1984 LOTUS ESPRIT TURBO
Owned by Robert Boyce for the past 7 years.
“When I bought the Lotus, the engine was leaking oil and needing a little TLC but with my son owning Powermax Engineering, we were soon able to rebuild the engine and make a vast improvement to the power.
The car is in brilliant condition for being 28 years old and still turns heads everywhere I go.”

Just unboxed my Nikon D4 camera. It has some really great improvements over the D3s (which I still own, and will compare to the D4 later). The sensor seems to yield slightly crisper images with better dynamic range. In this series, I don't believe I pushed the ISO higher then 800 but this was simply because I had lots of light. I was shooting with my Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII lens on my Gitzo GM5561T monopod since I still can't really carry any of my gear while recovering from / still dealing with some medical issues.
This camera seems to be a bit lighter to me and also seems to be a bit flimsier, especially so in the battery door which doesn't seem as sturdy or substantial as the past versions. The XQD card (which was included with my D4 along with the card reader) and this works really great, I didn't actually expect to like these cards, but they work great in both the camera and the computer, and feel great and are easy to instal and remove from the camera. Ergonomically this is one of the best professional DSLR's I have ever used. Functionality wise, I like the re-design of the menu's to me, its been made a bit easier to see when out in daylight. The screen also seems improved. The back of the camera and the top of the camera feel a little bit cluttered to me empirically, however I am sure that I will get used to it. I don't do much video so the inclusion of special buttons for this feature set, however I will get used to it, and I have shot a few videos recently, so I may appreciate it in the future.
Still, My favorite feature so far, are the backlit buttons on the back of the camera.

Taken in Whitby Museum
Whitby Museum is owned and operated by Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society, a charitable body established in January 1823, a period when such societies operated in many British towns.
It was founded by a group of leading Whitby citizens led by the Rev. George Young, a local Presbyterian Church minister, and author of A History of Whitby (1817).
The chief object of the Society was to setup and maintain a museum, specialising in fossils, since “Whitby is a chief town of a district abounding with petrifications and containing not a few Antiquities.”
The museum opened in September 1823 and the collections soon filled the original two rooms over shops on Baxtergate. In 1827 it moved to the top floor of the riverside building now known as Fusco’s Quayside Fish Restaurant. On the ground floor were the public baths, and a subscription library occupied the middle floor with the largest windows.
This strategic site on the fashionable promenade was a prime attraction in the Victorian resort. Lewis Carroll, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins were among the visitors. Bram Stoker’s signature appears in the Visitors’ Book for 1890, when he is known to have consulted books in the subscription library, including An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldovia by William Wilkinson (1820); along with Transylvania this is modern Romania.
The museum’s collections grew to include local plants, shells and butterflies, beetles and fishes, as well as many exhibits illustrating the history of Whitby, including some sizeable models of buildings and ships.
As the 19th century became the 20th the main anxiety of the Society was providing more space. After various proposals, in 1924 the decision was made to build a new museum in Pannett Park. Built at a cost to the Society of £6577, it was opened in August 1931. Since then the collections have grown apace, and has been extended several times.
In 1950 a new library, the Kendall Room, was added to house the Society’s collection of books, manuscripts and ephemera relating to Whitby and district. The Chapman Wing houses the museum’s large collection of ship models, and objects relating to Captain James Cook, and the local whaling industry of the 18th and 19th century.

see, I do own a tv (this is the small one).
Saw this when it came out in the theaters in 1975 - I was 9 - and boy did it give me nightmares. For what seemed like a loooooooooong time.
So, to battle my fears, I now choose to watch it on TBS at midnight. Or, I just wanted to watch the carnage and 70's special effects...whatever.

Montana almost always rides in the bow and Baxter paces or lays in my lap. He wanted to ride in front, but she wouldn't move so he went right over her with all four paws outside the cockpit.
Wednesday August 14th 2019 Ferguslie Tannahill Centre Own Yer Bike Inaugural Meeting No1.
Today saw the Ferguslie Community Council join forces with “Own Yer Bike” a local group that was set up by Marc Small, himself a community council leader. Who along with their youth members nominated members to positions such as chair person etc as part of their mission statement agenda?
The group have already given away and sold many bikes salvaged and repaired in what could be one of Ferguslie parks local action groups’ success. Only last week the group held an event in and around the Tannahill Centre, that saw a large turnout of adults and children alike, which prompted the Daily Express to splash the story over their centre pages.
Though still in its infancy the group have made contacts far and wide, where they hope to maintain and repair other group’s bikes while their main aim is to get kids off the couch and on their bikes for a healthier lifestyle.
So if you’re looking for a kid’s bike or would love to get involved in any if not all of Ferguslies many groups. You can find Own Your Bike on Facebook, or just pop into the Tannahill Centre for more info and find out what’s going on in your neighbourhood.
