Picture(s) of the day....

[PaulC5]

I use a Lumix FZ45 bridge camera which has about 120x zoom and does most things well enough. It is probably similar to the Nikon. In the past I have used SLR ones with a few lenses but got fed up carrying all the gear.

[MattBLancs]

Not sure if it was Determination or Desperation.

Definitely dogged dedication!

Your image definitely preferable to my glow plug image a while back....

(Took the head off and actually it was due a good clean up (EGR sooted up inlet manifold)

[Steve Walsh]

I was very close to the head coming off. It was on my 2.3 Fiat Motorhome and I can't get it into my workshop so struggling on a muddy garden. or it would have been head off or even engine out.... It is a pig to work on, Doing full service at same time and RH engine mount bolts came out with the threads when getting to timing belt. Nice new stainless helicoil threads in now....It is amazing how one job leads onto the next. Planning on back together this week if the weather is good

Fingers crossed for you Steve And it's things like this that separate the average DIY'er from the like of us - the ability to resolve all these inevitable issues that can turn a prima-facie straightforward job into a right old dockyard-job...

Ah, it's a metaphor for all customer service phone lines: you start at the bottom, make a bit of upward progress, then get transferred, then put on hold, then find yourself back exactly where you started.

Excellent.

The white ones I owned.

Quite a collection there Mick, Did you have a motorbike licence when you had the Reliant?

Peter

[mickthemaverick]

Yes Peter I did to start with, but that was only 1 of 4 Reliants I had, I ran the Blue Supervan III for 8 years at 35p per mile allowance while on SFI for BT. The profits paid for our holidays !!:

In the order I had them long before Delboy!! TL to BR.

Brilliant, imagine what they would do with a diesel engine!

[CitroJim]

I've had quite a high proportion of white cars. My very first one was - an Old English White Mini.

The aforesaid Mini, Volvo 144 (in Cyprus) MG Metro, Turbo Metro, Holden Apollo (In Australia) Rover Metro, Xantia 2.1TD Estate, AX and Saxo...

I'm sure there another one or two I can't now recall...

Apropos of nothing, a random picture of a neighbour's dog, just to use up the last exposure on a film before developing it...

The dog was black and white anyway so no point in wasting colour film on it

Hop up and down at idle (like a Lanz Bulldog)

[Peter.N.]

I would suggest a multi cylinder engine.
