Got your number...

There's a nice Jaguar round gere that I've seen a lot lately, with a distinctive personalised numberplate - K19 . This has "rung a bell" with me for no reason that I've been able to think of until last night when I glanced at my DVD rack.

K-19 was the number of the first Russian ballistic missile carrying submarine and a recent, and very good, film starring Liam Neeson and Harrison Ford was made about its rather unfortunate first voyage.

The K-19 was also known as the "Widowmaker" - not an association I'd like with any car of mine!
