A wonderful opportunity to own a piece of great history!

Probably not too costly, could be the perfect "TAX FREE" zone we all need right?

Perfect for 1/8 mile racing and donuts.

Will probably store loads of cars as well for the winter.

What do you say? GROUP BUY? :D Where do we put her? (if we use her as a bridge we can get toll)

Blimey, this makes me feel old (at 39). I remember watching that ship in action during the Falklands conflict in 1982 when she was only a couple of years old. Along with HMS Hermes she was the flagship of the Atlantic task force.
