They don't make them like this anymore!

| This old Austin 7, needs more than a little restoration! Currently for Sale on Car and Classic.co.uk for £1,500! |
That is what happened to Alice Day, when her 1938 Austin Seven Ruby, had a little restoration work done to it.
The old car had been off the road for 54 years and, was nearly blown to bits by a Nazi bomb, during World War II, but escaped the bombing raid with it's owner Alice.

| Who the **** is Alice, with her Austin 7. |
Transmission fed by 3 gears including a reverse option, and from 1933, a 4 speed gearbox became available. Wow!
Alice has now handed the car over to her daughter, Jennie Brownsdon after owning it for over 73 years.
It was bought in 1939 for the princely sum of £145.

| This racy little number will set you back £20K |
Head on over to British Car Auctions.co.uk and you could buy yourself a 1936 Austin 7 Ruby, restored, with just under 50,000 miles for a guide price of between £4,500 to £5,000.

Asteroid heading our way!!!
Asteroid heading our way!!!
Stories like this will get you thinking about the movies "Deep Impact" or "Armageddon."But there is no need to worry, because this asteroid heading towards Earth should narrowly miss us!
The 50m (164ft) long asteroid, about half the length of a football pitch, was spotted last month by a team operating from Granada in Spain.
The large space rock known as, 2012 DA14 is due around February 15th 2013, but will whizz past our planet at a distance of "just" 14,500 miles (24,000km), which apparently is closer than orbiting satellites! To give you an idea, it is 11,601 miles from the UK to New Zealand so this rock is pretty close, he say's!
Surely it should be called 2013 DA14 if its due next year?!
If the asteroid, with enough power to equal that of an hydrogen bomb, enters our atmosphere and explodes, it could potentially destroy an area the size of Greater London!
Glad I live in Essex!
Nasa's Near Earth Object Program says the asteroid will be invisible to the naked eye, but could be seen by binoculars or telescope.
I'm sure we will see it, if it enters our atmosphere!
A system being developed by the La Sagra Sky Survey (SSA), using automated optical telescopes to detect asteroids like this one, is now in use, with the goal of spotting them at least 3 weeks before closest approach to Earth. Should give us all time, to dig a nice hole to hibernate in!
