Is that your photo, Puxa ? Post-processing or a tilt-shift lens to avoid the converging verticles ?
Sadly no longer a C5 owner :(

none of those Bobins, just a low viewpoint looking upwards and away from the traffic stream.

To best of my recollection, I took it. Info comes up on the original as the Compact Camera I owned at the time, 'tis nearly 10 years old, 2009

A quick guest appearance from me :) Today has been very special and I must share...

This dropped through my door today...

Sent by a certain forum member... You know who you are and I'm sure it won't take Sherlock Holmes to work out who!

To say I'm both touched and delighted by this is the understatement of the century :) I'm positively delighted. It put a great big smile on my face and rather made the day special..

Out on a long 80 mile bike ride today I could not resist take a picture for this topic :)

I enjoyed my lunch sitting in it :)

I also passed this landmark - it has a connection with a car show in July that I believe may clash with a certain Citroen Rally...

I may make an occasional post in this topic when I have something worthwhile to share...

Get your cameras out, and head to the railway between London Paddington and Bicester (via Reading) if you want to catch sight of an Icon;

another PoTD from my 'stash', this is my 'temporary' 405 pictured (the one I wished I'd kept, a 'changeover car' so in this case S1 seats with S2 Dash), pictured in Bristol. Gives a nice sense of scale. Suspected to now reside in Poland.

Oops. Apparently London Victoria Station was not properly prepared for the arrival of The Flying Scotsman!

James, I'll be happy to do that as and when I'm able... Maybe when I have a picture worthy of this thread...

A little self indulgent perhaps... took this pic of the camper last night just outside Calais on the D940 near Wissant, was really surprised just how lovely it is around there.

Got back home about an hour ago having covered 1768 miles since we left, pretty chuffed it made it back bearing in mind its recent history. :)

wouldn't say its self-indulgent, or even if it is well what's wrong with that? :-D

Congratulations on all those trouble-free miles after your various trials and the HG job in particular, I guess you'll have taken in Boulogne, how did you find it? Probably our least favourite place in France, we wondered if we'd been unfair and returned there quite recently, but no, not for us.

Our 'Likes'.... Abbeville, Le Touquet, Arques (including fascinating Glass Factory and Boat Lift), Berck and (of course) Paris
