Painting the actual ponies is crazy, the cars are already painted and they still crash. Cows destroy vehicles, my friend bumped one in a Black Cab. The insurance wouldn't pay out as they didn't believe he hit a Cow.
Once seen a stag go clean through a vauxhal astra estate!! That was one hell of a mess and the big bugger still got up and ran off. The car looked like it had been cut up by the firebrigade after a head on at 200mph. Made me very cautious on the stretch of road.
Welcome to Picture(s) of the Day Jayc, if you are starting off at page 1 its going to take some ploughing through :-D
I occasionally dig stuff up from the archives, but just chip in where you can and introduce us all to Shetland with a few Pics :-D

I'm beginning to see why some people don't like french cars #-o I've had to put my xantia back on the road until i have the parts & time to fix this, at least it gives me the opportunity to replace the worn track rod end :roll:

Not only French cars... The number of bits of springs I see on the roads when running and cycling is legendary :twisted:

At least a Xantia is immune from this sort of trouble!

Yeah to be fair I've changed numerous springs on other brands of cars, particularly Vauxhall's & I've pulled sections of springs out of car tyres before now too.

Gosh :o That's nasty! Causes a severe and potentially dangerous blowout I'd imagine... A very worrying aspect of spring breakages...

During my bike ride today, a particularly fine church tower with a lovely weather cock atop :)

Not quite in blooming profusion yet, and a bit dull and overcast so not in their best light :-D

Bucket?

Yes, it surely looks like one :) It seems to be out very early or maybe it was keen to enjoy today being equilux where night and day are of the same length... From now on the days become longer than the nights :D Magic!

Looks like you've had a gorgeous day up north Neil :) Unlike us... Been very grey and overcast down here until late afternoon. I took Daffodil out today thinking the day would remain dry but it rained and she got wet and mucky :twisted: I had to wash and dry her before she went back to bed...

It also rained on Robyn and I on our long walk today...

On our walk, we passed this church... One to get you thinking Neil ;)

Well I maybe don't have to draw such a big circle around Paggers for that one Jim, but then again you did say a long walk.... :-D If I get my magnifying glass out I may even be able to read the blue notice board. :-D

I can do a Double Robyn, and a pic from Geograph on today's church Jim. I remembered a picture you had posted up, and bingo you and Robyn are creatures of habit on your walks :!: :-D
