As Top Gear's star turn would say through heavily jowled sarcasm. "This is a Guy Arab (pause), but its not any old Guy Arab (another long pause) oh dear me no".
Originally delivered to Lincoln Corporation in 1949 (I think) with a Meadows 6DC 10.35 litre engine, hence the short bonnet and wings. Meadows, who had a factory next to Guy's at Fallings Park, 6DC engine was an attempt by Guy to provide their customers with some thing more powerful and refined than the Gardener 6LW and more akin to Leyland and AEC's 9.8 and 9.6 litre offerings.
However allthough very powerful (135bhp) and fleet of foot, it was not very well designed or rubust. Operators generally replaced them with something else, when something drastic happened, rather than try to repair the 6DC. I think their speciality was snapping their crankshafts.
So I think this Guy inherited a Leyland E181 7.4 litre engine normally found in the PD1 and PS1 models, which was short enough to fit the resultant gap left by the 6DC.
Later on the bus was used by local firm Ruston's as a testbed for their air cooled 8.6 litre diesel engine, that they were then developing in the late fifties.
To this day this is the engine the bus retains, and develops about 120bhp and revs up to about 2,200rpm (I think).
So the Guy is quite quick if somewhat noisy. Still it adds to the fun.
If you get a chanceto peek at the engine it is so simple as to be unbelivable. Definitely a striking contrast to today's offerings which can look and probably are, extremely complicated.
I mean, it is obvious, it is appealing to your ecoguilt to make you carry it in your pocket waiting for that moment when you need his services.
And it is 100% guaranteed, right?
March 13, and this already resonated strongly. The emails had been getting ridiculous for the past few days.
At least I think it was sarcasm. It might have been a genuine exhibit, it was getting hard to tell by the end.
Nos volvimos amigos por el sarcasmo y mi egolatría. Nos une el gusto por las mujeres inteligentes y los radicalismos morales. Y, claro, la pose.
Si hubiéramos vivido en el siglo de las luces ocuparíamos altísimas posiciones en las logias herméticas que dieron forma a las jóvenes repúblicas o seríamos desertores ejemplares de los ejércitos nacionalistas; si fuéramos marinos, seríamos piratas.
Pero nos tocó vivir lejos de las conspiraciones que me hubiera gustado inventarme y de los descubrimientos que Rafa se merece. Así que nos queda sentarnos y echar carreta. Generalmente él habla y yo aprendo. Lástima que el tiempo no nos vaya a dar para terminar.
Ya me hace falta, de nuevo.
A landmark building on the corner of Station Road and the bypass in Mexborough has, at the time of writing, almost disappeared. 13 April 2013.
so this is fun (note my sarcasm... it's right by my house)... it's still there but now has like three times as many cones. the electric company is messing around over here... i am pretty sure it has to do with the apt building being built next door. a stupid ugly apt building with an asshole builder and they are trying to pass it off as eco-friendly but it is so cheaply built... pure greenwashing. they are charging between 1200 & 1400 a month for tiny little apartments. it's a total crock.
my focus is a bit off here but it's the best from that day. it happens to the best of us... or at least that's what i tell myself. taken in the evening, right after i got home... before i even made it to my front door.

this person digs Celine as much as I do, and so we should, their Spring/ Summer 2010 collection was FABULOUS. Dental Hospital wall, Chalmers St, Surry Hills.
About half way into my 12 hour day, Saturday. A day that shall live in infamy. If I'd take a better photo, you'd realize I hadn't even shaved. Where are Tommok, Herr Tumnus et. al.? AHHHH! "'T'reet me old mucka!'" I think, as I sit watching the clock . . .
in my land. the great Mother Nature is always subjected to ridiculous photo editing attacks.
I tried to do it like this so I would be cool, too!!!

nomadic01: Obama can suck it...
listentolee: Best picture ever.
Sarcasm: putting a mound of dirt right next to the only entrance really makes a lot of sense when the rain bounces off the dirt mound and straight into the work area. Idiots.

"For the sake of colours, Kodak film. We sell Kodak products."
This slightly dilapidated sign is on the wall of the photo shop in my old hometown, Kuhmo. The shop was where I was pretty busy getting film from and getting my photos developed, mid-1980s to around turn of the millennium. The shop has changed name and is probably under new management, but I was kind of weirded when I saw that the old sign is still there.
So I took a picture and threw a Kodak Tri-X filter (from Silver Efex) at it for proper sarcasm.
