Many times during following centuries, a naked girl was seen riding the dragon and evil people were made to pay their sins. What was the price the girl had to pay, no one knows. It's known what was the price of the first favor, but dragons are greedy by nature and the price tends to go up.

For once, Lord Wragg's car is not scratched or damaged after Barb drove it? :facepalm:

But only because the ground was so soft and the car sank in immediately.
 
That car has an interesting history, it's a 1930 Bentley Speed Six Gurney Nutting Sportsman’s Coupe ‘Blue Train’, so-called because the owner, one Captain Wolf Barnato, won a £100 bet racing Le train Bleu from Cannes to Calais, and thence on to London (GJ3811 belonged to him, but it was a replacement for the one he used in the race)

Thanks, Eul. Wolf Barnato entered the 24 Heures du Mans three times and won every time. He is the only driver with a perfect start to win ratio. Here is Terence Cuneo's painting of 'The Blue Train', showing the Gurney Nutting 3-seater coupe, although Barnato is now believed to have driven a different Speed Six on that occasion. ;)

Gurney Nutting were coach builders who supplied car bodies. :)

Barb in her Blue Train Bentley has evidently been keeping pace with HS2, Britain's glorious High-Speed Train project, now firmly stuck in a muddy field somewhere in the English Midlands.
 
Is this wiki bit current and true?:confused::eek::facepalm:

I love the Chilterns!

“The impact of HS2 has received particular attention in the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where the line passes through the Misbourne Valley.[247][248] In January 2011, the government announced that two million trees would be planted along sections of the route to mitigate the visual impact.[249] The route was changed so as to tunnel underneath the southern end of the Chilterns, with the line emerging northwest of Amersham.[250] The proposals include a re-alignment of more than 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) of the River Tame, and construction of a 0.63 km (0.39 mi) viaduct and a cutting[251] through ancient woodland at a nature reserve at Park Hall near Birmingham.[252] The work on the tunnel extension has started, but there is a challenge from local planning authorities that the work does not have permission. The tunnel extension has been referred to the minister of state for a decision.”

The whole thing is a tragi-comedy even Tree, Wragg and you would be hard put to match in your fantasies. :rolleyes:
