I think this picture well demonstrates just how much I enjoy running
Taken at today's MK Rocket 5K run - the prelude to the marathon runs tomorrow...
Definitely my picture of the day!
It was a lovely run in very hot weather!

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Excellent pic Jim and I like the marketing of the "CITROJIM" brand on the vest. Now dare you to use "Diesel Legs" on one of your next challenges!!!

Good thinking Neil! Next time I get some custom cycling gear I'll do it
My diesel legs work well for running too! Here's one more of me just coming up to the Half Marathon finish line
You'd not think I'd just run 13 miles at sub-2 hour pace in sweltering heat...

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Its my intention to splatter this across a few threads......slightly different picures of the same thing. Obviously I couldn't put it up a a whatsthisthen? Far too much Frenchcarknowledge in the FCF for that .
So a slightly different photo will appear on "Spotted Xantia's and other French Stuff" and seeing as it is a 70's classic it makes it to the "Classics" spotting thread too. But does it make it to "Classics the under £10K what would be nice?" thread.....have to look that up...wouldn't like to stray off-topic!
Sometimes the design house Pininfarina got it wrong (Hyundai Matrix). On other occasions they got it right (in my opinion)

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Another watery one...and the main point of interest in the photo.....
A rarity......an AA "branded" Depth Guage - Ford over River Mimram Codicote Bottom Hertfordshire
Citroen weren't averse to a bit of "sponsored" street furniture over in France. So if you have any interesting street furniture pics...contributions always welcome!

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Followed this on the way to Gloucester today, no idea what it is couldn't get any other view of it but as seen here, my passenger took the photo with some difficulty. on the move and over the pot holes.
The guy, suddenly without signaling, hit the brakes hard and shot off left into a lay-by.

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
You managed to get the most important bit Gibbo...the registration number.
Plug that in and out comes Dax Rush and being the "make/model" of the kit-car.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAX_Rush
It could even have Ford Sierra mechanicals lurking underneath the outer shell. At 1993cc it most likely has a Ford Pinto Engine in it.
Don't think they will be making any more DJ Sportscars who made the kits, went into liquidation in 2014

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Yep - I used to know the chap that took it ! Also... 24mph - that's a bit of a precise speed limit Presumably if your speed drops below or rises above that then something explodes

Ben Cruachan hillside, atop the underground pumped storage facility?
That speed limit sign says "24"!
Presumably meaning 15mph for the crew of metric engineers...

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
I am quite confident that you, with the assistance of those "diesel legs" could easily exceed that 24 mph speed limit!
