You can try to escape the greyness of a Peak District November by buying a red car and painting the barn doors and farm gates red too, but it will still be a grey day. This is Burntcliff Top where the house is dated 1738 above the door. That's pretty old, especially compared to me.

Thanks everyone for the views, favs and comments, much appreciated.
After being drowned an battered by the waves, the red Toyota Hilux is still running - just a tad wet and sandy.
In case it isn't obvious: These pictures at the beach are based on the Top Gear episodes on the indestructible Toyota

New destination : Iceland !
This camper was my home away from home for two weeks in 2009
Photo taken near Myvatn. what the guides dont tell you : this area is infested with very agressive mosquitos !!
Lake Myvatn is one of the highlights of the north. All major services are provided in the village of Reykjahlid, such as a mini supermarket, bank, post office, health care centre, school and swimming pool. At Lake Myvatn, different types of accommodation are available as well as good restaurants and cafés.
Birdlife by the lake is abundant and a visit to the new Bird Museum is worthwhile. Myvatn Nature Bath is located just east of Reykjahlid village, where travellers can enjoy a relaxing dip in the warm natural water. In the Myvatn region there are many marked hiking routes. The Yule Lads live at Dimmuborgir in the Myvatn area, you don't want to miss them.

More Iceland here :
Wind and waves toppled the car over. Although you see a chain attached in this picture, I didn't count how often I had to re-stick them in the sand - just as the ropes in the original scene, these were quite useless.
Outdoor photography is fun, having a wet and sandy model afterwards - not so much.

Dropping a camping trailer on top of the Toyote Hilux - will this at last destroy the car?
Took me a whole afternoon to change to good bonnet to a slightly battered one - mainly because wherever you place a hinge, it's in the wrong place to actually work. And of course I added the blue ribbon that holds it in place.
This is still Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear with the indestructible Toyota

First day on the road in Namibia,its strange to drive on the left and change gear with left hand. Everytime I turn I switch the windshield wipers on !
Namibia is a very dry land and shade is scarce.

My first viewing of a vehicle from the Rural Policing Section of Nottinghamshire Police. They have recently bought three new Toyota Hilux 4x4’s to supplement the ones they had originally.
A lot of policing has been suburban or urban centred up till now but criminals and others have seen that there is a lot of money to be made from theft further out in the country as well as lots of other illegal behaviour of all sorts.
Theft from farms is becoming a major problem. Farm machinery including tractors and quad-bikes is frequently stolen as well as livestock like sheep and cattle going missing. Farmers diesel fuel is siphoned off out of vehicles or taken direct from tanks on the farm.
Trespass with trail biking over farm lands is increasing. Illegal hare-coursing where dogs are used to chase and kill hares happens in certain areas. Fly-tipping, illegal disposal of waste, often dangerous and including asbestos occurs in farmers fields or on secluded country lanes and paths is reported often on the news.
Countryside crime is rising. A fact that the Police Service now treat very seriously.
Don't try this at home, kids!
I mean, you are neither the A-Team nor Jeremy Clarkson with a film crew and a team of special effect guys. You may well end in a wheelchair...
Uhm, okay, you already are, but still... Just don't!

I've added a swing axle to my Toyota Hilux MOC.
Astoundingly, this was much easier than expected, I just replaced one plate between frame and axle with a pin connector plate 32529 , a 2x2 plate with pin holes 2817 and a pin - done.
Here we are in the woods, crossing a big puddle on a fallen tree.

This is the last picture from the small Top Gear series of the indestructible car.
To make it look a bit more realistic, I've made a slightly slammed version of the cab and ripped off one of the mudguards. In the meantime the car is whole and red again, one of the advantages of Lego.
That digger is the 42121 Technic kit, of which I've shown a small detail a while ago. I've slightly changed the innards of the cab to fit a minifigure. That's one of the things I really fail to understand about Lego - why are things in minifigure scale, but without room for any?
This scene is after the demolition of the tower block, on a pile of rubble, when it's dug out by the excavator.

This Sparrowhawk has been on the prowl for last two days, making multiple visits to my garden. Here it is perched on the back of my pickup truck and was last seen chasing a Blue Tit down my lane, after the Blue tit had the temerity to appear in the hedge just above where this photo was taken.
The Blue Tit returned several minutes later with it's mate so all is well! ... I hope!

Everyone seems to be doing it, so here are my MOCs - at least the ones I care to remember at the end of the year.
Top left the Kübelwagen, next to it the Schwimmwagen - both with colour variants.
Top right the Top Gear indestructible Toyota Hilux - bringing that to life in Lego had been real fun.
Second row is a Kajütboot, that's actually swimming, the Lanz Bulldog shortened by one stud - with all the changes I made in the meantime, I count that as a MOC, although the base model is of course still from Peter Schmid. On the right my favourite stupid chassis 2441 with my favourite Jeep - the Willys. Yes, I did build another 6-wide variant, but who cares?
At the bottom the G-TAR SHIP. 100 studs long, still too small in comparison.
Didn't put anything with less than, say, 50 pieces in the list, the ones like, "damn, I need a trailer for the next pic" or anything that was just a background. Not included, as always, are the Febrover, they'll get their own canvas next week.
Operated by the Royal Navy Bomb Disposal Unit and seen on the M4 in Newport.
I can find no trace of the reg plate on DVLA etc..
Nei pressi di una delle pozze dell'Etosha National Park (Namibia) uno springbok sembra vigilare il comportamento dei visitatori.
At the FLTS-W.
Probably first or second generation HiLux. I asked the owner/driver if I could shoot it and he said I could. I asked if it was two wheel drive and he said it was.
My buddy had one like it back in the 80s and that truck could go places and do things that no 4WD could go or do. I told that story to the driver and he said, "a day doesn't go by where someone doesn't comment on this truck." It was in really nice shape.
