Re: Picture(s) of the day....
I can't remember whether I have posted this before but if I have I apologise. I just thought it was a fitting time to go with the last post. This is the aircraft which my son-in-law began working with today!!:

I've read a couple of recent articles on Volocopter they do appear to be going places, and having little trouble raising investment.

Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know...

Well I wasn't sure whether to put this here in the picture of the day thread, or in the 'Joke I found Funny' forum....

The bottom bit looks ripe for a Room 101 deposit Marc, but its probably already been put in there in many forms
I know I've shoved windows update into my personal section of room 101

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Simon posted up a video of "fails" at the "youtube notorious" Rufford Mill Ford in Nottinghamshire.
This thread here
https://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/ ... 29#p686229
Now one of the only vehicles to "beat" the ford was this little offering from Citroen, slow and steady entry and maintaining a stable bow wave. Still a few thousand quid risk that wasn't worth taking even if it was successful that time.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Just a thought that occurred to me while watching Simon's video and now I am reminded.. Has anyone ever tried reversing through a ford with engine revving well before you enter the water? It just seems to me that the exhaust should be strong enough to keep the water out of the pipe and the front grill etc will be in the vehicle wave well and thus above water rather than being soaked by the bow wave? Of course you need a good boot/tailgate seal
