Another shot at the lychee nut.
We went to the local store after a hike this AM to get some lunch. I went through my check out of the fresh produce.
Hairy lychee nuts. This was the third shot of four.
By the way, I take back what I said earlier about lychee nuts. They are great.
My prejudice was based on an old memory of canned nuts at Chinese restaurants.
The fresh ones are good.
Brussel sprouts still suck.

The most modern bike I've ever owned.
A stout 98 horsepower that you don't have to rev to the moon to get to.
Six pot brakes.
A definite keeper.
After a long photo break Ive finally managed to put my tripod into our car (Skoda Octavia) and try some long exposure shots during my trip around my town. I put the tripod between back and front seats and used my remote control to make the shots. This photo turns out well.

Panning effect is straight out of the camera
A shooting session plagued by misfires. It happens.
I did one of these Christmas bulbs filled with flour and it looked promising and then spent the next hour with misfires.
Who knows why, but I persisted and finally got what I wanted.
And now if I could just find my old Barbie doll. I've got a great idea for another shot.
Its windy today, my least favorite weather the Santa Anna winds. At least they are not too hot and all the recent rain has made the hills a little harder to ignite.
Cheers.

I happened to look at this display this evening, it shows my average speed since I reset the mileage recorder. Eighteen miles per hour over the last 1,392 miles !
It is salutary to reflect that a good cyclist could achieve a similar average speed over that distance.
This is more of a modification as opposed to a MOC. I took the original Lego official set "75901 Flash Speeder" and modified the rear to remove the awful stud shooters and rework the cannon. The Lego original was a solid and well-designed set however. I wish I would have picked up a few more of them while they were plentiful.

Had a family weekend in Bude for Dad's 65th & popped into Padstow on the way back to Bude from Mevagissey :o)
Couldn't resist this one shot from the muddy slipway.

Speed
How fast will it go?
Can it get me
Over her quickly?
Zero to sixty?
Can it outrun her memory?
Yeah, what I really need
Is an open road
And a whole lot of speed...

The Alvis Speed 20 was introduced towards the end of 1931 and featured an entirely new chassis of the ‘double drop’ type. The engine was a much modified version of the type used in the preceding Silver Eagle models. Power output was quoted at 87 bhp and a variety of coachwork styles were available.
Presented for sale here is an example of the much sought-after Vanden Plas Sports Tourer, although the car in fact was originally a Vanden Plas saloon, first registered to a titled owner on 20th July 1933. It was involved in an accident in 1937 and returned to Vanden Plas where a new Sports Tourer body was fitted.
The car was to pass through the hands of several owners before being acquired by a gentleman in Dublin, who dismantled the car in 1971 in order to rebuild it. However, unfortunately he was unable to complete the project and the current owner purchased the car in a dismantled state from his widow in 2003 and set about a comprehensive restoration. This was completed in 2006 and the car returned to the road.
The engine was rebuilt by Milford Engineering of Kirkmichael, with new pistons, liners and valves and uprated to produce 100 bhp, giving the car a worthwhile boost in performance. There is a large history file with the Alvis containing plenty of early invoices and bills. There are invoices for parts used during the restoration, but not for labour as the owner did much of the work himself, all to a very high standard. The folder also contains FIVA papers making it eligible for some excellent events. There is also a couple of black and white photographs of an old buff logbook, an owner’s manual, and period repair manual.
During the past few years the Alvis has proved itself to be an excellent powerful touring car and the vendor has enjoyed trips to France and participated in a variety of events.
A well sorted Post Vintage Thoroughbred looking for a discerning new owner, it is ideally to suited to long distance motoring.
Another speeder to add to the grid. It came together during last weekend's 24 hours of Spa-Francorchamps, a GTWC race that I rather enjoyed. So that's the name.
Engines were the first thing to get built, there's a little breakdown of them at the end of the photostream but it's nothing hugely complex. After that it was the front stabilisers and then I realised I needed to connect those parts to some kind of cockpit.
I ended up with quite an industrial-looking cockpit, using my favourite part again, but inverted this time and with the 4-wide speed champions windscreen on top, which was good to use. I have lots of them.
I'll obtain a couple of 2x2 semicircle tiles and switch them out with the round ones at the front, but aside from that this was just a fun little build that I'm happy enough with. Got a decent amount of Star-Warsy greebling in, so hopefully the racing bulls graphics on the wedges can be excused as Fambaas from Naboo, or some other creature from the lore!
There's a couple of pictures with this and the junkyard speeder too, so keep scrolling.
I meant to upload this earlier in the day, the reason I didn't is because I'm already working through speeder number three. This next one is red and certainly not a Ferrari...
I photographed this car in one of the car parks at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies race meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008. It’s an Alvis Speed 20 SD Drop head coupe car with bodywork by Vanden Plas. The chassis left Alvis on 31st October 1935, was completed by Vanden Plas on 1st March 1936, and was sold in April 1936. It is one of 5 produced as a Model SD with drop head coupe body design by Vanden Plas. Its chassis number is 13013, one of probably only three that remain, and is the only car of its type registered in the membership list of the Alvis Owner Club. Mechanically the Speed 20 SD was one of the most advanced cars manufactured in the pre war years, having independent front suspension and a gearbox with synchromesh on all gears. The 2,762cc straight-6 engine was extremely powerful giving the car a top speed of over 90 miles per hour and it is fitted with a high ratio differential which enables it to cruise comfortably in modern traffic.
