Mardi Gras World is an awesome tourist attraction in New Orleans, Louisiana. Guests tour the working warehouse where floats are made for Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans. Mardi Gras World is located on the Mississippi River next to the Morial Convention Center, and also hosts private parties and corporate events.
Photo opportunities abound at Mardi Gras World! Not only can you watch people making the parade floats but all the props and figures from previous parades are out on display. Everything is so big and colorful! This angry looking imp was used in one of the past Mardi Gras parades. I'm told that nearly everything here is reused and recycled so watch out for this guy to make an appearance in some future presentation!
This is really a "must see" spot in New Orleans! They will even pick you up, and drop you off, right at your hotel!
Unloved and untaxed, this little Hillman Imp was left by the roadside a few minutes walk from our house in Dunstable. Photographed in March 1999, PNC 838J had been unlicensed since the previous November, and is awaiting removal by the council. It does, however, still appear on the DVLA records, so someone may have took pity on her and spirited her away........

After Drazelic's recent call to arms against the Tyranny of the Tap, I spent some time rebuilding the hip connection on my Imp (which, for some reason, has become my go-to guinea pig for this sort of thing).
In general, this connection actually works pretty well, but the white hinge used for the left hip is a bit floppy and prone to coming free from the pelvis. The black one on the right is more stable and even stayed connected after a 2 foot drop.
From an aesthetic standpoint, I think it comes of a bit thick and blocky, which isn't necessarily a bad thing; even when it is a bad thing, it could probably be dealt with pretty easily with some decorative greeblies or armor-bits (yes, those are technical terms...)

The Hillman Imp is a small economy car made by the Rootes Group and its successor Chrysler Europe from 1963 until 1976. It was the first mass-produced car with the engine block and cylinder head cast in aluminium.
Being a direct competitor to the BMC's Mini, it used a space-saving rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout to allow as much luggage and passenger capacity as possible in both the rear and the front of the car. It used a unique opening rear hatch to allow luggage to be put into the back seat rest. It incorporated many design features which were uncommon in cars until the late 1970s such as a folding rear bench seat, automatic choke and gauges for temperature, voltage and oil pressure.
Arguably, it was considered advanced for the time with its various innovative features and technical advantages over other cars. But reliability problems harmed its reputation, which led to the Rootes Group being taken over by Chrysler Europe in 1967. The Imp continued production until 1976, selling just under half a million units in 13 years.
In the early 1960s the Rootes Group started Project Apex, aiming to design a small car to compete with the BMC Mini. The result was the rear-engined Hillman Imp. The overhead cam, alloy engine was developed by Coventry Climax and drove the rear wheels via a four-speed gearbox. Early Imps had an innovative, but unreliable, pneumatically operated throttle. Although tail heavy, the independent front and rear suspension meant Imps handled well. This is believed to be the first production car, chassis number 6.
Hillman Imps, and derivatives like the Singer Chamois and Sunbeam Stileto, were assembled in a purpose-built, Government backed, factory at Linwood in Scotland. Problems with reliability and quality control had an impact on sales. The planned output of 150,000 cars per year was never reached, and only 440,000 Imps had been built by the time production ended in 1976.

The communications/observation tower. yeah, it's tall, and still more to go. Also, it's going to have an elevator hooked up to my power function box.
This photo is dedicated to eyetryshohard. His gallery is very young and is still growing in photos, not in quality; since each of his photos is full of it: he transmits his generosity, his kindness and tenderness through them. For me he’s a very special friend; we share the passion for photography as well as some of my origins. I’m really grateful for the testimony he wrote me, which I couldn’t thank him for but I keep in my memory since then :D
About this pic: this is my daughter Carlota. I wish Sam and she become friends and some day they hang out to take some photos and have fun!
