The guys over at The LEGO Car Blog are running a contest having something to do with appeasing their elves. They say extra kudos points go to the contestants who somehow include an elf in their entries. You may as well just hand the prize to me, boys. Sprint racing is dangerous, dirty and stupid...which leads me to believe the elves will get their little panties in a bunch over this. Seems this foolish elf has discovered his own definition of Sprint Racing!
W233DNO was a Dennis Dart SLF / Plaxton Pointer B31D new to Selkent as SLD200 in June 2000. It passed to East London becoming their 34200 before joining Central Connect where It was rebuilt to single door. It joined City Sprinter in 2013 and is seen near Eastwood Toll.
One of the prototype Class 150 Sprinters, 150001, at Matlock on 17 July 1985. The Sprinter is carrying a small headboard reading "Sprinter Link" - 150001 was new in late 1984, so was possibly in it's early weeks of service on the Matlock line in this pic?

Using a "Scrum sprint" for Saturday chores. (Auto-corrected to compensate for no flash.) View large for details.
--- Materials ----
- Foam board nailed to the wall in the dining room.
- Self stick 3x5 index cards
- Small sticky notes
--- Roles ---
- Mom = Product Owner
- Dad = ScrumMaster
- Kids = Scrum Team
--- Process ---
- Mom created spreadsheet of "sprint backlog" a few days before.
-- Jobs (or areas of the house) divided into smaller tasks.
- Dad created the heading cards, job cards and the sticky notes of each task.
- 10:30-ish AM a stand up meeting is held in front of the board.
- Points are assigned to each task. Just three possible values to keep it easy:
-- 1 = easy, 2 = normal, 3 = hard
-- Point values of each task decided jointly by kids
-- Value veto power (if needed) from Mom and Dad.
- Point value written on lower right of each task sticky note.
- Go!
- Kids pick any task or two, writing initial in lower right corner of each task sticky note and moving sticky note to "Working" column in the Job row.
- Kid completes task and moves sticky note to "Check" column. Kid then selects next task by initialing and moving it's sticky note to the "Working" column.
- Mom or Dad checks the quality of the work, moving the sticky back to "Working" or over to "Done" column.
- Proceed until all tasks complete about two hours later!
Worked great for our first time!

I made this between 15 & 20 years ago. Shortly after I got married, my wife introduced me to dirt track racing and I quickly became a fan of the Sprint division. She suggested I try to make one and with the parts I had, I came up with something that looked pretty good.......so I made 24 of them :P Since then, Lego has come up with some better relevant looking parts, so this looks a little dated, but I might have to remedy that. I also think it's time to cut down my collection by half ;) Here's a reference to what a Sprint Car looks like in case you are unfamiliar with them: www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1DVCJ_enUS470US472&tbm=is...
Comments appreciated. Enjoy!!
Remember the brave new world of Provincial later Regional Railways? 1987 and all that? Sprinters here there and everywhere, 150's on 6 hour jaunts across the country, 155's throwing their doors open at 70mph, the promise of the wonderful new Express 158's just around the corner (just don't mention the leaky roofs and the yaw damper weld cracks).
Well, some of those Sprinters are now older than the stock they replaced. Just sayin'...

This car belongs to former Falcon Club of America president. It was a complete restoration and I think he is working on a matching convertible. The 65 Falcon Sprint had the lowest production numbers of all the Sprints with 2806 hardtops and only 300 convertibles produced.

150 238 passing the sad remains of what had been Dringhouses Yard, on the south side of York. The 'Sprinter' is on the down Leeds line, probably a trans-Pennine service from Scarborough. These class 150/2 Sprinters had recently transformed the trans-Pennine services from civilised loco-hauled services to cramp, uncomfortable misery. This was a low point in rail travel, as BR struggled to update it's rolling stock under the Thatcher government.

2-car Sprinter unit 150 149 is seen under the roof of Liverpool Lime Street station. Carrying Northern Rail colours, most of the original members of the British Rail Sprinter series of DMUs (Classes 150/0 and 150/1) are now gathered under the Northern Rail flag. Having entered service in 1985/86, their replacement by newer rolling stock must be imminent.
The Cummins-powered Sprinters have undoubtedly provided successful in service, and unlike the Pacers of the same era, they did not require major re-engineering. But the Class 150s have not been the best in terms of passenger comfort - with British Rail being begrudged adequate investment funds by the cheese-paring Thatcher government, the Class 150s were strictly a no-frills design.

The 1977 Sprinter trains are the oldest equipment on Dutch rails these days. A single emu is on its way to Leiden at Warmond, in a fine drizzle.
Today was the first day of service for the Sprinter rail service in North San Diego County. The DMUs are built by Siemens, operated by the North County Transit District, and run between Oceanside and Escondido. Not techincally light rail, each car has a diesel engine under the floor. No wires!
Sprint was a two-stage, solid-fuel anti-ballistic missile (ABM), used in the mid-1970s by the United States Army. Never used in combat.
After visiting the Cherokee National Museum, I drove southwest, to go to Fort Sill. This is a United States Army post north of Lawton, Oklahoma. It is home to the Artillery Museum and the Air Defense Artillery Museum. I visited this place on June 8, 2019.
The 22-mile Sprinter service is operated by North County Transit District, linking Oceanside with Escondido, via 13 intermediate stations. The service is characterised as hybrid rail, combining the characteristics of light- and commuter rail. Opening in 2008, the Sprinter rolling stock comprises 12 Siemens VT642 Desiro DMUs. This unit carrying an unsightly advertising wrap is seen arriving at the Escondido Transit Center at the southern terminus of the line.
