Very interesting - would like to see that complete, but not if they persist with that godawful rapping background 'music'.

Not sure Tony's on your wavelength there Rich...
-
But back to Oh Dear... what is the matter with these people? I think anyone seen with this sort of thing should be immediately sterilised...
-
Here's one that you ought to get Tony...
-
Nah, this guy really nailed it!
-
Yep, doesn't seem to affect him at all as far as I'm aware. He marshals and drives heavy machinery and I haven't noticed him being affected by bright lights which can be an issue with this.

There's a chap at Brands Hatch who has odd pupils - think its called bilateral coloboma.
Bit like below but his areeven more pronounced and look like goat's eyes, but vertical rather than horizontal.

Tony's original looks like a dust storm to me.
There were some good lenticular clouds a couple of weeks ago when I was skiing in the French Alps. Not quite as impressive as the one below but very interesting nonetheless. Indicators of good lift for gliding apparently. Worth Googling Lenticular Clouds and looking at the images - some truly spectacular pics there.

Its a young Aardvark.
Have only seen one out in the wild once - but it was rather dead by the side of the road when I did the London to Cape Town rally.
By the way it was expanded I would suspect that the tune it played once the gas escaped might be somewhat more impressive than what you get from giving a young'un a blow job!

Looks like the hill at Brooklands.

I'm sorry but to me that's just stupid.
Its not clever or difiicult.

That's certainly impressive but I think the wording of the article is a bit crap:
"was driving his BMW 3 Series in Johannesburg, when he slipped on a patch of wet tarmac, lost control and slammed straight into a guardrail. The massive string of metal went cleanly through the windscreen and out the back"
What it should say was he was hooning his Beemer - really givin' it large - and dropped it backwards into the end of the guardrail.
It obviously went in backwards, so to say it went clean through the windscreen and out the back is completely the wrong way round!

Pah! That's weedy! You want a proper response!

Nice. I quite like the half skeleton paint job. I reckon a plane painted up like below would look terrific (and scary!)

What are you doing up at 1.30 in the morning Sagitar?

Yep, was a hoot. However its not totally inappropriate, just unexpected. There was anothe one out for the first time too, but they had to cut out some sections.
I've got the ride height 3.5" above standard and that's just about enough and with the sumpguard it ploughs through most stuff.
The biggest problem is the lack of travel of the rear suspension and the rear damping was way too soft which did lead to some comical circus-car type antics.

Was out & about on the Preston Rally last weekend - all off-road in the Thetford, Norfolk area. We started 22:30 Saturday, finishing 06:30 Sunday. Tough night but the car held together well yet again. Just as well as I'd driven it up from Kent earlier and drove it home again after some kip at Stanstead Services.

Go online yourself at https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk and put your car details in yourself and see what that says. They may have had finger trouble.

Justice can be served after all. Eight months for the cretin:

Its the ammunition inside the tank that actually blows it apart, kicked off by the initial missile blast.

Obviously a spoof, but where did it come from? I recognise the woman in the picture, it's Esma Cannon, a comedy actress from television in the 60's.
The show in which I best remember her was called (I'm pretty sure) "The Rag Trade" starring Peter Jones and Miriam Carling.
I remember Esma more from the Carry On films, but then I am a generation younger...
Found the spoof on viz.co.uk. Here's another... Sorry but I still find stuff like this very funny.

Yep, magnesium was banned in single seater cockpits a long way back because once properly alight you can't readily extinguish it.
Still ok for outside components though but as said above probably more of an alloy these days for better strength yet still light weight.
