course, as good Baptists were only used to saying Amen at the end of a prayer! But what really impacted us was the use of the gift of tongues and interpretation. In the middle of the prayer time there were three ‘messages' in tongues each of which was promptly interpreted. And we knew that God was speaking to US. These people did not know who we were. We had arrived just in time for the meeting and had had no time for conversation before the meeting began. So when we heard the opening words of the first interpretation we were completely amazed:   You have come into this church seeking to be filled with the Spirit!   All three interpretations were equally directly relevant to us, and as a result we spoke with the pastor after the meeting and explained who we were and why we had come. His name was Alfred Webb, and he encouraged us to come the following Tuesday and sit on the front row where anyone ‘seeking the baptism' would be prayed for with the laying on of hands. So that's what we did, but we were rather disappointed when nothing seemed to happen when he laid hands on us. This happened week after week until we finally received after we had come back from our summer holiday in Torquay, Devon.   That holiday was significant for several reasons. It was the first time that Eileen and I had been on holiday together and we had borrowed my father's car so that we could take another young couple with us. My father had bought the car before he had passed the driving test so that I could give him lessons. (You may remember that I had learned to drive before we went on that holiday in Switzerland). Dad had not yet passed the test, so was happy to let me borrow it.   But, as far as the baptism in the Spirit was concerned, two things were particularly relevant. First, on the two Sundays we were in Torquay we decided to attend Upton Vale Baptist Church which was not far from the Christian Endeavour Holiday Home where we were staying. I was very impressed with the minister's sermon on Hebrews 11:6 and his emphasis on the fact that God rewards those who earnestly seek him. So I had a word with him after the service and told him I was seeking the baptism in the Spirit.   Sadly, but not unsurprisingly for a Baptist minister back in 1959, he tried to discourage me from doing so, something which, when I started my course at Oxford a month or so later, influenced my decision to attend a Pentecostal church while I was there rather than a Baptist church. However, that sermon on Hebrews 11:6 on God rewarding those who earnestly seek him did reemphasise a word of prophecy we had received at Bethel a few weeks earlier encouraging us to get up early to pray. Now I am not saying that getting up early to pray is a condition of receiving the baptism, but it could be an indication that we were earnestly seeking, that we were really thirsty (John 7:7-39). So for the rest of that holiday we got up early and prayed.   And when we went to the Tuesday prayer meeting after we got back from our holiday, it happened! This time there was another man sitting alongside the pastor on the platform. I had no idea who he was but as soon as the prayer time began he came down to pray for those who were seeking the baptism.   Eileen and I were kneeling in the front row and he came to me first. I was kneeling with my head in my hands on the seat of the chair I had been sitting on. The man, who I later learned was a pastor called Harold Young, said, Kneel up, brother. So I moved into an upright kneeling position and he then said, Breathe it in, brother. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, and I thought it rather strange. But I was thirsty and unquestioningly did what he said. I took a breath. Then he said, Speak it out brother. Again, I did what he said and I found myself speaking fluently in tongues. And I did not stop until the pastor closed the meeting 45 minutes later! Then someone came up to me and said, You had a mighty baptism, didn't you, brother? To which I replied, Oh, did I? To be honest, it was not at all what I had been expecting. Although I'm not really sure what I was expecting! By this time I had heard or read of so many different testimonies of people receiving the baptism and had realised that in some ways everyone is different, so I was not really sure what I should expect. What I wanted was to be filled with the Holy Spirit. I was not particularly interested in speaking in tongues.   What's more, I found myself questioning whether the words I was speaking really were a language. I had studied four different foreign languages at school and it certainly sounded like none of them. So was my experience real? These questions were going through my mind as we were travelling home on our scooter. But then I remembered something that Jesus had said in Luke 11. Our heavenly Father does not give stones or scorpions or snakes to his children when they ask for the Holy Spirit. And on that basis I chose to believe that what I had experienced was real. I'm so glad that I did. Its reality has been confirmed again and again in my life and ministry. But more of that in later talks.   But what about Eileen? She had had similar doubts when she heard what Harold Young had said to me and when he laid hands on her she did not receive. However, straight after the meeting he spoke to her and said, You do want to receive don't you? and Eileen said yes. So he took us both into the church vestry and placed his right hand on my head and told me to start speaking in tongues again. Then he placed his other hand on Eileen's head and said, Now you begin to speak too.   And she did! And later she told me that it had been in that very vestry that she had received Jesus as her saviour in Bethel Church Sunday school when she was only seven years old. So we were both baptised in the Spirit on the same day, September 8, 1959, just four weeks before I began my course at Brasenose College, Oxford, where I spent a lot of time telling other Christians about the baptism in the Holy Spirit. But we'll be talking about that next time.

15 Marcas de motos españolas que no conoces

Si preguntas por marcas españolas de motos la mayoría de los aficionados te nombraran como mucho estas 5: Bultaco, Derbi, Montesa, Ossa y Sanglas…Todas desaparecidas, salvo Montesa, “refugiada” en las motos de Trial. Hubo más, ¡muchas más! Que han caído en el olvido… y para eso estamos en Moto1Pro, para que no se olviden. Para entender este vídeo hay que recordar cuál era la situación en España antes y sobre todo después de la guerra civil. Antes era casi un país casi ignorado por el resto de Europa y con escasa Industria. Aunque más de la que muchos suponen, pero menos que otros cuya situación geográfica y sobre todo sus llanuras, habían hecho más sencilla la revolución industrial. Después de la Guerra Civil era peor, porque era más de lo mismo, pero con un país arrasado por la Guerra y cerrado al exterior, desde donde se importaba poco y se vendía aún menos. Conocer esta situación es importante para entender el mérito de estos emprendedores capaces de ponerse a fabricar motos en esas circunstancias. Vamos con esta lista en la que son todas las que están, pero no están todas las que son. Por ejemplo, he eliminado aquellas como ISO, Lambretta, MV, Vespa y otras que era licenciatarias… 1. Villalbí (1903 - 1905). Esta moto es considerada por muchas la pionera, la primera moto española. 2. Patria (1922 - 1936). Otra de las pioneras, de un nombre curioso y que comenzó su andadura, como tantas otras, en Barcelona. Dejó los coches de lado y Antoni Serra fundó en 1922 la “Fábrica Nacional de Motocicletas, Sidecares 3. Alpha (1924 - 1957). Nilo Masó Miró, expiloto de velocidad, empezó su actividad de fabricación de motocicletas en 1924 en Barcelona. 4. Gimson (1930 - 1982). Gimson nació como Gimbernat Hermanos S.A. 5. Soriano (1941 - 1954). Marca con el apellido de su fundador, Ricardo Soriano, y también instalada en Madrid. 6. Lube (1947 - 1967). Esta sí es una marca bastante conocida y que alcanzó grandes éxitos, incluso deportivos. 7. Rieju (1949 - Actualidad). Una marca con mucho mérito. Rieju viene de juntar los nombres de Luis Riera y Jaime Juanola. 8. Villof (1949 - 1965). Vicent Lloret construía tornos, pero un bien día le dio por las motos, poco más que bicis con motor. 9. Motobic (1950 - 1960). Su creador fue el vasco Lorenzo Zabala que diseñó un motor para poner en su bici Orbea. 10. Mobylette GAC (1951 - 1985). La licencia de Mobylette cayó en manos de GAC tras licencia que obtuvo de Motobecane. Fabricaron algunos de los ciclomotores más populares de la historia, con motores de 63 cm3. 11. ROA (1952 - 1967). ROA cuya denominación deriva del nombre de su fundador, Rafael Onieva Ariza alcanzó gran fama y éxito. 12. Cofersa (1953 - 1962). La empresa se denominaba Construcciones Ferrusola S.A. (Cofersa) que como tantos otros comenzó con la fabricación de pequeños motores auxiliares para bicis. 12+1. REX (1953 - 1959). Fabricaban motores auxiliares para bicicletas que diseñó Wifredo Ricart. 14. Ducson (1954 - 1988). Esta marca barcelonesa hizo motos de gran calidad y muy bonitas y alcanzó una larga vida, nada menos que hasta 1988. 15. Huracán (1956 – 1965). La empresa fue fundada por José María Duran Balet, empezó en un local de Barcelona y se trasladó en octubre de 1958 a unas naves de la calle Almogávares. Conclusión. Lo confieso: Admiro profundamente a este tipo de personas. Siempre digo lo mismo: Tener buenas ideas tiene mérito, llevarlas adelante, tiene mucho mas mérito. Y lo digo por experiencia conozco mucha gente que me da buenas ideas, pero solo unos pocos que las llevan adelante…

Wir haben darüber gesprochen, wann Martin in die Szene gekommen ist, wohin es ihn in den letzten 30 Jahren verschlagen hat und welche Auswirkungen das alles auf ihn hatte.Martin ist natürlich nicht nur Vespa- oder Lambretta-Fahrer, sondern auch DJ und Organisator diverser Events, unter anderem des "Soulboat" in Lübeck, wo viele von euch regelmäßig zusammenkommen (irgendwann werde ich mir das auch mal gönnen!).

Underage representatives of local GAA clubs, other sporting organisations, community groups and numerous street artistes joined ethnic groups as they danced their way up the road.

UrbanisMI - La rigenerazione di Ortica a Milano

“Ortica viene da Orto”. È il titolo di un coloratissimo murales a fiori a ricordare le origini del più piccolo quartiere di Milano: un angolo di città, sorto sulle sponde del fiume Lambro, la cui antica vocazione agricola riecheggia proprio nel suo toponimo. In questa frazione, annessa a Milano nel 1923 e prima appartenente al comune di Lambrate, c'erano appunto, un tempo, solo orti e campi irrigati, qualche cascina e una chiesetta medievale in una piazza senza nome. Uno scenario bucolico che finì per svanire quando, su quegli stessi campi verdi, iniziarono a germogliare fabbriche, strade ferrate e, nel 1896, fu inaugurata la prima stazione. Eppure, a quell'inesorabile isolamento dal centro della città, il borgo dell'Ortica seppe rispondere in modo del tutto singolare. Se è vero che l'omonima pianta erbacea cresce spontanea persino ai bordi delle strade, fra i detriti e nelle fenditure del cemento, allo stesso modo la comunità mai abbandonò le sue radici popolari, le sue tradizioni, venendo incontro, in autonomia, ai bisogni - anche ludici e sociali - di un quartiere operaio nato attorno a due soli blocchi di case popolari per ferrovieri, e intrappolato in un dedalo di binari all'estrema periferia est di Milano.Argomenti trattati: OrMe Orticanoodles; le stazioni di Ortica e Lambrate; chiesa di San Faustino e Giovita; la balera dell'ortica e l'osteria del gatto nero; il Cascinet alla Cascina di Sant'Ambrogio alla Cavriana; il gasometro dell'Ortica; l'istituto Martinitt; MyLine; Pitteri 8; Tucidide 56 all'ex Richard Ginori; quartiere residenziale Rubattino e Parco della Lambretta; Sintesy; Magnifica fabbrica, nuova piattaforma logistica e Camozzi Research Center all'ex Innocenti; Bistolfi 31 all'ex Sammontana; Homizy Rubattino; East Garden e Housing in Dei Canzi all'ex de Nora; Reinventing cities: Tre Piazze nel Parco all'ex scalo Lambrate e Green Between Urban Textures a Crescenzago; Welcome, feeling at work al Parco Lambro; quartiere di via Feltre; chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola; Ventura Lambrate; Contemporary Art Night.Fonti: zero.eu; napolimonitor.it; blog.urbanfile.it; clubmilano.net; pantografomagazine.com; linkiesta.it; abbanews.eu; viveremilano.info; hesitantexplorers.com; teatromartinitt.it; orticamemoria.com; fsnews.it; yesmilano.it; living.corriere.it; viaggi.corriere.it; martebenicult.wordpress.comI contributi audio sono tratti da: “Al Rubattino nasce la Magnifica Fabbrica della Scala” (estratto dell'intervista a Tommaso Sacchi, Assessore Comunale alla Cultura), video di Milano Pavia TV On Demand pubblicato su YouTube https://youtu.be/cIiFpSpCVpE?si=b1jW4gXTDzb3TlA6Dalla Milano storicamente avvolta nei toni grigi del suo passato industriale, emerge una nuova città che sta ridipingendo la sua identità urbana di verde, colore della sostenibilità e dell'innovazione a beneficio della collettività.

Una velada llena de emociones se vivió en la inauguración del Pueblito Artesanal, iniciativa municipal emplazada en el centro de La Calera y que congregó a una masiva cantidad de personas, quienes recorrieron sus dependencias y disfrutaron de un entretenido espectáculo. “Por fin hemos inaugurado un hermoso proyecto que realizamos con el corazón con nuestro equipo municipal. Quiero agradecer a todos los funcionarios municipales que creyeron en este proyecto y que entregaron todo su talento, compromiso y trabajo. Ha sido un día lleno de emociones con mucha gente y principalmente las oportunidades que les estamos entregando a las mujeres y hombres artesanos de la comuna “, indicó el alcalde Johnny Piraìno. La primera autoridad comunal señaló “este es un espacio que tenemos que cuidar, que apoyar y ser solidarios para que siga creciendo y generar espacios de participación y encuentro para cada uno de los Caleranos y que vengan a adquirir un regalito de nuestra comuna, porque La Calera está más viva que nunca y es una ciudad de servicios y llena de sorpresas”. La creación del Pueblito Artesanal nace bajo los lineamientos del alcalde Johnny Piraíno, quien visualizó la necesidad imperiosa de que los artesanos y emprendedores de la comuna, dispusieran de una vitrina donde mostrar y comercializar su productos y servicios. Para dar vida a este sueño, se determinó recuperar el edificio de la ex Escuela Palestina, que por años estuvo en desuso, con vehìculos en mal estado, basura, entre otras cosas. Se realizó de parte de los equipos municipales una limpieza y renovación completa de sus sus instalaciones, manteniendo su arquitectura colonial barroca, pero modificando el uso con fines turísticos y de desarrollo de productos de artesanía local. Abriendo nuevas y más oportunidades Más de 30 son los artesanos que forman parte del Pueblito Artesanal con obras en madera, lana, papelería, bisutería, estampados, trabajo en cuero, entre otros rubros. Para Ana María, emprendedora de “Piedra Luz” esta iniciativa municipal es una gran oportunidad para visilizar sus productos “estamos felices y muy agradecidos de la oportunidad y todo lo que ha hecho el alcalde por nuestra ciudad y en especial a todos los que somos artesanos, que nos dan un espacio para que la gente conozca nuestros trabajos, así que dejamos a todos invitados a que nos visiten”. También este espacio dispone de food trucks y sectores de entretención, junto a la habilitación de la Oficina Municipal de Turismo, con el objetivo de promocionar los atractivos de nuestra ciudad a sus visitantes. Destaca en Pueblito Artesanal el rincón del recuerdo de los años 60 de La Calera”, donde las personas podrán fotografiarse y rememorar los recuerdos de la época. Además, en este sector se ha confeccionado una terraza con durmientes, en reconocimiento a ferrocarriles, con escaños coloniales y una motoneta, que se usaba en esos años, del tipo Lambretta del año 1956. Es importante señalar, que cada sala del Pueblito Artesanal lleva el nombre de un personaje que forman parte importante en la historia de la ciudad. Las salas se denominan de la siguiente manera: -Sala 1 Luis Álvarez Herrera. director fundador ex Escuela Palestina. -Sala 2 Eugenia Huici. hija de la reconocida familia Huici y destacada en el arte y estetica. -Sala 3 Enrique Ariztía. gerente Cemento Melón y primer administrador. -Sala 4 Tito Arriaza Valencia. músico de la era dorada chilena y Nueva Ola. -Sala 5 Marco Espíndola Albornoz. preculsor de las artes dramaticas caleranas. -Sala 6 Luis Rocco Libuy. maestro fundador del Orfeon “Cemento Melon”. -Sala 7 Amalia Salas Ensignia- poetisa y escritora calerana. La entrada al Pueblito Artesanal (ingreso por calle Iriarte) es liberada. Su horario de atención es de martes a jueves de 12.00 a 19.00 horas, viernes y sábados desde las 12.00 hasta las 21.00 horas.

¡Estoy harto! ¡Ya está bien! Sí, de acuerdo, el diseño de la Vespa puede ser brillante, la idea de venderla a plazos, también y su estética muy atractiva… pero todo el mundo se acuerda de la Vespa… y olvidan a su encarnizada rival, la Lambretta. ¿Todo el mundo? Pues no, MOTO1PRO no la olvida… Y es que para muchos la Lambretta, sencillamente, era un diseño mucho mejor que la Vespa. Y entre estos muchos podría incluirme yo. Os explicaré por qué, pero antes quiero hacer dos cosas. “¡Bella!, mi sembra una vespa”… esta frase dice literalmente, “bonita, me recuerda a una Avispa” y la pronunció Enrico Piaggio al ver el prototipo que le presentó el brillante ingeniero Corradino D´Ascanio. Enrico tenía las ideas claras y quería hacer una moto, sencilla, barata y que no manchase. Esto último os parecerá banal, pero no lo era: En estos años, todas las motos manchaban de grasa, las italianas mucho y las inglesas más. El primer prototipo se inspiró en la motitos que se diseñaron para lanzar en paracaídas, fue un proyecto de otro gran ingeniero, Renzo Spolti, y su nombre era “paperino”, o sea, “patito” en italiano… pero este patito no gustó a Enrico. E hizo el mismo encargo a un ingeniero aeronáutico, el citado D'Ascanio que utilizó algunas soluciones inspiradas en la aeronáutica, como el chasis autoportante de chapa, los aviones no llevaban chasis, y una suspensión delantera al principio tomada directamente del tren de aterrizaje de un avión. Y esta Vespa sí gusto a Enrico. Era sencilla de llevar, limpia, bonita y como llevaba el motor a un lado, en el otro “cofano” llevaba rueda de repuesto… una gran ventaja en unos tiempos en los que pinchar era frecuente… En 1946 aparece la Vespa, pero Enrico, en su idea de poner este vehículo al alcance de todo el mundo, decide venderla a plazos, financiando él mismo las motos vendidas… esto fue un éxito, pero casi le supone la ruina. Y otra gran idea fue su aparición en el cine. Las escenas en Vespa de dos estrellas como eran Audrey Hepburn y Gregory Peck en la mítica película “Vacaciones en Roma” le dieron gran fama… fue la primera aparición de muchas. Además, cuando aparecieron los coches, sobre todo el 500, Enrico supo enfocar sus productos, con una publicidad muy acertada, a los jóvenes… un verdadero acierto. La fabricación de la Vespa en España, concretamente en la calle Julián Camarillo de Madrid merece un video específico, pues vale la pena… os adelanto que de alguna manera fue idea del propio Franco… La primera Vespa española aparece en 1953. Lambretta y Lambrate. Hemos comenzado la historia de la Vespa comentado de dónde le viene el nombre…. Así que haremos los mismo con Lambretta. En 1946 se comienzan a fabricar las primeras Lambretta en Milán, en un barrio llamado “Lambrate” que a su vez se llama así por el río Lambro… y de Lambrate, Lambretta, algo así como si fuera la moto del barrio. Hay otro genio detrás de este moto…. Bueno, unos cuantos. Pero sobre todo Ferdinando Innocenti. Recordemos que Italia perdió la guerra y quedó sumida en una grave crisis. Ferdinando lo perdió todo, pero era un tío con recursos. Vio que una de las primeras necesidades era la movilidad y no solo pensó lo mismo que Enrico, sino que utilizó recursos parecidos: Dos ingenieros procedentes de la aeronáutica, Pier Luigi Torre y Cesare Pallavicino. Para bien o para mal, podemos decir que la Lambretta era más bien un derivado de una moto a la que se la tapaba con una carrocería, que un scooter nacido como tal. Hay dos pruebas de lo que os digo: Una, el chasis de tubos, típico de las motos incluso hoy, que luego se tapaba con una carrocería de chapa… de hecho las primeras versiones eran “abiertas”, sin tapas laterales. La otra, la posición del motor, en el centro de la moto, no a un lado. Este detalle hacía que la estabilidad de la Lambretta fuese muy superior a la de la Vespa… En España la fabricó una empresa vasca, radicada en Éibar y con un nombre que a mí me parece precioso: “Lambretta Locomociones S.A.”. La empresa nació en 1953 y pese a un acuerdo con Honda en 1967 acabaría cerrando en 1984. Los edificios de la antigua fábrica aún existen. Vamos a compararlas. Yo os digo que ni el cambio manual, en ambos casos en el puño izquierdo, ni las prestaciones, ni su practicidad discriminan de una a otro. Pero hay dos cosas que discriminan: Estabilidad y fiabilidad. Estabilidad: Victoria por aclamación de la Lambretta. No hay color, es una moto previsible, estable, que frena recta y que toma las curvas igual para un lado que para otro… algo que no consigue la Vespa. ¡Ojo! Pero las Vespa, según fueron evolucionando, llevaban el motor más en el centro, pero en las primeras no podías dejarla rectas, se caían al lado derecho. Y cuando frenabas, lo sé porque a mí me ha pasado, la moto se ponía de lado… ¡daba miedo! Fiabilidad: Victoria, por diferencia, de la Vespa. Las Vespas eran muy fiables, muy duras, no daban problemas y eran eternas. Las Lambretta tenían en muchos casos un carburador caprichoso y los cables del acelerador daban más problemas que en las Vespa. A veces incluso, los soportes de los cofanos cogían cierta holgura y producían muchos ruidos. Una Lambretta muy cuidada no da problemas, pero hay que entender que en su momento eran vehículos utilitarios que desde luego no se maltrataban, pero no se cuidaban como cuidarías hoy una moto, sobre todo si tiene el adjetivo de “Clásica”. Como periodista creo que la Vespa es la ganadora. Tuvo mucha más repercusión y en los aspectos comerciales y de marketing Enrico superó a Ferdinando. Pero si me dices que escoja mi favorita… lo siento amigos “vespistas”, lo que incluye a mi buen amigo Juan, ¡me quedo con la Lambretta! La buena noticia es que ambas marcas siguen existiendo… y siguen siendo europeas…

HPR3601: Re: The Worst Car I Ever Had

Introduction This episode was prompted by show 3542 from Beeza entitled The Worst Car I Ever Had. Here's my story. I moved to Edinburgh in 1981, and before long bought myself a car - the first one I had owned. Before that I'd owned a series of Lambretta motor scooters and small to medium powered motorbikes. I'd been using a bicycle a lot after that. The car I bought was an oldish Peugeot 104, small, not very powerful, but it did the job. It was fine for driving around town and I used it to go and visit my parents in Norwich, England a few times, a long journey. I once drove north, up to Ullapool, a shorter drive, but it wasn't the car for long journeys. Mostly it was used around town. As the Peugeot started to give me trouble I looked around for a replacement. I was visiting my parents and went to a car dealer in Norwich and was shown an Austin Maestro. It was newer than the Peugeot and seemed to be in good condition, so I bought it, trading in the Peugeot as I did so. The Maestro range was seen as reasonably good as far as I knew, but this one suffered from some design flaws, in my opinion. The car I bought was only a few years old and had a fairly low mileage. It was the HLE model with a 1.3 litre petrol engine. It had 4 doors and a hatch at the back giving access to a reasonable amount of luggage space (often such hatchbacks are called 5-door cars in the UK). All Maestro models had front-wheel drive, and this one had a manual gearbox. Automatic British cars were not common at that time. The Maestro had a bunch of economy features: a 4-speed gearbox with some economy gear ratios an econometer on the dashboard with green and red LEDs indicating how economically the car was being driven The Issues The Maestro seemed to have been designed to be driven as empty as possible. As soon as there were any passengers, or luggage, or both, the car was a nightmare to drive. There were models in the range that performed well, I think. Being passed by them on motorways and when trying to drive up any kind of hill showed this to be true. I've read that the standard 1.3 model was pretty good without the economy features, but I never experienced one. The problem was that the gap in gear ratios between the second and third gear was enormous, as if you'd accidentally skipped a gear. The fourth economy gear could only be resorted to on flat roads – or going downhill – or with a tail wind – or with the car completely empty. I was happy to find a link describing these problems when doing research for this show. The description of the car made me laugh, but also brought back memories of the extreme frustration I experienced with this car! So, I conclude that this particular Maestro was a failure. It might be the reason I got it at a good price; the previous owner was probably keen to get rid of it. Also the car dealer knew a sucker when he saw one, and I was that fool! I kept the car for a few years, did very few long journeys in it and eventually replaced it with a Vauxhall Astra Mark III, which was in a totally different league!

34 anni di storia, 4 aree di Lignano Sabbiadoro occupate da 350 espositori, 3400 Demo Rides nell'ultima edizione, 450 piloti off road, 250 Moto Tours realizzati per conoscere la Regione, 14 Case moto ufficiali presenti con tutti i nuovi modelli, su 480.000 mq: pura adrenalina nei giorni centrali di settembre e tanta voglia di riassaporare la normalità e l'amore per i motori. Questo, in sintesi, il programma e i numeri da capogiro della 35ª edizione della Biker Fest che andrà in scena dal 16 al 19 settembre a Lignano Sabbiadoro (UD). Le spiagge dorate faranno a gara con le cromature scintillanti delle belve meccaniche, delle migliaia di ospiti provenienti da tutto il Mondo, a testimonianza del peso e dell'internazionalità raggiunta da questa kermesse, che ha fatto del turismo e della passione per i motori a 360° il proprio core business. L'evento si svolge in 4 diverse zone della città per accentuare e diversificare le peculiarità di ogni attrazione proposta, così che l'intera comunità venga coinvolta dalla manifestazione. Molte tendenze nazionali e internazionali hanno preso vita proprio qui e non a caso, il Custom Bike Show della Biker Fest è il più storico in Europa (nato nel 1987), affiliandosi alle origini con il “Rat's Hole” di Daytona e Sturgis (USA). Un'esclusiva assoluta è la Finale del Campionato Custom Bike Show IMC (Italian Motorcycle Championship) e l'unica data del Campionato Custom Bike Show Mondiale AMD in Italia, con l'esposizione delle moto più belle d'Europa. Fra i premi in palio 4 rimborsi spese da 1.000 Euro e stand gratuiti a mega fiere di settore come il Motor Bike Expo di Verona e Roma Motodays, e ulteriori accessori offerti dai maggiori Cataloghi internazionali, per un valore di decine di migliaia di euro. Grande riscontro desterà come sempre l'Area dei Demo Rides gratuiti presso lo Stadio Teghil, realizzati dalle Case Moto Ufficiali presenti: la scorsa edizione si sono contate oltre 3.400 prove moto! Non mancherà l'Enduro Fest un'area Off-Road a due ruote giunta alla 13° edizione della lunghezza di 7Km, mentre per le 4 ruote sarà di circa da 2Km, senza dimenticare l'impegno sociale con l'ospitalità ad associazioni di disabili che verranno accompagnati lungo i percorsi ed altre esibizioni di Garden Tractor, Moped, Vespa e Lambretta, queste ultime daranno vita al “Mods Meet Rockers”. Ma a questo evento non può mancare il buon vecchio Rock dal vivo con una dozzina di esibizioni live, e poi il Pin Up Contest e novità per tutti i gusti, come il coinvolgimento dello Skate Park e le esibizioni di WindSurf, particolarmente apprezzate, vista la location. Anche i gusti culinari saranno ampiamente appagati da cucine tipiche autoctone e nazionali, ma anche bavaresi, argentine e slovene, con gustosi piatti annaffiati dalle migliori birre artigianali in commercio. Quindi vari Moto-Tours già da giovedì, per visitare le citta dell'UNESCO e altri luoghi di particolare interesse in Regione. Le gite partiranno dal Luna Park in prima mattinata e sono organizzate e guidate dal Moto Club Morena (presente con uno stand all'ingresso principale) e dalla rivista Mototurismo, che per la prima volta scenderà in campo nel corso dell'evento. Gran finale domenica 19 con la 26° U.S. Car Reunion, dal 1995 l'evento italiano più importante e storico di auto americane: l'ultima edizione ha vantato la presenza di 400 splendidi V8 americani. Parlando di qualcosa di peperino non si può non citare il Contest “East Coast Sweet Pin-Up” che quest'anno raggiunge la sua 6° edizione. Un concorso che vedrà calcare il palco da oltre una dozzina di bellissime ragazze, pronte a sfidarsi a colpi di rossetto, act e battute.

The energetic arrival of our eponymous hosts Doctor Velvet and Blackout is heralded this week amidst chaotic, trauma inducing cacophony, extraneous luminosity and (to adopt the apt regional parlance), some bang-on Callard and Bowsers, courtesy of Mr Michael Reid and his Runaround programme. After enjoying a harmonious recital by pop quartet The Jags, we move swiftly onward to prime time entertainment that tests the genius of the genes where the Killeen and Price families contend with each other in the inaugural episode of Family Fortunes hosted by Mr Robert Monkhouse O.B.E. Have you ever wanted to learn about the mechanical intricacies of a three-wheeled Lambretta fire engine? Or perhaps you've wished to immerse yourself in the subtle nuances of silhouette portrait creation? What dish is associated with Spain? Why don't ATV acknowledge the geographical existence of Welsh towns?

Linda Sundblad känner många igen som solo artist och sångerskan från gruppen Lambretta. I det här samtalet kommer Paul eller Linda knappt in på temat musik då det börjar gräva i kärlek och relationer, andlighet, vad det innebär att vara vaken. Avsnittet må vara längre än vanligt, men väl värt tiden.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! En el programa número 47 nos visita un montón de gente. Acuden a la llamada sensual de Stacy, Rubén que nos envía un audio desde Motauros y Manolo que lo hace desde desde Valencia. También Manute, que desde la Casa Rural Argontz Etxea nos presenta su Lambretta ochentera con la que esta primavera hara, eso espero, la Transcantábrica hasta el culo del mundo conocido. La hermosísima Guada Araoz saluda a todos los oyentes con su voz melosa justo antes de que otros argentinos, Alejandro y Guada, a los que podéis encontrar en Facebook como Por el Mundo en Moto, nos den su particular e irreverente visión de este mundillo de los viajes en moto. Xabi Borinaga, un viajero de menguado presupuesto nos relata su experiencia en África con una moto prestada por un desconocido (eso al principio, luego ya no era desconocido). Pero sus viajes no se quedan en esta pequeñez: volver por Ulan Bator en auto-stop y cosas de parecida factura son habituales para él. Y Berni, de Max Vinilo nos habla de decorar una moto, un casco o un coche, con vinilos adhesivos y de viajes en moto, que es lo que más le gusta. Además le tiendo una emboscada a Charly Sinewan que, como sabéis no atiende mis llamadas, y consigo hablar con él llamando desde el teléfono de Stacy. Luis Araminio, Presidente del motoclub El Foro nos habla de una de las concentraciones invernales más emblemáticas en España: Riberas de Voltoya, organizada por su motoclub. Para finalizar, os propongo una ruta histórica, siguiendo los pasos de D. Pedro Antonio de Alarcón. Son dos horas de programa que, una vez más, se nos ha ido de las manos. Siguiendo recomendaciones de propios y extraños, las entrevistas son más cortas y, como veis, cabe más gente dentro pero no consigo acortarlas más porque los invitados a Viajo en Moto siempre tienen cosas interesantes que contar.Xabi Borinaga, un viajero de menguado presupuesto nos relata su experiencia en África con una moto prestada por un desconocido (eso al principio, luego ya no era desconocido) y Berni, de Max Vinilo nos habla de decorar una moto, un casco o un coche, con vinilos adhesivos.
