OK, so which of those American delights would you have most liked to have driven home in ? :)

I asked myself the same question at a gathering I was at during the week, and out of all of the various delights there, I'd have probably enjoyed driving the Morgan home as it'd give maximum smiles :-D

It's very hard to decide, The grand Prix or the impala I think or maybe the GranTorino from a purely nostalgic point of view. But there was a little red hot rod I didn't get a picture of I would say would have been great craic to drive.

Picture of the day - that wasn't.
A couple just passed by with what looked very much like a polecat on a lead and the phone refused to take a picture of it.

Whenever I see the mention of a polecat Steve, my first association is with the machine used to plant telegraph poles...

Meanwhile, one of my (repaired) cameras was quite happy to take this photo whilst out for a walk the other day :)

It's always a target for the graffiti artists. Some good, some bad but always interesting...

They look good in white Rob... I like how you've done a bit of a shadowy photobomb :)

Meanwhile, I've found rolls of film that are good for taking pictures of a certain sort of Xantia going round corners and one that's good for taking pictures of a particular model of Nissan :)

It's been a year since the last time ! :-D

Bryant and May with 3 baby cygnets this year. As far as I know, mum and dad are at least 13 - 14 years old, so no wonder they have a smaller brood these years.

And a big lump of Skoda SUV too?
Spoiler: show
just heading off the image, it could say "Kodaq"

Ah, which would not be right as seemingly it's Kodiaq !!

I trust you were paying attention and nothing was distracting you from the lecture ;)

We were all looking at the chap with his hand up who was asking a question at the time of the freeze frame. The entire lecture was broadcast live as an OU programme and is available to watch on youtube . I can post a link if anyone is interested but I have to say we both came away disappointed!! :-D
